I think I remember when that tradition stopped.

I seem to remember reading about it in a newspaper on my grandmothers porch in 1983. Everything in that sentence is long gone.

That used to be a tremendously fun few days. Final Four on Saturday. WrestleMania on Sunday. NCAA championship game and Opening Day on Monday. Masters starts that Thursday.
