Do you know what channel TruTV is on?

Surprisingly, Verizon FIOS has just added TruTV in HD (I wish after the tournament, they axe this and put in Fox Soccer Channel in HD instead) so I could watch all games in HD, if I were home.  And for once, iPhone has a leg up on Android as the March Madness on Demand app is only available for iPx products.

As for the pool, we have 15 entries from 12 people at the end of Monday, which is ahead of last year’s pace.  But this year, the dour economy may be taking its toll as all 12 people are previous entrants.  Keep spreading the word!

The First Four for Charity now has 17 entries, so thanks!  The deadline is 3:30 PM PDT so if you haven’t had time to submit a simple email or comment on any of these posts, do so!  Here are the entries thus far after the jump: Continue reading »

Opening Round Game…. in Audio

I can’t believe the NCAA March Madness on Demand (MMOD) only has audio for this game. Yet another reason that this game is not really part of the NCAA tournament and why expanding past 65 teams will just make those teams also not part of it.

I’m interested because it would be cool if Ark-Pine Bluff makes it.  Winthrop played in the first-ever Opening Round (i.e., Play-In) game in 2001 and lost but has been to the real part of the tournament seven other times.

Halfway Done, Just Like Memphis

I will say I am impressed at the quality of video on March Madness on Demand. I bet if I had FIOS it’d be even smoother. And they didn’t black out the game being played on local TV like they usually do. I am not impressed with Memphis and hopefully this’ll be the wake-up call for them or it’ll be a short tournament for them. Baby Ouija went 0-3 to start but finished the first half of the day 5-0. There were 30 @ 3-0, 21 @ 7-0, and now 19 @ 8-0 (16 pts). There are 4 tied for last at 4-4 (8 pts).

You can now view everyone’s picks, the individual choice listing, and team choice distribution.  Note all of this is unofficial.  After the weekend, everything is official and we can break down the prize distribution.
