Okay, I'm a few miles from the campuses of Kansas and Kansas St - 1 and 2 seeds in the March Madness basketball tournament starting tomorrow. I'm, taking Kentucky to win it all...
I figure I'd be happy if either Kansas team won, but I have this sense of doom - I always have it for teams I really want to win - that neither will win, and Kentucky seems like a good candidate to be spoiler (although I have Georgetown and Syracuse doin the misdeeds). So whats goin on in my head? Is that just a matter of hedging bets so to speak? Or is it some insecurity surfacing through my subconscious? Its kinda weird, I dont wanna take the teams I want to win even when the Vegas odds makers are telling me my team is the best bet to win.
