    Dear Sirs;

    When airing an NCAA tournament game that very close and is winding down (last few minutes) in regulation, overtime, double overtime, triple overtime, quadriple overtime, fucking spectripular overtime, so on and so forth..........please refrain from cutting away to a game that is just getting started. We, the viewers (ahem, clears throat), would much rather watch the EXCITING ENDING of an EXCITING FUCKING GAME rather than the mundane beginning of another game (did we already mention the mundane beginning part?). This request is rather logical, IMHMFO, and should'nt be too hard to remember but please post this on your forehead for the remainder of the NCAA tournament.

    That was un-frikkin' believable. I've seen some ass-monkey programming choices in sports, but that was an easy top 5.

    I also liked watching the last 2 minutes of the duke blowout much better than the back and forth game between indiana and sdsu.

    if you have digital cable with time warner, you can also check the cbs "occasional expanded" channel (227). sometimes they show a different game than the regular CBS channel.

    i didn't watch the BC-Pacific game, but I did see all of the GW-UNCW game... it only cut away for about 20 seconds for me. and i think that may be the fault of WBTV rather than CBS.

    thanks willy. i got directv and should probably get the ncaa tourney package since i am a stickler for wanting to watch exciting endings and stuff like that. but i was at work, where we also have a dish and we could not beleive it when they cut away from the bc game. then i tuned into 610 am and then 1660 am radio but only got the packman show and his band of characters. nothing. to me, it shouldnt be that big of a problem to discern when to cut away or not.

    exciting ending trumps mundane beginning. how can they fuck that up?

    local mid-major team stomping national power. why leave that game for an uninteresting game out west with no local ties or interest, unless its the last minute or crucial possessions, which was not the case in either?

    dont make sense to me.
