I want this as a bumper sticker.
My family and I join millions of Americans enjoying college basketballs finest through March Madness. Underdogs always get my vote as we watch intense competition bring out the best in these accomplished teams.
The Final Four is an intense, contested series (kind of like a heated, competitive primary election), so best of luck to all teams, and watch for this principle lived out: the team that wins is the team that wants it more.
To the teams that desire making it this far next year: Gear up! In the battle, set your sights on next seasons targets! From the shot across the bow the first seconds tip-off your leaders will be in the enemys crosshairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You wont win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons your Big Guns to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.
Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesnt work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be go for it. Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; youll only win the war if youve picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!
