Another reason to love March Madness

We went for a late lunch today (Good Friday). In the restaurant there were two tv's - one on CBS and the other on CMT. When Drake and WKY went into overtime I asked if both could be put on the game. And it was literally down to the last second - the winning shot was a clutch three pointer. But, what was interesting was the reaction in the restaurant. It was about 1:50 at that point, so there weren't very many of us, maybe 7 or 8 people total. ANd when that shot landed four of us through our hands into the air and yelled. Nobody in there had any connection to that game other than it was on, but everybody started talking to each other about what a shot and who saw that coming...it was like a little community for just a second.

This is the only reason to like sports bars, by the way. If you walk in to watch a particular game whoever is next to you is either going to be your best friend or your mortal enemy for the evening. Relationships are fun!
