Here's Matt Karo's take on it, from his "Ruminations" column on collegehumor.com:
-I’m just fascinated by med students. For instance, next Thursday is residency program “Match Day,” which is when all fourth-year med students find out where in the country they will be spending the next five years of their lives. (Sounds a little like sorority rush but with neurosurgeons, doesn’t it?) After finding out if and where they matched, our nation’s soon-to-be-doctors proceed to go out and get rip-roaring shit-blasted. But here’s the twist. This year, Match Day falls on the first day of the NCAA Tournament…and St. Patrick’s Day. In other words, it’s an alcoholic perfect storm.
