It's that time again... March Madness. Here's the problem I have: I don't like basketball.
I try to like it, I really do, but it's just never been my cup of tea. I played it for a few years, so I recognize the skill and fitness it takes, but I always found myself leaning towards football and soccer. Since coming to Nova, things have changed. Basketball still isn't my favorite sport, but there's something about the unity that it brings to the Villanova that makes it that much better.
I've been watching March Madness with my friends religiously, and, after getting past round two, I'm confident in my wildcats. (Yes, I knocked on wood as I wrote this).
Villanova is going strong on both offense and defense, and, after all, we are America's top choice to win. Our boys are working hard to bring home another trophy, and Jay Wright is looking sharp as all get out as he leads us there. You may think I'm just a bandwagon, hopping on to my team because they're winning, but that's not the case.
Sure, it's an added bonus that our Wildcats are as good as they are, but I'd love them just as much if they lost every game. I think of them as my team now, and, even though I'm high key an embarrassment of a fan, they're stuck with me. I have every intention of screaming at the tv during each of the remaining games. It is an anxiety-inducing thing to be a part of, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
By the time this article is released, another game or two will have been played. While I can't know for sure how they will go, I have confidence that, if our boys play the way we know they can, we will be well on our way to the championship. (I knocked on wood again).
In conclusion,
V for Villanova,
V for Victory.
B for Blue, and W for White.
For the blue and the white,
we will fight, fight, fight,
fight for Villanova,
fight for victory.
For we're out to win the fray
Villanova lead the way
with a capital V
for Victory
