We're approaching that time of year where the closet gambling reaches its insufferable peak. The time when People that wouldn't touch basketball with a 10 foot pole suddenly follow US college teams. You get people talking about "their" team like they currently attend the school in question.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if more people would just admit they only care about March Madness because of the gambling angle, but that's not as socially acceptable, so most will pretend that they care deeply about sport.

The worst part is everybody knows that nobody else gives a damn about college basketball either, but everyone still does the song and dance anyways.
