Yes, my loyal readers, it’s that time of the year.

You know I love music and movies and politics and never like to pass up a chance to diss W or Michael Jackson or Kevin Costner. But it’s NCAA tournament time. I’m a Hoopsylvanian Homie. So I need to set aside those passions momentarily.

We love basketball in my neck of the woods. That’s the rest of the year. In March, it’s kicked up a notch. We are indeed Mad. Addled. Obsessed.

Soooooooo, for the next little while — as long as my beloved Louisville Cardinals remain in the chase for a national crown — I probably won’t be posting much here. Which is not to say that there might not be something other than hoops that catches my eye and is worthy of comment, but . . . probably not.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, if you want to keep up with all matters b-ball, with more than a few bon mots thrown in for literacy’s sake, check out my sports blog early and often. I will be following the Cards live and in person along the way, starting this week in Dayton. I’ll be posting periodically during the day to keep readers abreast of all the news and rumors that matter. You can find my LeoWeekly blog here.

Go Cards!
