CBS can suck my left nut

Kudos to you Greg Kellogg , says UNCW is the biggest surprise of the day! That other asshole beside Greg acted like he could not even pronounce Wilmington...

 

I'd have to agree, in fact I'll go a step farther, the switching all day was terrible. In Raleigh at least it seemed that whenever a switch was made that the teams would walk off to time out. Instead of switching to another game, we'd get a commercial. I'm a huge Duke fan, but I wanted to see the UNCW upset more than anything. Never saw a glimpse of the game here. The worst however had to be them taking us to the Duke game, then breaking for commercial. When the feed came back Winthrop was leading 2-0. We didn't even get the whole game here. God forbid we switch to a semi-local team pulling the biggest upset all day in overtime. You can't have it both ways CBS. Either you show the WHOLE Duke game (I missed 6% of Wintrop's points), or you switch out when the game is 37 to 11 and there is an overtime game available. Don't feed me the crap that we are sticking to the local game, you already made me miss the first full minute because of commercial. Overall I thought CBS coverage was a bit subpar compared to years past, although it must be difficult to organize all the switching. Like I said before, whenever some mensa thought us worthy of a switch, it seemed that game was going to TO giving us more commercials.

To top off all things tourney, some dude flew a plane into WRAL's broadcasting tower leading to news for well over an hour during tourney time. Thank God I had a hacked Direct TV downstairs, but many others in the Raleigh area were not so lucky. Let's hope tommorrow offers better coverage than today did.

Go Duke!

 

Sorry Sand, that's Clark Kellogg - the other guy is Greg Gumbel

 

Was I drinking last night?

 

Sand, congrats on the BIG win! As a Duke fan, I was also going crazy - WHY was Duke on? I took off from the TV for the PC and my wife couldn't figure it out...

I was "watching" the scores on ESPN and MSNBC and CBSSportsline (ESPN was MUCH quicker with updates).

Sorry about not being able to watch the game...

(fiendish laugh/cackle)...

Ah, the fix is officially "in"...since no one could watch the USC/UNCW game, they don't know that DUKE secretly switched the University of Southern California, for the University of Souteast Cleveland...

I smell Final Four...

 

Just be gentle with me, if my Seahawks face Duke in a few more games - be humble, I'd be.

 

I'm with you. I've hated it since the VERY FIRST DAY that CBS got the rights to the games on Thursday and Friday. When ESPN used to do it, you didn't miss SHIT! Period. I don't care if you live in Cameron and the Duke game was on - they'd switch it to the end of a game that was more exciting. CBS rarely does this. Simply worthless.

 

P.S. I have to admit that living here in MD I did get to see the UNCW-USC finish (from about 1:30 left in regulation. How UNCW recovered to win in OT I'll never know...

 

well, since we are talking about cbs and nice stuff like that, i thought i'd bring something up. Last year, as duke won, we had to hear the conspiracy theories that went along with it, such as they only show duke replays and so on and so on. So last night, i noticed something during the duke/winthrop game. The little scoreboard in the right hand corner said....


WIN
DUKE

 

Not sure what youre talking about WYDD... I hate Duke, but I also know they are a great team, I don't take that away from them. I don't think they win due to a conspiracy theory... Most of what I have read though does rate their bracket the easiest... but surely you would agree, showing Duke with a 10-20-30 plus point lead when there is a game going into overtime, and the close Kansas game... was not what most sports fans wanted to see...
