I honestly don't understand why it's a big deal. The song itself is horrible.I hate "One Shining Moment".
Come at me.

I hate how it becomes about the coaches and not the players. I've already heard reference about our team not being as "talented" as others, and how Pitino overachieved. I don't need to mention all of the honors our players have received. Obviously Pitino did a great job, but c'mon.
It sucks to constantly hear how great Izzo, Williams, Self, Coach K (seriously I'm not going to look up the spelling of that corpses name), and Calipari are. Clearly they're good coaches, but considering it's the players who have to actually defend and make plays, I wish the conversation centered more around them (and not just the players from the blue bloods).
It's a minor gripe, but it's exhausting being subjected to the constant celebrating of these coaches.
Dickie V sucking up to Puke.
Totally agree. The hype of the college hoops power coach is nauseating.

It appears I wasn't clear. I wasn't complaining about the 4 separate channels. I was complaining about the loss of the "mix" channel.Wow. That is definitely the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about the 4 channel format.
Yep.Totally agree! That was the best part of 10-15 years ago... it was better than BREAKING NEWS!!
"AND WE TAKE YOU TO CHARLOTTE..."
I bet that channel would get pretty good ratings. And the other 4 would do just fine as well. Everybody wins! I'm guessing one of the 500 channels I have would be willing to do this.Solution: A 5th channel that is like the pre-TBS/TruTV days. The mix. Only needed on the first weekend. I want it back!!
vs Georgia Tech, I believe!!Agreed in college football they have like 20 different channels for the title game, if people are willing to watch coachess breakdown the film of each play I am sure there's a market for what you're suggesting. The only thing that sucked about that era was when the Gophers were in it and it would cut away from there game.

Yep.
And for the others that don't see it this way (to each his own), if you popped a blood vessel before you read it, here is what I suggested as the solution:

That took courage.
I'm not so hot on it myself. Dated, just like the early 80's disco version of the Minnesota Twins song that they just don't seem to be able to move on from.
That's one drawback of four TV channels for the first weekend. 60 Minutes at 6 PM Sunday night no longer needs to be protected at all costs.I am most displeased with the horrifically long Sunday on the first weekend. It seems like the last games are getting over about 10:00 on Sunday night. Too long. Run a few more concurrently and allow the people at the games to get home and get back to work.
Pretty small potatoes as far as issues go. It's a great event and by and large well run, despite the incessant whining by the media on behalf of teams who got "shafted" by seeding, etc.
You better not be talking about "Win Twins, Win" by Slave Raider! All to AC/DC's TNT!!
The alternate version (whoever sings it) is terrible.
The Luther Vandross one? Shut your dirty mouth. The man and the song were/are both national treasures.
No, nor am I talking about The Hold Steady's "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."
I hate the play-in games! Period. Drop four more teams from the dance, it's not like they are going to drop an eventual winner.
Let the conference Champs have their shot at the Big Boys and then move on. If you have to keep it at 68, Then make it the last four teams in and call it Bubbleicous Tuesday. Or Blow-pop Tuesday!
Make those guys earn it and let the conference Champs in the first round.
Wow. That is definitely the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about the 4 channel format.
I hate that they went to 4 separate channels. My favorite two days of the year - while still great - are not what they were when it was one channel. Literally sometimes alternating between two or three games coming down to the wire. When I don't have a strong interest in any particular game, I don't want to do the switching back-and-forth. I want it done for me, like the old days! Do I like the separate channels sometimes? Of course. Solution: A 5th channel that is like the pre-TBS/TruTV days. The mix. Only needed on the first weekend. I want it back!!
Things I hate are 20 minute halftimes (up from 15 during reg season) and 2 min 30 sec commercial breaks (up from 2 minutes during the reg season).

I kid you not, it throws off my circadian rhythm.
