oh, thats cuz brackets closed thursday am...and uh.."...The Rock Chalk Chant is perhaps the most distinctive cheer in all of college sports.

Rock Chalk! (By the way, when we tell our dog that, she reaches up her paw and gives a "high five." Yup, she's THAT cool.)

I'm always surprised that people have the energy to jump into the air after running!

As an alumnus of Indiana "One and Done" University, you have my utmost sympathy. March Madness can be a painful time.
