Half hour to go in the central time zone. NCAA sanctioned basketball practices are about to begin. However, this might be the last year for midnight madness. Read here. Yes, it would be fun to have that first practice at Duke covered live in prime time. But I like the idea of getting all the real die hard fans to come play games, eat pizza, and have fun all through the wee hours as the team gets their official debut. I even attended one of these midnight madness events once.
7 o'clock madness just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Hey-
Came across your blog today. Great stuff. Agree with you on Midnight Madness. Wouldn't be the same at 7 PM.
Noticed you were a sports fan. Hoping you could add a Blogroll link to my "College Basketball Blog,"
http://collegeball.blogspot.com. I'd very much appreciate a link on your site.
And would gladly return the favor, adding you to my blogroll.
Thanks!
