But ESPN is ready to shove college hoops down your throat.
My mouth is agape.
If I had a job that would afford me to do it, I’d attempt to liveblog this marathon of roundball goodness for you. Instead, I’m going to have to pick and choose what games I’ll be able to watch. (Honestly, what’s cooler than that 4 a.m. tip between Idaho State and Hawaii?)
This is a great idea by ESPN, and I’m kind of shocked they opted to do it. (We are reaching peak NFL time, you know.) The marathon gets going tonight at midnight.
