Well, football is over...now what?

February is an interesting month in sports. Football is over, Baseball hasn’t started, Basketball is mid-way through its season, NHL just came back, and Nascar doesn’t rev up until the end of the month (yes, I’m serious…Nascar), so what should you spend your time doing?  Time to become a college basketball fan! 

March Madness is right around the corner (starts 3/19) and we all know how much fun it is to fill out a bracket and get involved!  So this year, you should start watching a few games, so that you don't go down the same route you did last year and pick the schools with the hottest players (you know who you are)!  Click here for the full schedule of the top games going on around the country.

Top five things to love about college basketball:
1. The heart & soul that the college athletes put into each play is admirable and might even get you off the couch to go for a run!
2. College basketball games are broken out by two 20 minute halves (NBA is four 12 minute quarters), so the game doesn't last too long. 
3.  Dunks are still celebrated!
4. The 3-point line in college basketball actually looks attainable for us common folk! So if we shot 30 basketballs we might make 1 in!
5. The fans, the fans, the fans - nowhere else will you see as many people with their faces painted with school pride.

So, have fun watching and let me know which college team you think will be a cinderella story this year?!
