Don't say anything at all
Alright, the NCAA tournament is upon us.

Starting next year, the Turner games should have simulcasts on broadcast stations in markets with a rooting interest in the participating teams.

Affiliates of The CW, as a joint venture between the two media companies which share broadcast rights to the tournament, would have right of first refusal, with other stations (prioritizing non-CBS stations co-owned with CW stations, and non-CW stations co-owned with CBS stations) being able to air games if simultaneous games on Turner's side feature teams of local interest.

In Zanesville, Ohio, the only market without an over-the-air CBS affiliate, the one local station that does exist, NBC affiliate WHIZ-TV, would also be eligible to air CBS games featuring the Ohio State Buckeyes or Ohio Bobcats.

To avoid ratings damage from affiliate pre-emptions, The CW would not air any first-run episodes on nights Turner networks are scheduled to air tournament games, only expendable repeats.

As a Michigan fan I knew they were more than capable of pulling the upset. However, after losing their PG right before the tournament and Dickerson's status still kinda sketchy, I was directing people towards Colorado State.

Glad I was wrong.

Darn, bad foul by South Dakota State on a Providence three point attempt basically sealed the loss for them. Too bad, like rooting for MVC schools (even though they're only in that conference in football).

What a weird year for my alma mater, Alabama. Even filling out my bracket, I think about this Bama team beating Gonzaga, Baylor, Tennessee, and Houston this year, almost taking it to Auburn and Kentucky, and I have hope.

Then I think about losing to Georgia (their only SEC win), losing to Iona, getting spanked by Memphis, and I'm left with this feeling of indecision.

But since we didn't win a game in the SEC tourney, I have us beating the Irish and then losing to TT.

Whatever, RTR.
