Just how boring were the 0th Round games?
If the players can’t even stay awake, how could we? But there’s good news, everybody. The main course is just a few hours away, and we have two special entrees on the way.
Watch Games Live!
As we’ve been doing since 2007, links to a live stream for each and every Men’s College Basketball game will be available via CBS MMOD. Just click on any game, and hop on the video link for live streaming goodness.
Who You Got? Challenge
Back by popular demand, we’re running another Who You Got? Challenge! Correct picks for each game of the Tourney earns you points, and the most points wins. Up for grabs will be an Amazon Gift Card and those world-famous, handmade RUWT?! T-shirts. More info to come, but start picking now!

Our goal at Are You Watching This?! is to guarantee that you never miss an Instant Classic. While you always have the option between text and email alerts, we know that two choices is simply not enough. That’s why we make sure to have a presence on every platform and newfangled device out there.
Whether you rely on our first app: the Firefox Toolbar, our newest app: the Chrome Web App, or my favorite app: the Google TV App, you’ll have RUWTbot watching your back no matter where you are.
Even I have found myself forgetting the full list of apps, so we have a new page to catalog all of them. Give a new app a shot today!

Pssst.
Guess who’s the first company to have a 3rd-party app featured in the Google TV Gallery?
I’ll give you two guesses, but you’ll probably only need one.

Wow, what a month. Lots of meetings and lots of time on the road was tiring, but it was the integrity of data at RUWT?! that was keeping me up at night.
Without boring you with all the details, near the end of last month we got word that we had less than a week to switch sports data providers. As you might guess, after four years with the same data, making a switch is far from simple. Somehow though, it got done, and as of this weekend, we’re completely moved over to the new feed.
So what does this mean for you?
Well, the bad news first: Some WYG picks and roots for some upcoming games for some minor College Football and Basketball teams were tossed during the conversion. And…that’s it.
With our new feed, there’s a whole lot of good news. First off, we’ll never again have games that don’t get updated. If you see a game, there’ll be a score. Period. Also, we’re getting new information about play-by-play action for pro sports. I’m figuring out the best way to incorporate without cramming to much stuff into the bleachers, and you should see that landing soon. Finally, we’re getting more frequent score updates for all sports, and re-adding coverage for College Hockey and some other minor league sports.
My sincere apologies to anyone that received bad data in the past couple weeks. I take the integrity of this site very seriously, and I’m thrilled to put issues we’ve all been annoyed with, to bed. Finally.
As always, don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

Please tell me you watched the Japan/Paraguay Instant Classic.
What’s that? You’re at work? Didn’t realize the game was on?
Listen up, because I’m only saying this once: As of today, that excuse is grounds for Sports Fan membership revocation.
I’m thrilled to announce the integration of ESPN3 into Are You Watching This?!. The vanquisher of boring workdays everywhere, ESPN3 not only simulcasts games from the traditional ESPN family, but it also gives you access to sporting events you simply can’t find anywhere else.
Just like the rest of our 7000+ channels, ESPN3 is available on your station lineup, it has it’s own dedicated ESPN3 schedule page, and you’ll get alerts when RUWTbot find a great game (look for ‘www ESPN3′). Unlike any other channel, we’ll include links to live streams and replays of great games.
So you missed Komano’s shot glance off the crossbar? Head over to RUWT?!, catch the ESPN3 replay, and I’ll let it slide. This time.

Athletes usually stay as far away from Politics as they can. It was Michael Jordan who famously said, “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”
Tonight though, we’ll have a very interesting intersection of Politics and Sport.
“I think it’s fantastic,” Nash said after Tuesday’s practice. “I think the law is very misguided. I think it’s, unfortunately, to the detriment of our society and our civil liberties. I think it’s very important for us to stand up for things we believe in. As a team and as an organization, we have a lot of love and support for all of our fans. The league is very multicultural. We have players from all over the world, and our Latino community here is very strong and important to us.” (more)

While everyone is debating the value of moving from 65 to 68 teams, the most important part of this announcement is being missed. It’s big news for RUWT?! because of the regional nature of CBS’ past broadcasts.
Starting next year, EVERY game of March Madness will be broadcast live on TV.
Beginning next year, every game through the second round will be shown nationally on the four networks. CBS and Turner, an entity of Time Warner Inc., will split coverage of the regional semifinal games, while CBS will retain coverage of the regional finals, the Final Four and the championship game through 2015.
