How To Survive March Madness

I am going to conjugate a verb, Dizzy Dean style. There are a few of us still around who remember the late Dizzy Dean, a Hall of Fame pitcher, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals many, many years ago.

The Dizz became a baseball commentator after his career ended, and he spoke Dizz’s English. An example of how Dizzy conjugated a verb is: slide-slid-slud. Not exactly what a school teacher would advocate, but it worked on the air.

So for me it would be: spring-sprang-sprung. Spring has sprung for me when the NCAA basketball brackets for March Madness have been announced. They were sprang on us late Sunday afternoon, after all, the end of season tournaments were over.

I was particularly interested in the Big East and ACC Tournaments. To win the Big East you have to win 4 games in as many days. The upset winner, unranked Syracuse, beat Notre Dame and then #1 Connecticut, #23 Georgetown, and then #16 Pittsburgh. Congratulations to the kids from Syracuse. They played with an indomitable spirit.

But I gotta tell ya, their dogs have to be barking today. I’d be willing to bet that there are a lot of aches and pains on that ball club. I’d be willing to bet that the energy level is about Zero today. Those kids could use some Instant Endurance today and the Hercules Factor tonight before they go to sleep.

Monday, wake up and repeat.

Tuesday, wake up and repeat.

You get the idea.

When you are burning energy like James Brown at a concert in the 60’s, you need something to help you restore some of what you lost, and quickly.

Instant Endurance and the Hercules Factor would have these young men ready to rock in a day or two. They’re my sentimental favorite in the tournament. It’s too early to say I’d be laying some greenbacks on them to win, but it’s the right time to be playing your best ball.

When spring is sprang, a whole lot of people start doing spring cleaning and working in their yards and gardens. Too many over do it right out of the gate, and try to do too much, too soon. A little Instant Endurance beforehand can certainly help; and before you go to sleep, a little Hercules Factor will work its magic while you are sleeping. It’s a little like putting premium gasoline in your car before driving, and then having a tune up while you rest. When the key hits the ignition the next morning, you’re off on a very smooth and fast ride.

I’ll give you my picks for the Final Four in a day or two, and maybe some surprise winners.

You can’t go wrong with two proven winners, Instant Endurance, and the Hercules Factor. They are always coming out on top, no matter what the competition.

All the best,


Doc
