You Must Be Courageous

 

 

 

The old man didn’t know the answer.  The young redhead asked, “honey, what does UMBC mean?”

She’s the kind of woman who can’t tell you what happened in the game, but can recite the last thirty minutes of the news crawl at the bottom of the screen.  He loved word games.  Never played them.  University of Massachusetts at Boston Commons?

Problem with March Madness, some teams from schools you never heard of.  From states, for God’s sakes, you never heard of.

Lipscomb.  Radford.  Really?

University of Maine – Bangor Coast?

“Hell, sweetie, I have no idea.”

We didn’t actually watch the game.  Frankly, didn’t look to be all that exciting.

Top-seeded Virginia was a 20+ point favorite.  UMBC, whoever the hell that is, seeded 16th.  Got into the NCAA Championship with a miraculous buzzer-beater.  “How about ‘You Must Be Kiddin’.”

The last time a number sixteen beat a number one was, well, never.  I’ll put their record at 0-135.

OMG, UMBC.

She’s the kind of woman who cannot leave a mystery unsolved.

University of Maryland- Baltimore County.

I liked my idea better: You must be courageous.
