Any idea yet on the official breakdown for Enberg and Blackburn. I assume Blackburn will do the early games and Enberg the night games, but what about Saturday? Just Enberg since it's only two games?

Not yet....for some reason they list them all together in the press release. I'll try to find out.

Gus probably got the most competitive games of the first two rounds, PERFECT!

I had a feeling that USC/K-State would be the featured game on Thursday...Gus should be there.

I still can't believe that CBS is making West Coast teams play at 9:00 their time. It's bad enough that they made the entire WCC play on the other side of the country, now they're making them play at breakfast?

You can guarantee one second round matchup. I guarn-damn-tee you that Duke will be chosen for the first game Saturday (the only Saturday game that goes out to the entire country). They always get that game and the Thursday primetime game when they're in the Thursday/Saturday bracket. So their opponent will be playing until midnight Thursday and then come back to play Duke before lunch on Saturday.

They pushed back the start time of the Saturday second round games two hours this year. That national game starts at 2:15 now, and yes it is Duke. The quadrupleheader games start at 9:00.

Clearly Kevin Harlan will be able to be objective calling a Kansas game.... Clearly...

Enbergs gotta give up a region. This guy is impossible to listen to now in my opinion. Ian Eagle should have a redgion. He is the best announcer along with Gus IMO. Raftery should be with one of Gus or Ian that would be magic.

just read this pretty solid lampooning of March Madness articles:

OOPS! sorry about that

Harlan has called many Kansas games over the years. He is the ultimate professional. I'd rather seem him do their game and the KSU game since he is probably most familiar with the Big XII.

Someone really does love Gus. George Mason and Winthrop? They'll have to keep an entire box of glass slippers on hand just in case.

Big picture, he gets two of the infamous 5-12 match-ups and the weakest 4 seed. Hopefully we'll be in for a classic weekend.

As a KU fan I love the fact that fellow Jayhawk (and Sigma Chi) Kevin Harlan will be calling the KU game. KU fans were stuck with Nance and Packer last year in Chicago so this must be CBS' way of saying they are sorry.

Thank you, CBS for doing Michigan State fans a great service by counterbalancing the excitable Gus Johnson with the crotchety, old, almost lost MSU radio broadcast team of Will Teamen & Gus Ganakas. I might be on an island up here about this, but they're insufferable.

Looks like I'll be getting some pretty big helpings of Lundquist/Raftery and GuJo. Awesome.

Rick James is right on. Sparty has an unlistenable radio crew. Words cannot describe their awfulness, but "Insufferable" works.

Thank Gus that Gus Johnson is working those games. It's going to make for a great Thursday!

I am attending the games in Raleigh, which means I do not have to ever listen to Nantz-Packer for the first and second rounds. This means the world to me.

im a temple fan and i get gus. oh glory day.

Pretty glad Denver gets ol' screamin' Gus rather than Anaheim where my boys are at. Maybe I can actually figure out what's going on instead of having to reach and turn the volume down every five minutes.

What do you get for winning the Eye-An Eagle lottery? Bored to tears?

Well, unfortunately I personally won the Nessler-Dykes lottery. Damn.

As far as the other locals go though, it would appear I'm going to at least get a little Lundquist-Raftery, GUS!, and......oh no......a double dose of Nantz and Packer.

*cries*

Possible explanation for split at the Anaheim venue: Enberg will call the first, third and fourth games for CBS and Blackburn will call the second for CBS College Sports (the former CSTV), as Blackburn is a regular on that network.

At least Gus has Len Elmore alongside of him. Or should I say, at thank god for my ears Gus has Len Elmore beside him. They won't bleed nearly as much at this point.

Every time Gus' voice cracks, you've got to take a shot. Every time Gus says the words slipper or cinderella, you've got to take shot.

Thankfully I'll be unconscious by half-time and can sleep through the rest of Denver's Thursday.

Six of these analysts played in the ACC (three of them at Duke), whlle Bob Wenzel was an assistant at Duke. So much for diversity.

Any coverage maps yet?

Is James Brown still locked in for the regionals over Gus?

Favorite Gus-isms

DICK-OW for threeee got it!

Drives the laaane, ohhhhhh!

Remember Gus on an NFL call getting the Governor of MA confused with Antwoin Smith and then yelling, " Will you get the camera off of her so I can concentrate on the game."

You guys that complain about Gus can't be true college basketball fans. He is the PERFECT announcer for this tournament. No other announcer can come close to calling not just the games, but the EXCITEMENT of them. I pray that CBS will someday come to their senses and allow Gus to do the Final Four.

If it's any consolation GMoney, Portland St. and St. Mary's are playing in central time, so they don't start until 10:30.
