As a completely neutral observer, I agree with those who say that MSC should
not have cut away.  While Aaron's points about this being exciting for Gopher
fans to be in the final four for the first time are completely valid, I must
say that cutting away to a pep rally from a real sporting event was extremely
classless.

But the game which msc abondoned is gone now.  It will never happen again.
And it was a *good* game.

Well, I'm sure that most people would rather they didn't cover the game than to
pull the rug out from under their feet by only showing part of the game.

That seemed uncalled for, Aaron.  You can be impassioned without being caustic,
you know.
