Selection show = joke

Didn't watch a minute of it. Find out everything you need to know from twitter or the internet.

^^^^^^ this is how I shopped for the selection show. Spent time with the family...Google after the fact.

I'm pretty sure once they realized the real bracket leaked they started rushing the unveiling. after the 3rd bracket they stopped doing that stupid thing where they talked about each bracket in depth and had someone pick the winners on a screen. It was pretty funny.

It sure was. And I must say that, with those leaks, CBS and the NCAA got exactly what they deserved.

We live in an information age. To do what they were doing was nothing short of arrogance. Well folks, if you won't give us the info., SOMEONE else will find a way to give it. And apparently did.

I trust next year's show will be back to "get them out there as fast as they can" and before someone else does. There is plenty of time for blather, Charles Barkley, whatever, after the brackets have all been released. Note to CBS: "WE DON'T WATCH THE SELECTION SHOW FOR TALKING HEADS, FOLKS!"

Just like network TV to take something that was good and figure if we double the length of it, we'll get double the ratings!!

Morons. That show really really sucked.

Cue The Who: I Won't Be Fooled Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no way that this got good ratings either. It was a joke to sum it up in one word like the OP did. Why on earth do they have Barkley on there? He admittedly doesn't watch much college ball and is just trying to be funny. Yet we are supposed to take something serious away from him making picks? That would be so much better if they just did a 30 min show on the revealing of it all then have your hours on end guessing game of filling brackets out.

Why on earth do they have Barkley on there?

The NBA guys were involved last year. Did they call some of the games or were they just in the studio throughout? I can't remember what their role was. But the Selection Show was definitely a fail.

Nothing finer then listening to a blowhole like Charles Barkley spout off about how little he knows about college basketball. At least he openly admits it, because the longer he goes the more obvious it becomes.
