CBS sux kack...

If you are not at a sportsbar or drunk i suppose...
The coverage the last 4 days was absolutely horrible. T/O's every 5min then when they switch to the game you wanna see it's a commercial break..
And the Wisconsin/Fla St game they switched back over to Ohio St/Sienna as Wisky was goin for the win at the buzzer.
Then with tonights finale, they decide to wait until 40seconds left in both games to switch over with 6min left in the Louisville game.

Yeah CBS i'll be sure stop at the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings in the near future. You've made that point clear...

Annoyed the hell out of me two.

Could have watched one game online, but that would have sucked cause of the 10-15 sec delay. You would see the score from the game on the tv.

That's why you stay at home like a loser on your computer and mute your TV when they update another game and scotch tape a piece of paper to cover the other scores or hang a clothing item over part of your TV.

I feel pathetic typing my intricate and lonely sports watching habits haha.

Yeah Minura i watched online Friday but with the 10-15sec delay you're right; might as well just watch the ticker...
Anyway, it just struck me odd this year..Maybe it was because i wasn't drunk, sitting at my nearest buffalo wild wings bar watching the games...

Re TV

Get direct TV I watched what ever game I wanted to including 4 at one time. Cost $69.00 for the tournament but it was worth it.

good lord whatever you do when you get Directv you will be locked into a MINIMUM 24 month commitment, breaking it starts at $500 and works down the longer you keep it.

the last two years CBS had 4 channels set up on digital cable along with the regular CBS feed. They had one channel for each region. That way you could watch whatever game you wanted. Without them cutting away. I'm not sure why they went away from that. I'm sure there is some advertising reason.

This year the coverage has been a joke...

Mega March Madness package...my first time and I won't watch the tournament any other way again. They gave me a discount ordering both the March Madness package along with the MLB package.

Re comcast

I had it and switched. Was the best move I ever made. I have vertually every sports channel in high def and 3 flat screens. I was in heaven. I almost forgot to bet a few games because I got so entrenched in watching some of the games.

Pete

PS DON'T WAIT SWITCH NOW
