Re: CBS's Coverage

Packer is a legend...in ACC land.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of "One Shining Moment".

When a network pays as much as CBS did for the rights to the Tourney you are going to get a lot of promos and commercials.

Although CBS has improved their coverage over the years, they still have not matched the coverage that ESPN had back from the early 80s to early 90s when they (not CBS) covered the early round games. I don't think CBS covered the entire tournament exclusively until 1991 or 1992. Additionally, prior to 1981 or 1982, NBC carried the final rounds of the tournament.

NBC had a great announcing crew of Dick Enberg, Al McGuire, and Packer. McGuire was able to keep Packer in his place because he really knew the game.

I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
