Grant Wahl, in Sports Illustrated, shares a thought on how long the war in Iraq has dragged on while writing about his first impressions from Day One of this year's NCAA basketball tournament.
"I've always connected the start of the Iraq War with the 2003 NCAA tournament, and it gives you some perspective on how long the war has lasted that I can't imagine a single player from that 2003 tournament is still in college basketball."
Well, Grant, it has been five years since the invasion of Iraq began.
These days, most athletes don't seem to stay in college more than three years, even if they get hurt and have to miss most or all of a season.
