His father was 58-years-old.




He died on the first day of March Madness, the tournament that began in '85.



 Don't call it a coincidence.

And to make a point about 58...

This death came on the Spring Equinox, what used to be the New Year.








And notice the father died 9-months and 2-days before the start date of the tournament.




From Florida State's win in the round of 32, to his upcoming birth is 88-days.




Florida State picked up their 29th win of the season in that game.

  2. No march madness started in Illinois through a high school state tournament around 1908 and around 1982 that is where college basketball started to pick up the name not 1985 https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2004/03/why-is-it-called-march-madness.html
