There are no cynics in March Madness foxholes because Cinderella stories and dozens of nail-biting games packed with emotion tend to allow people a unique opportunity to just give in to the absurdity. It's tough not to feel something when One Shining Moment plays after the final nets are snipped away, even if it's that you've wasted three consecutive weekends doing nothing but watch television and monitor your wagers.
