Everywhere I go the past couple days, I keep overhearing conversations about the NCAA tournament. People talk about how "their" teams are doing, probably 'cause they filled out a betting bracket.

I don't remember this much chatter about the Super Bowl, other than as a party. And certainly the NBA championships are nothing in comparision.

The SuperBowl and World Series get more media hype. But I think March Madness is the biggest sporting event of the year in terms of public interest.
