Figures.

The one time I want Duke to win easily, they're getting a tough fight so far from #15-seed Belmont.

Belmont had better either: a) fade soon, or b) win. If I miss the whole USC-Kansas State game just to watch Duke pull out a narrow victory, I'm going to be super-annoyed.

Now, to try MMOD...

UPDATE: MMOD is working well, but the USC Trojans are not. They're down 8 with four minutes left in the first half, and -- far more devastatingly -- Taj Gibson just picked up his third foul. When the foul was announced, I said: "That's it, they're going to lose." Argh.

Brendan, you don't have to miss the USC game--you can watch it online for free at CBS. They're broadcasting ALL games live, online for FREE this year. So you can go between USC/Kstate online and Duke on TV. :)

I know, Kristy. I even have MMOD linked at right. :) I was skeptical of how well it would work for us from home, given some trouble I'd had when testing it. But it's actually working great right now, knock on wood.

USC, on the other hand, is sucking hardcore.

PURPLE POWER!! :)

The announcers on the USC game suck.

1) After a play in which USC draws a charging foul: "Someone needs to step in front of him and draw a charge..."

2) They can't keep track of team fouls.
