I love Cinderella Stories.

There are so many of them and so many people think they are just fairy tales.

For those of you that don't know; I LOVE college sports. I have been watching the NCAA basketball tournaments like it's the best thing I've ever seen on TV. To watch so many underdogs win these games has been AMAZING. Lastnight University of Northern Iowa (who is in my college's conference) beat the number one overall Kansas. If that's not a David v. Goliath Cinderella story then I don't know what is.

How someone can't be inspired by watching these games is beyond me. Just watching these games makes me think of all the underdogs that have overcame and how they were able to fight back just really gets me going. (I sound like a sport's nerd now.) Think about it. How many times have we been told that fairy tales are just that, tales that don't come true? If a little old school like Northern Iowa can beat out a big, high-ranked school like Ku, then why can't we all acheive our big dreams?

It's a small little note. I know. But Gonzaga is about to play Syracuse and I need to concentrate!
