One could argue that last week and this week is potentially the best time of the year for sports. In my opinion no other time of year matches this period, with the amount of sports to be seen and the impact of those sports.
First, it is the beginning of April and everyone (at least everyone here in the midwest) is looking for any excuse for winter to be over. So if it is sunny and 55 degrees, we are running around outside like it is 80.
Second, look at the sporting events you have going on.
The Final Four - Whether you are watching the Men or the Women, this is a great event that people get geared up for. By this time, your brackets are either shot to pieces or your in the running for the cash. Regardless, you get two great games on a Saturday evening and then top it off with the finals on Monday.
Baseball Season Starts - Baseball isn't the king the way it used to be, but there is still plenty of excitement when these guys play on opening day. It is a true sign that summer is right around the corner.
The Masters - Usually, at the beginning of Masters week, is the NCAA finals. You get to wait two days and then arguably the greatest major in golf gets started. Rarely does Augusta not look inviting and waiting to see if Tiger will start his Grand Slam run is always fun.
Most of the time all three of these events happen in the same week. Because of the quirky scheduling this year, it didn't happen, but what a week.
I defy you to give me a better time frame that is better for sports. Something that hits the magnitude that all three of these events have. If you can think of a time frame or just plain agree with me, then go ahead and write on my blog.
