They no longer call it March madness on demand - it's March Madness live. And it used to be free for as long as I can remember, now they're charging 4 bucks. Sure, it's less than the price of a burrito but... I wonder if this is just a move to get people to watch on their TV's for more advertising eyeballs. Oh well.

Well it's a good thing we're playing at night so I don't have to take a day off from work.

There was a thread on the Cuse board about texting a number to get it free. I tried it and it did not work.

I think you can view the games on the individual station websites. I'll let you know when this next game starts.

Thanks anyway Rob, I already coughed up the 4 bucks. Thought I'd be able to download the android app, but alas it isn't compatible with my Samsung Exhibit II. *shrug*

It is a steal, like I said less than the price of a burrito at one of the lunch trucks in New Haven -- unless you compare it to last year when it was free:).

Oh, I just found this cool thing, you can grab a bit of video and tweet/fb it.

Ok. Well to anyone else who cares you can watch them at each stations website at least in IE. I couldn't do it in Chrome however. It asks you to sign into your Comcast or whatever cable provider you have first.

I thought every red blooded American male took Thursday and Friday off. I haven't worked during the first 2 days of the NCAA tourney in at least 10 years.

Gotta work Thursday, but Friday is an 8:00 am shotgun start for a golf tourney and then Madness all day.

That was a scam. What the text really did was tell Noel to sign with Cuse.

We fought the Cold War to get access to firstrowsports.eu, you might as well use it.

Some day I dream of having a job that allows that...or just retiring. Alas, work for me has quarter-end surges of volume, so March is a very bad month.

Can anyone clarify on the exact code to use?

Put it in quotes so we're not confused.

Text Code works! I just did it. Text "0UConn" to 2653. "0Connecticut" does not work.

I tried working during the first day of the 2008 tourney, my first year in the working world, and realized there was no way it was feasible. I have not worked either the first Thursday or Friday of the tourney since. This year, though, I'm only doing half days off tomorrow and Friday. No need to take full vacation days when I just need half.
