" And if you want to watch a coaching match up of the "ages," you can watch the NIT game between Syracuse and Maryland tonight at 7 on ESPNU, which is NOT on basic Time Warner Cable.
Jim Boeheim vs. Gary Williams, lot of wins between those two.
The game should air on the radio.
The again, does anyone care?
I think so, no matter whether SU is in the NCAAs or the NIT, real Cuse fans will tune in whether it's TV or radio.

" Good news Big Red fans, the Stanford-Cornell game will air Thursday about 5 p.m. on WTVH-5.
The game will only air in the Syracuse, Binghamton and San Francisco TV markets, so if Cornell pulls off the upset, you'll be one of the few to be able to see it.
The first 2 days of the NCAAs to me is some of the best sports TV of the year.
Games from noon to midnight (or even later some times), great action, upsets, drama and moments that truly are "March Madness."
What other sporting event truly touches just about every part of the good ol' USA?
From Washington state to Miami, Fla., from San Diego to Boston, fans have a local team to cheer for.
Enjoy the games.

" With SU relegated to the NIT (and its first game tonight on ESPNU), the Cornell Big Red are the lone CNY team in the NCAAs.
But there may be an issue if you want to see them on WTVH-5.
See, the Big Red are playing out west, in about a 5 p.m. start on Thursday against Stanford.
Usually, CBS doesn't show games in that time slot, because of local news.
So if channel 5 is going to show Cornell, they have to bump local news.
I'll try to find out what WTVH is going to do and update.
If the game isn't shown, it will be available online at http://cbs.sportsline.com/

" Favre--crybaby. Gripping tv? What the hell do you normally watch Chris? He was a pretty good QB--but certainly not top 10 of all time. What's the big deal? Warren Sapp---a better defensive lineman than Favre was a QB-was there any more fanfare than a quick announcement on his website? NO, because he isn't a crybaby. The hawk deserved the golfball upside its beak--it wouldn't shut up . The only funny thing is that it took several shots from the "gold pro" to put it out of its misery. I guess that is why he's making videos instead of earning his money on tour. "

" MAAAAAN! If you didn't watch the Daytona Supercross last night, you missed the race of a lifetime!
The WORST conditions in history--torrential rain, and a track that looked worse than Ithaca Dirt Rider's recent Enduro's during the last couple rainy years!
Ithaca's Paul Carpenter holeshotted the first heat race, finishing 4th against the stars--Reed, Windham, etc--and makes a transfer spot. GOOD JOB PAULY!!
In the main, points-leader Reed led the whole race, battling back and forth with Kevin Windham, in 4-foot mud ruts and 3-foot-deep pools of muddy water, with bikes blowing up and stuck everywhere! On the LAST lap, Reed takes the white flag,--now with a full minutes lead after Windham stalled his bike in the mud, and is just TWO TURNS from the checkered flag, when he fries his clutch and overheats, sitting there, smoking in the mud, dejected, as Windham comes around him and takes the win! WIndham's own bike barely limps over the line, smoking and steaming! WAHOO KEVIN!!
It was the GREATEST supercross race of ALL time!
AND NO STEROIDS!!!!!! "

" Favre's press conference yesterday was gripping TV.
Awesome stuff. He showed why he's a beloved QB.
Classic Favre.
Anyone hear about the golfer, Tripp Isenhour, who nailed a hawk with a golf shot because it was making noise during a TV shoot?
Look for this story to blow up soon.
It won't be Michael Vick huge but it will get a lot of attention once the animal rights groups get a hold of it.
Next week, college hoops tourneys to the nth degree, then March Madness gets underway with games from noon to midnight. "

" Brett Favre retiring?
I'm sure John Madden is in a state of mourning.
Canton, Ohio will be renamed South Green Bay in 2013.
Stay tuned to ESPN and the NFL Network which will be renamed Brett TV. "
