Gotta love the underdog

Is there anyone out there whose bracket is still in tact? I mean, who would have predicted UCLA, LSU, Florida, and George Mason would make it to the Final Four? Who would have thought that we'd have no top seeds left?

I'd love to see George Mason shock the world and win the title. Unless you're a LSU, UCLA, or Florida fan, how could you not get behind Mason?

There are few story lines in sports better than a team coming from almost nowhere to capture glory. It's satisfying to see teams overcome tremendous odds to reach the top levels of their sports. After all, isn't that the reason we've been pulling for Lance Armstrong all these years? It's edifying to see a guy fight cancer and win the Tour de France.

It gives hope to the rest of us who are trying to overcome our own challenges.
