Sultan Wow! Every year the NCAA Basketball Tournament gets better. This whole season was a blast right up to the point where my team (the Kansas Jayhawks, of course) was booted last night. Now I am longing for the days of playing the Nebraska Cornhuskers. What was the KU-NU game final score??? 93-39 or something like that?? That almost makes up for the 63-0 scores KU used to endure in football versus NU!
I had a fun time trying to catch all the March Madness games. KU played their last two games at 2:00 am local Saudi time as we are 8 hours ahead of Central Std Time. It wasn't really that hard getting out of bed to watch. The difficult thing is wondering if you will actually get to see it.
I receive satellite TV through a company called Orbit. Orbit broadcasts ESPN but it is a mix of ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN-U, ESPN Classics, ESPN International.......you get the picture. I'll plan to catch a game that is scheduled to air based on Orbit's schedule and sure enough something else will come on instead. One day it will be polo from Argentina, the next day will be horse racing at Santa Anita in Southern California, or sailing races in the Med, or 7 Nations rugby from Australia, so to get ALL the tourney games has been a real treat. I might even get up tonight to see who the last two Final Four teams will be.....
When I have some down time I can watch just about anything they broadcast except for the cricket. I've figured out the scoring and batting rules with the help of Sultan, who is from Bangladesh. However, for those of you who think golf is boring, cricket, in my mind, is not far behind. I am sure it is fun to play, but to watch it on TV is a killer. Sultan and his buddies have recently dropped by asking for the latest World Cricket Championship scores, as it is being played right now. They're as crazy about cricket as I am about NCAA Basketball. More power to them!
