(614) March Madness Edition

It is indeed time again for brackets, basketball, and bets. And as John Oliver said on Last Week Tonight, “Yes, March is on! F*ck you February, and April I’ll see you in hell. It’s March o’clock a**holes.” And Columbus is getting in on the action. Well, aside from the fact that we’re cheering on our own Buckeyes, we’re also making it easy(ish) for others to do the same.

Second round games start today, so make sure to check your local listings for who’s playing when. (deb)
