johnnyzip84 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 For those of us who just can't swing the west coast road trip at this time, Ohio Brewing Company will be hosting a watch party beginning at 6:00 PM on Thursday. I've been told that representatives from the athletic department will be there, in addition to general alumni and fans like ourselves. Perhaps we can create the same excitement as we had during selection day? I look forward to seeing you all down there. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchrider1 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I searched the net already but does anyone know if they will air the entire game on CBS that night or if they will show a different game. It says CBS HD Regional so it appears that it will but I want to be sure. If not I will need to find a babysitter now to come to the OBC.Is there a special tourney package you can purchase on Time warner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Portland, Ore."So it looks like CBS will be broadcasting the game in it's entirety, though they are likely to cut away occasionally for brief updates and look-ins from other regions.

I invited a few coworkers otherwise I would be there by myself. I went to the selection show party by myself! The atmosphere at OBC is amazing.
