Hey, CBS, would you mind getting back to the DAVIDSON game?
I really, really hate this.
Davidson is apparently staging a big comeback against Georgetown, and I'm not seeing it.
After showing the first half from Raleigh, CBS seems to have decided I'd rather see a couple of other games.
And not just on its primary channel but on ALL THREE channels available. All are showing Tennessee-Butler.
Now that's a good game, but if I wanted to watch it, I wouldn't need more than one channel.
I mean, what's the point of having three channels if they're all carrying the same game?
And what's the reason for showing the first half of Davidson-Georgetown if CBS isn't going to give me the second half?
I'm steamed, and I know I'll REALLY be ticked when CBS does the same thing to me during the Carolina game later this afternoon.
Update: Finally, with about 5 minutes to go CBS returns in time for us to see Davidson take the lead behind an unbelievable performance by Stephen Curry ... then cuts away again with the promise to "get you back when the action heats up." Heats up? What do they want, thermonuclear meltdown?
Update: Congratulations, Davidson. Coming from 17 down in the second half to win over 2-seed Georgetown, 74-70. Impressive.
Too bad CBS didn't show most of that second half.
I'm keeping my radio nearby for the Carolina game. Woody won't leave me stranded.
Update: Inside Higher Ed picks Davidson to win it all ... in athletic/academic performance.

I am really steam and upset that CBS is showing the results of the international Bowling finals in Sidney instead of the Davidson comeback in the final moments.* paraphasing Doug
Dear Mr Clark!
As the program director of CBS sports, we couldn't care less about a Sunday afternoon journalist losing his cool about a 3 rd rate North Carolina college. Our marketing research shows that Davidson attacts only 0.0011 % of the market share in the world for comsumer poducts. If you weren't so dang cheap, you could have bought games tickets to our outstanding media company.
In short! If you try this again! We will take the Direct TV Bimp next week to the Tennessee and Davidson game and put on the side of the Bimp, "Doug Clark is a phony and cheap fan for Davidson and he can't even hickhike to Texas"
Yours,
Billy Packer
ps.....don't you even think about asking me for free tickets to a Wake Forest home game

That actually sounds like it was written by the program director for CBS.

I can't believe CBS has this guy on the payroll and running the show* paraphasing Doug
Neither can the Charlotte Madame! You really don't think that Charlotte was the last choice for next week's event at Bobcat arena for nothing do you?
