It was announced that CBS Sportsline and Microsoft are teaming up to deliver NCAA Basketball Tournament games using Silverlight!  I am a HUGE, HUGE NCAA Tournament junkie.  For the last 18 years I have taken the first Thursday and Friday of the Tournament off to do nothing but sit at home in my sweats with a lot of junk food in order to watch the opening weekend of games.  You may be asking why I think this is such a great announcement.  Well, outside the obvious that this is great news for Silverlight and Microsoft, this will also be the first time in a looong time that I will not be taking the first couple days of the tournament off.  I will be going to MIX 09 this year which means I will be working the conference the first two days of the tournament.  I will be crossing my fingers that the conference wireless will stand up to the load and I will be able to sneak a peek at an occasional game.  Of course, I may get lost and find myself in a sports book when my Michigan State Spartans are playing. ;-)
