March Madness

In case you’re interested, here’s the real scoop on the origins of the term "March Madness" — I still loathe Brent Musberger.
The article also drew to my attention an HBO documentary about what was probably my first tangible March Madness memory, 1985′s Nova upset of Pat Ewing’s Hoyas. Thus closes the article:
The producers Jordan Kranis and Margaret Grossi intelligently place the game in the cultural soup that found the hip-hop culture (whose devotees favored the attitude of the Hoyas) rising amid President Ronald Reagan’s saccharine "Morning in America" theme, and the "greed is good" excesses of the 1980′s.
