Florida! My home state. My college FOOTBALL team of choice. And they made it to the Final Four! So did George Mason University! Wow. <p><br /> Too bad I was out two weeks ago.

I'm not much of a sports fan. I love the occasional <a href="http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp?c_id=stl">baseball game</a> (live), but other than that, it t<img width="101" height="146" src="http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/images/medium_57011863dk005_seton_hall_pi030822_lower.jpg" alt="medium_57011863dk005_seton_hall_pi030822_lower.jpg" style="border-width: 0pt; margin: 0.2em 0pt 1.4em 0.7em; float: right;" />akes a lot to usually get me interested.</p> <p><br /> However, I have grown to become quite interested in the obsession over March Madness college basketball. And so I've decided, if it comes up, I'm going to try my luck firsthand at March Madness 06.

Any information at all.<br /></p>
