the TV station carrying the game in said "Huge Rivalry"'s biggest market cuts away from the game before it's even over??

If I was that TV station, I'd have moved heaven and earth to prevent that cutaway. The ku and MU fanbases are huge in KC, plus, in dealing with ku fans, the whiniest pu$$ies in collegiate sports. As a 'Cat fan, it was hilarious.

Lot of reassessing, validation and explaining going on in Tardville over this issue.

Gotta be a real KITN to realize that CBS values Michigan vs Michigan State over ku vs mu, even in Kansas City.

Funny, didn't see CBS cutting away early during that Duke vs UNC game.

I wish you could have heard the crying on 610 after the game. They were just a step away from organizing a riot gang to take down channel 5.

One ku fan called in and said they should replay the last 5 minutes of the game DURING PRIME TIME so that EVERYONE could watch it.

What planet are these people from???

Mikeyis4dcats · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2011, 10:59:34 AM »

hell, some on KUSports wanted the game replayed in it's entirety.

They are still complaining about it today.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2011, 11:00:08 AM »

Social Media absolutely blew up.

Why would they complain, they all had the sound down anyway listening to Bob Davis whine and bitch about how the refs were screwing ku. They could have listened to him in the last 3 minutes describing how ku prevailed despite it being 8 vs 5.

He pulled company line and glossed over it.

Amazed at how many people are still pissed about this. Best part is, KU fans at my office no stop bitching about it and coming up with crazy ass conspiracy theories and MU fans are like

. MU fans were pissed, but understand that time machines aren't invented yet and you can't go back and fix it like KU fans want to happen.

I went over to Phog just to look at the ridiculous thread titles....it was hilarious. They were having trouble deciding on whether to boycott just KCTV-5 or to go ahead and boycott CBS national. The boycott included not just the channels but every company who advertises on them.

CNS · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2011, 12:09:27 PM »

Guys, remember that time that the broadcast guys could even be bothered to actually get a truck to Manhattan for one of our games last year?

Sure do, didn't we just laugh about it?

Oh and remember they were going to boycott Keitzman right off the air a few years ago.

I'm sorry if this was discussed before. I'm starting to question the value of playing on CBS. i get they own the tournament rights and have access to more tv's than ESPN. However, I don't think they truly value our brand. We all know they wouldn't have switched a UNC vs. Duke or Kentucky vs. top name game.

Hell hath no fury like a butthurt ku basketball fan scorned.

Look out CBS, they might just boycott winning the second round of the tourney this year if you keep this up.

BITB says it was sun spots and then user error failed to fix the issue in a timely manner.

Channel 13 sold out KC CBS.

CNS · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2011, 02:42:13 PM »

Just discussed my tweet on air about the lack of broadcast truck.

“I’ve got people flipping out,” Lewellen said Sunday. “A huge panic.”

People filed out, some without paying their tabs. A few miles south and west, the same kind of bedlam was transpiring at Coach’s Bar & Grill on 148th Street and Metcalf Avenue.

BITB just had about the perfect scorned middle aged woman KU fan on, pretty sure she said her name is Deb. Calling for a boycott of KCTV 5, contacting parent company Meredith, considering never watching CBS for the rest of her life.

BITB continues to pour gasoline on the fire, he is definitely treating himself to a delicious steak off his Beef-eater Grill from Smoke & Fire after today's show
