Toreros!

Noun, plural of to-re-ro.

Spanish, from Late Latin taurārius, from Latin taurus.

1. A bullfighter, esp. a matador.

2. A matador or one of the supporting team during a bull fight.

3. The University of San Diego men's basketball team, my brother's alma mater and champions of the West Coast Conference (aka the Catholic League + Pepperdine), who just knocked off Connecticut, one of the beasts of the Big East, on a last-second shot in overtime of an opening round game of the NCAA Tournament.

Madness indeed!
