Drama-Free: The Real Problem With The New NCAA Selection Show
There was a ton of shit wrong with the newly-formatted NCAA Selection Show: the sound to start the program, the fact that it was on TBS, and the drama that was totally sucked out of the best day in sports.
Just a side note, the sound had me fuckin’ with my TV for like 10 minutes. Couldn’t figure that shit out, especially since the Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart movie right before — talk about an Oscar snub — had fucked up sound too. Definitely happy it wasn’t just on my end.
So yeah, the drama.
The drama only comes when the matchup is released at the same time — that’s when the teams go truly apeshit. When some bubble team is sitting in the private room at Ruby Tuesday’s and hears their name called the first time, that’s it. You only get one shot at a reaction. If they’ve known for 30 minutes that they’re in, then hear who they’ve gotta play, shit just isn’t the same.
The worst part is that they knew and thought team’s would buy-in anyway.
TBS has a camera here, so you will see Auburn's reaction live on your televisions. People here are being instructed to celebrate twice: Once after Auburn's name is announce (alphabetically), and again after the seed/matchup is announced.
