March Madness

There's a touch of March Madness going around. Like flu and cold season, you can rest assured that March Madness hits Kentucky about the same time each year. For people who have moved into the area (like Amber and Gary), there seems to be a good deal of immunity for the disease. However, it seems the longer one lives in the Bluegrass State, the more susceptible that he/she is to it.

It is characterized by the desire to purchase blue clothing and name one's pets or children after Kentucky Basketball players. March Madness seems to transcend gender and age- it affects men, women, boys, girls, and other all the same. Those who have the most severe symptoms of the disease can name not only the starting line-up players for the University of Kentucky, but also their heights, weights, and tell you where each went to high school before becoming a Kentucky Wildcat.

So, as the SEC Tournament Final game unwinds today with the inevitable outcome of the University of Kentucky being victorious, in Kentucky, we will watch the Selection Show tonight to hear that our Wildcats are a #1 seed into this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. And how does this affect Fields Quarter Horses and the farm, you ask?

That's easy- Chevy is a huge UK fan. His personal favorite player, John Wall, reminds him of himself. They are both athletic, humble, and achieve the impossible with their crazy mad athletic skills.
