As a side-semi-off-topic....
I am actually somewhat annoyed that OSU didn't get in. Not that I think they deserved to get in, just that the radio coverage sucks.
I live in the Columbus area. 97.1 The Fan is the Columbus area sports radio station. They are obviously, very OSU centric. I accept that......but...
Here we are, the week of March Madness, what many consider to be the biggest American sporting event of the year (or at worst, #2 behind the Super Bowl).
And when I turn on the radio every morning and every evening for my commute to / from work, what is the station covering this week?
OSU spring practice. NFL draft. NFL trades. OSU women's basketball. Spring Break stories.
They have talked about men's college basketball over the last 3 weeks more than average, but 95% concerned Holtman getting fired and whether Diebler should have been hired.
Otherwise.....nothing. March Madness may as well just not exist. Maybe my commute is just always at a time they never discuss it, but's it's been this way for months now. The week of the Super Bowl, they spent about 60 to 75% of their time covering it. I get that they have a demographic that they are appealing to, but it borders on the level of ridiculousness how little they are talking about it.
