March Madness battles rage! My family and I join millions of Americans enjoying college basketball’s finest through March Madness. Underdogs always get my vote as we watch intense competition bring out the best in these accomplished teams.
The Final Four is an intense, contested series (kind of like a heated, competitive primary election), so best of luck to all teams, and watch for this principle lived out: the team that wins is the team that wants it more.
To the teams that desire making it this far next year: Gear up! In the battle, set your sights on next season’s targets! From the shot across the bow – the first second’s tip-off – your leaders will be in the enemy’s crosshairs, so you must execute strong defensive tactics. You won’t win only playing defense, so get on offense! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons – your Big Guns – to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win.
Focus on the goal and fight for it. If the gate is closed, go over the fence. If the fence is too high, pole vault in. If that doesn’t work, parachute in. If the other side tries to push back, your attitude should be “go for it.” Get in their faces and argue with them. (Sound familiar?!) Every possession is a battle; you’ll only win the war if you’ve picked your battles wisely. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!

Is this funny? Maybe... but to the people who see her as a leader ... they take this kind of stuff to heart. They take this kind of Cutesy wording and give it a deeper, more serious and scary meaning. It's a call to arms. It's a call to fight. It's saying that aggression is good
This post is not about Basketball.... and anyone who thinks it is... well...
To those people on the receiving end of the hatred and aggression you spawn... it's not cute or funny Sara.... but it does show that being flippant and mocking is your best asset.
Violence that is being fueled by your attempt at humor is not funny. And if there were actual word police... you'd be in jail for the rest of your life.
