Beat March Madness With March Trivia Facts
I admit when I lived in the frozen north I was not very fond of the month either. It was nearing the end of the interminable winter but spring still seemed so far away and Thalassa Crusso's view is very apt:
"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away." - Thalassa Cruso
However, now that I live further south March brings with it the promise of spring and you can feel the weather change and watch the earth green up. Maybe March is not my favorite month but I've learned to tolerate it and accept it. I view it much more as Emily Dickinson does:
"March is the month of expectation,
The things we do not know,
The Persons of Prognostication
Are coming now."
- Emily Dickinson, XLVIII
Of course here in Kentucky -- where March Madness reaches epidemic proportions -- March is always a "month of expectation" which frequently leads to "a month of considerable frustration."
Whatever your view of the month of March I am sure that learning some fun March trivia facts and answers some fun March trivia questions will improve your mood. After all, who doesn't enjoy fun trivia questions and answers?

I was born in March, so the month reminds me that I'm growing older. Plus, the weather in March tends to suck.

When March Went Mad
The Game That Transformed Basketball
In the national bestseller When March Went Mad, Seth Davis recounts the dramatic story of the season leading up to that game, as Johnson's Michigan State Spartans and Bird's Indiana State Sycamores overcame long odds and great doubts to reach the game's grandest stage. Davis also tells the stories of their remarkable coaches, Jud Heathcote and Bill Hodges, and he shows how tensions over race and class heightened the drama of the competition.
