As March Madness approches, college students, alumni and fans alike prepare for another year of intense match ups. 64 teams of Division 1 basketball are about to square off to determine who the #1 team in the nation is. This is the time of year when basketball becomes more abundant on ESPN and the coverage shits from football to college basketball followed by the NBA playoffs. I grew up in an area in North Dakota where you are surounded by fanatics of Duke, UNC, NC State, Wake Forrest and UNC Charlotte. I recall going to my friend's houe and stacking up two to three television sets beside each other in order to cram in as much basketball as possible. We would all sit around with our brackets and cheer for teams we new little about. Thanksto modern television, I can get a split screen of 4 gams at one time with Mega March Madness on my Directv account. My televison is a lot bigger then it was back then and splitting the screen into 4 still has great clarity. Keeping up with the standings is important to many fanatics and it becomes increasingly hard if you move away from your local team. There is a small fee to get Mega arch Madness included ith your programming options but it is definitely worth it. I get ESPN Full Court which broadcast u to 30 games each week during the regular season. You would think that I would be satisfied with that but it only increases my need for the playoff match-ups. Thanks to being able to see most of the games during the seson, I have an advantage over all my friends when it comes to team strength. I amalso able to carry on conversations about almost anyone's team. Television as become more and more user friendly over the last few years. Thanks to satellite, we can now watch out teams even if we do not live close enough to get the diect feed. The number of HD college basketball feeds is increasing as well which ads to the excitement.
