ESPN 24 hours of CBB

Postby Mitch McConnell » Tue Nov 15, 2011 12:02 pm

I forgot it started today (11/15). Watching Kent State at West Virginia.

And the good news: the great Bill Raftery is back for another season. I love him.

Kent State and West Virginia? Really?

Is there no drying paint that needs to be watched?

I'll watch any college basketball, and those are good programs. Memphis just whacked Belmont & Baylor is up next. This is glorious

The best news? The NBA season is imploding. If I had it my way, the NBA would disappear -- altogether.

Your way would really suck. And I'm pretty sure a city that has sold out 415 consecutive games, longest streak in the NBA, might disagree with you too.

Well, when the NBA decides that it wants to play the game and officiate the game honestly, let me know.

I feel bad for the charities and the people who are affected by this. But this is simply about greed. When you read on a crawl that the players can't accept a 50-50 split and some idiot representative throws out the race and slavery cards, that tells you how much these guys don't "get it".

I look at the NBA as a fart in the wind. I could have given a Rat's butt that the Mavericks won the NBA championship.

I didn't see this game but I know Kent St is a good team. Wouldn't be surprised to see them in the tourney. btw, they beat WV.

I will miss the NBA, right around mid March Madness, last several weeks of the regular season. Its a pretty awful regular season product, but may be the best postseason going. I'm sure hockey is good as well. but in case no one knew, that game is played on ice.

No one knew because it's played on something called Versus and they have the worst commissioner in all of major sports.

I called in sick to work today, bad case of the sniffles. Today was almost as good as the first day of March Madness. Watching Duke and Michigan State now, but will be switching back and forth with Florida and Ohio State when they tipoff. Christmas/March Madness came early this year.

I've caught a good number of the games today.
This is one of the rare ESPN gimmicks I really enjoy.
