Madness Withdrawl
Can’t think of any other way to express my utter despair at the lack of coverage of my beloved NCAA basketball tourney than to share it with you (and anyone else who will listen to be babble about it). An ESPN update once every two or three days simply doesn’t cut it.
On top of the lack of media coverage over here, the complete disinterest from any/all Australians is extraordinarily dissapointing. As you may or may not know, the US is one of if not the only county in the world that has big time COLLEGE athletics.
If I have to watch one more cricket match (or is it test) rugby league/rugby union (i don’t know the difference) I’m going to do something drastic.
do they sell portable, individual satellite dishes that I can attach to my backpack? had to get it off my chest:)

It was an unbelievable year too!
And finally, something you can envious US about for a change!
In case you missed it Idaho did not make it to the tournament this year.
Washington, Montana, Nevada, Utah St., and Gonzaga made it, but no Idaho.
sorry to be the one that broke it to you. Keep your head up.
and how many times have you heard grumbling about the World Series or World Champions (superbowl) and the US is the only country competing?
We were in a restaurant two weeks ago, some brits, who were in town (paris) for the big rugby match, were sitting at the next table. After awhile, they turned and started talking to us about how screwed up american sports are. they were in the US during either a big tournament or the world cup and the TV only reported on the US team. they ranted some more about our “World” designations in tournaments, etc., blah, blah, blah.
I’ve been lambasted about this on several occasions, and mind you, the fellows we’re meeting aren’t your most sports-oriented types.
