This year the NCAA has is doing something that i have never seen before and am very excited about it. They are broadcasting on more than one station. CBS, TNT, TRUtv (whatever that is) and TBS. All day non stop coverage on 4 stations not to mention watching online where you can pick and switch to any game you want to watch. I can imagine that people that live for reruns of 2 and a half men, everybody loves raymond and whatever they show on TRUtv are pissed, but lets face it, 99% of those people are rooting for Wofford to take down BYU right now.
Another aspect that makes this years tournament a little different for me is that i have no money what so ever riding on any of the games. That is to say that i am not in a money bracket pool. My cousin invited me to be in his office pool (which i have won before and took home a solid purse of around $200.) This year i have paid and exceptionally little amount of time watching college basketball. i watched the 3 games between Wazzu and UW but that is it. I think i may have kicked off the season watch a Gonzaga game against Kansas St (which they lost) but that could easily have been last year. Speaking of Gonzaga, they are whooping on St. Johns right now 28-18 with 10:26 left in the first half (let's hope i just jinxed them....or am i going for the reverse hex???)
One day i will go to Las Vegas for the opening round of the NCAA tournament, take $100 and see what i can turn it into (or how many games it takes to lose it all. Either way, FREE DRINKS!!!)
