Empire State Of Green? (On Tap 121)

Whew...twas' a fun couple of days in Brooklyn, Brooklyn!

Allo Hello people of the interwebs! It is yours truly back here on Moternative after partaking in a very entertaining weekend up North to say the very least.

For a couple of days, myself and some pretty rambunctious Rams from Ram Nation went up to New York to cheer on our boys in this year's Atlantic 10 tournament in the jaw-dropping Barclays Center up in Brooklyn.

So Pretty. Even Prettier On The Inside.

This year's tournament was definitely worth the price of admission as emotions were high, tempers flared on the sidelines and every team literally had a shot in hoisting up the trophy in celebration as this year's champion of the conference. Unfortunately for us as fans of the Rams, we came up short on Championship Sunday and Saint Joesph's were able to hold off HAVOC! just enough to get the win in a very physical contest in the A-10 finale.

Womp. Womp.

Indeed...I did let out a long, hard SIGH....after the final buzzer rang and the fireworks went off from the skies (wait...fireworks?!?! Yup.) as Saint Joesph's ran to center court realizing their bubble worries were over as they punched their ticket to the NCAA tournament; so did the Rams.

Womp...Wha???

Yup! VCU had a very special season this year and earned a 5th seed in this year's March Madness! Not going to lie...it was weird making the trip up 95 to the Empire State knowing regardless of what happens, VCU will be in; I blame the dramatic yet thrilling CAA days of ours haha. Speaking of March Madness...the Atlantic 10 will be represented well as SIX teams got their tickets punched to the dance. It's not so bad being a mid-major after all huh?

Along with getting my March college basketball fix before the main NCAA course tipped-off I also enjoyed chattering with Ram fans all over, having fun with the misses and friends being stupid from beer hall to beer hall, and speaking of beer...had a few boots.

Well maybe more than a few...

Oh yea...and re-introduced myself to NY Bagels. Gahhhh! So Good!

All and all it was an awesome weekend and a great way to ring in St. Patrick's Day! Which is today. Which is on Monday. So you have no excuses as to why Monday will not be an awesome one! Unless you don't partake in the downing of green beer...sad face...still even without the green beer on the table, today is going to be an awesome day if you let it.

And stop being so stressed out over stuff. You're awesome. I know I'm awesome. And awesomeness doesn't let hatred and all this snow/rain mixture falling around here ruin an awesome day in the making.

Speaking of which...I probably should clock in and get this work started. Tolls are expensive haha.

Today's Question: You have 24 hours. What are you going to do to make the time worth having?
