FORD's March Madness 2014 Thread

[FORD]

Still have time to post your bracket, Kristy. They get locked down at Thursday, March 20th at 12:30pm ET

Now.... if I can only remember what the fuck I did with my Arizona Wildcats shirt.......

[Fairwrning]

Apparently I didnt submit my bracket..shit

[TFM_Dale]

Dayton knocks off the suckeyes, my bracket is still intact

[Never was]

I had Dayton too, for them Ohio St. is their championship game.

[TFM_Dale]

Was a good game, Dayton is my favorite team right now

[Never was]

Dale I see we both were homers picking Michigan and UVA for me. (Notre Dame apparently stopped playing basketball in November or at least they should have)

[TFM_Dale]

Had to go with Michigan, they have a shot if they play some D, if not they could get blasted by those duke fuckers.

[Satan]

God damn... Duke and Ohio State both out in the first round??

Never saw that shit coming. Actually I had the fuckeyes in my final 4

(Or would have, if I had remembered to post my bracket in time. For some reason, it's hard to get to the ESPN website from Hell)

When you get rid of your cable TV subscription, half the fun of watching March Madness is hunting around on XBMC for a decent quality video stream to watch the games. There's something called USTVNow which does a passable job on network TV channels, so I've been watching the CBS games more than anything else. But their coverage ended early today, and I had to find the Arizona vs Gonzaga game on TBS.

Found the stream, and it wasn't until all these strange commercials came on the screen that I realized this stream was actually coming from the UK version of ESPN.

Here's the weird part - the stream is better quality than the US streams I have been watching!

Just more evidence that the cable monopolies in this country are fucking up the internet. I'm getting my live video from the foreigners whenever possible now!

BTW.... question for our British friends (if any happen to read this thread).....

What the Hell is up with the "Brian the talking robot" commercials anyway?

Is he your version of the Geico lizard?

As corrupt as things are in this country now I wouldn't be surprised the mob paid off the teams to take a dive so they could make better odds on their bets.

The irony of where TV streams come from just got even weirder than watching via British TV.....

I just installed an XBMC plugin that gives me great quality streams of the Pac12 sports channels (based on the West Coast of the US). I'm not sure where the stream itself originates, but the guy who built the plugin is in fucking Bangkok.

Yeah, as in Thailand. (Is there any other Bangkok??)

Unfortunately, they aren't carrying the March Madness games, but it will be a good thing to have when football season comes around.... Go DAWGS!!

The fucking refs gave that WSU game to Kenfucky! Calipari the crook probably paid them off!

I hope it's a MSU vs Michigan final! That would kick ass!
