NCAA Basketball Tournament Coverage????

[punkmuse]

we just got off the Pearl yesterday and my husband is a HUGE Syracuse fan (Go Orange!) unfortunately for me we tend to go on vacation during March Madness (sigh)

on the Freestyle Dailies they had a few of the games scheduled for viewing in either the Whiksey and Beer bar or the Great Outdoors.

 

in our room we seemed to either get ESPN or ESPN 2 which is international i guess. we never seemed to get both. unfortunately on ESPN 2 they were playing alot of the World Baseball thingy (sorry im not into sports) so bball often got trumped. this of course was the Big East tourney we were looking for and not the NCAA tournament.

he did manage to see the Syracuse vs UCONN game that went into 6 OTs and then the game the next night vs W Virginia but the Big East championship for whatever reason we could not get. the people at both bars did try for us but they seemed to be at mercy as to whatever the tv could get. not sure who decides whether ESPN or ESPN 2 is available but that seemed to be our problem. coudlnt get both at the same time.

 

GO ORANGE! :D

You're right...can't compare to the riveting Canadian national pasttime: CURLING ;).

 

 

Exactly right, didn't think anyone would follow curling since Americans aren't any good at it.

 

The Brier(national championship) was over last weekend and once again a great game and overall a great tournament.

 

However my real passion is hockey!!!

high -scoring ice hockey

 

Is there another kind of Hockey that you have to specify ICE HOCKEY!! :)

 

I suppose you like grass golf or indoor bowling?

 

Maybe you should attend a game of hockey, you might actually enjoy it

 

 

Never tried ice fishing as its not cold enough for us here on the west coast
