Friday's schedule of games in Little Rock begins with the Miami-Saint Mary's match up at 11:30 a.m. Central. The Texas-Austin Peay game will begin 30 minutes following the conclusion of that game, at roughly 2:00 p.m. If you haven't yet made your plans to leave work early, start now.

Going above & beyond

So that many folks won't have to skip out of the office early for the game, I have pulled the necessary strings to get this Friday approved as a national holiday. Hopefully it will be a Good day for a win.

Disclaimer: I may be wrong.

Cant wait for the madness...

My company has Friday off (Good!), then I already took next Friday and Monday off to drive to Houston for the regional with tickets in hand purchased in December.

I dont know what Im more excited about, 3 4-day weeks in a row, or all the basketball.

Despite not having a day off since New Years thus far, I think I will have to go with the Bball.

I guess I should be thankful

That I own a sports shop and I have a HDTV big screen that always has to be tuned to some sports channel. I hope my customers dont mind a little enthusiasm on my part! hahaha

Yeah I have a DirecTV dish on the roof

So I have the March Madness package from CBS.

Nice

I will be on a plane to LA, unfortunately, so I think all I will get is the cbs.com highlights of the first round.

Where is you sports shop?

So at the moment I am checking in Big 12 Champ Locker Room Tees and Caps for KU. That about makes me wanna puke!!!!

I bet there would be a strong correlation

If you overlaid that map with a population density map.

Very True

I couldn't agree more.. with the possible obvious exception of the state of Florida this year... a down year for them.

anyone know

how CBS is determining which game will be shown? I am unfortunately in OK, Tulsa market, and DishNetwork shows the Tulsa CBS station with a game at 2:00 but gives all game choices. Do they show by region? I hope like hell our game is shown because I haven't missed one YET!!!!!! Have I mentioned lately how much I love it here?

OU SUCKS!

I don't know why

they make these maps ridiculously hard to find, but a 10 minute google search and I found Thursday's maps, but not Friday's.
If you have DirectTV you can purchase the March Madness Package to make sure you get the game.
Or you can watch on the internet.
Or there is alway finding a sports bar that has the package.

sports bar???

out in BFE???? Besides, I am a Texas fan in Oklahoma... wouldn't wanna go there, even if there were one around and besides I'm female what would I get tore off???:) Where did you find the map for Thursday? More than likely my area will show same region on friday? I don't have DTV I have Dishnetwork.. Thanks Wells..

Dishnetwork

has their programming guide online and it's showing which games are airing on CBS channels as of today. In case anyone else out there was trying to find out..
