Madness
Mad”ness\, n. [From Mad, a.]
1. The condition of being mad; insanity; lunacy.
2. Frenzy; ungovernable rage; extreme folly.
– Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary
The arrival of March signals the long-awaited thawing of winter’s ice and snow. Birds begin to chirp, buds sprout and gentle spring colors lighten the landscape. As the saying goes: “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb”.
In the midst of all this gentleness lurks a recurring madness that blows in with March and builds to a frenetic conclusion in the final weeks of the month. This seasonal insanity is aptly called “March Madness”; among its symptoms are the strong growing weak, the weak growing strong, and constant talk of Cinderella.
The treatments for “March Madness” involve bracket busting, pulse-pounding overtimes and a healthy dose of J&O Fabrics’ college team cotton, fleece, vinyl and ribbon. Let’s take a look around the country to see the winners of the past weekend’s conference tournaments, otherwise known as the “Madness’s” preliminary stages.
