It's madness I tell you...madness!

I'm an NCAA sports junkie. During the fall, my Saturdays are spent watching college football from noon till night. When the season changes, my attention is turned fully to college hoops. I simply cannot get enough, and I like it.

Every year, when the NCAA announces the tournament field live on CBS, I sit enraptured by the reveal of all 65 team names. It's a testament to my devotion...and maybe a little sad as well.

Anyhow, without any further ado, I present my bracket (in text form) for the 2010 tournament. Remember, this is for informational purposes only...no wagering!
