As I write, FAU is slightly ahead of San Diego State approaching halftime. And Miami has yet to start against UConn; that’s about 30 minutes in my future. Depending on your relative velocity mine versus the speed of light, the wait may be larger or smaller. 
In the event FAU & UM prevail over SDS & UConn, what is the larger significance of the NCAA championship being entirely up and down a ~50-mile stretch of I-95 here in CrazyTown?
1961 and 1962, Cincinnati over Ohio State, both years. So it’s not unprecedented, but it’s been a l-o-n-g time.
Ain’t gonna happen this year.
In 2013, the NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey championship game was Yale versus Quinnipiac. I believe their two home rinks are about seven miles apart. In 2015, it was Providence vs Boston University.
Agreed it is not the mostly likely of the four possible matchups. But stranger things have happened. And this therefore might.
I’m just wondering what Crazyland, plus Trump, plus DeSantis, plus FAU is merely a glorified community college, will do for the end result.
FAU is about 3 miles inland from my residence. Otherwise I can’t give a hoot.
But crazy is as crazy does. How many insane beach parties will happen? How much of the collective Spring Break crowd will try to change their destination over the next two weeksto Greater Miami? Then what? How many extra tons of cocaine will be consumed in the surrounding zip codes?
Enquiring minds want to know.
I want to know how you’ll be able to tell whether the madness that is South Florida will be able to tell the difference between a win and loss - or care.
The locals don’t give a shit, not even two. It’s the out-of-towners who care. And they’re pretty obvious.
But if your underlying contention is that CrazyTown is, well, Crazy, then yeah. You got me / us. Guilty as charged. But it’s massively fun.
I wrote that right after FAU lost on a buzzer beater.
Do’h! I honestly thought that was the end of the half, not of the game. Which baffled me about the degree of celebrating for what seemed a minor, albeit momentum-enhancing, score.
You can see why I pay little attention to this benighted game.
