>So we're watching the NU-Michigan softball game. It's tied up 5-5 in the sixth, game is going on, and the BTN decides to switch to ... wait for it .... women's gymnastics. I kept waiting for them to realize they had made a mistake and switch back, but at least by the time I gave up, they had not.

>I have no problem with them broadcasting gymnastics, but they weren't even showing competition, just the 3 broadcasting hammerheads yakking about something or other. You couldn't skip that to show us the end of a tied game between the two top-ranked teams in the Big 10? Hello?????
