Today?

Yes, today. On the first day of the NCAA tournament.

soundersI am with swamp all-timer wlu_lax on this, the timing is gawdawful. New franchise in Seattle debuts today (welcome back to the Sounders). The good news there is that the locals are pumped.

Now if they could talk the powers-that-be that run the league into, ah, doing something common sensical like debuting the season on a night where the entire country isn’t focused on the start of the most watched sporting event in the country behind the Super Bowl, they would be getting somewhere.

ETA: Another swamp all-timer Buffalo Solider quite rightly points out that ESPN didn’t have TV availability last night, so tonight it is.
