I think Game 7's are any sports fan's dream, but there's no guarantee of ever getting there... these first 2 days are a guaranteed thrill ride that you can pencil in months in advance. This is actually the first time in 4 years i havent taken off these days from work (fired up about that haha) and just sat in my recliner for 13 hours with the most labor of the day being a walk to the refrigerator or restroom. For me, the only other sure thing that i can circle on the calendar thats even in the same universe as the opening round of March Madness is the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs (also Wild Card Round). You get 2 great games on Saturday and Sunday and there's always drama. I agree with Sam, yesterday and today are the greatest days of the year in sports that you can circle on the calendar.
