Trojan Horse and the 5 Month College Hoops Journey

Odysseus and the Trojan Horse takes place during the war between the Greeks and the Trojans. Odysseus devises a plan to help the Greek Army secretly invade Troy and win the war. They construct a wooden horse in which almost all of the army hides inside. Then, Odysseus sends one man out claiming to be a Greek "traitor" in order to convince the leaders of Troy that the wooden horse is a gift and that they should bring it in to celebrate. Of course, as we know, this is nothing but a lie as the Greek Army goes on to kill off the whole army after getting into the confines of the city walls.

Now, my dream journey is not as gruesome as the tale of the Trojan Horse. However, its level of "epicness" rivals that of Odysseus's plan. As a lot of people know, the college basketball season is a part of American society that is most prevalent during the 5 month period beginning with November and culminating in what we fanatics like to call "March Madness". My dream journey, as a diehard sports fan, would be to go on a 5 College Hoops tour all across the country. I would see at least one live game a day and be on the road or in the air for 150+ consecutive days. I'd go to New York, Florida, California, heck, even South Dakota! And trust me, those boys at South Dakota State can play (I'm looking at you Nate Wolters and your 22.3 PPG). I'd definitely rack up some Sky Miles and Points on my SpeedyRewards Card, and afterwards some desperate writer at Sports Illustrated would write a book about my journey because all he normally does is try to turn winning programs into scandalous and shameful institutions and gets rewarded with Pulitzers as far as the eye can see. (I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING AT YOU GEORGE DOHRMANN). Enough with my ranting. As you can see I get kind of passionate about this stuff. They don't call it March Madness for nothing.
