Two questions: does your station host any shows themselves, and if so, do they take live calls?
(If yes, I can only pray you're not in a mostly SEC part of the state.)

First, thankfully no, it's all piped from ESPN. But the second question, yes, AND WE CARRY PAUL FINEBAUM, the Gas Bandit of SEC commentary. Our locals CAN call in live to these shows, and already have started.
Can we all start prank calling them? :^p

I mean, a good many of his books are literally titled "I hate (your university here), and here's 303 reasons why you should too"

That's not as bad, since handling those calls should be ESPN's problem, not your station's. You don't get direct exposure to the crazy, stupid, and crazystupid.
At least I hope that's how it works, for your sanity's sake.

I still have to cross promote and make commercials for the stupid. And I'm expected, naturally, to monitor my own station for problems. Previous years I was able to just tune out all the Madness. Not so this year.
You're on your own with not liking the tournament. You don't have to deal directly with the callers, which is far, far worse. Like that guy who killed the Auburn oak trees. He was a regular on Finebaum's show.

It's kind of his schtick. And really, he only hates their intercollegiate sports programs.

Wisconsin has a team??!
Heh, seriously though.. they haven't won a football championship since 42 nor men's basketball since 41. Talking about how you hate UW is kicking someone when they're down.
When did you become a member of my family?
Mental image that I was forced to recall, so I will share:
Green beer puke smells even WORSE when it's been sitting.
When Noah was about a year old, he got sick with croup on St. Patrick's Day night. I had to take him in to the ER at Naval Med. Ctr. San Diego (aka Balboa). That was an experience.

Oh I don't, I think you're quite apPEALing.
What does the sound of bells have to do with Emrys?
So I've spent more than two weeks in intensive training for my new position at work. My supervisor's patiently explained everything I'll need to know to do my job. I've watched all the training videos, done all the practice exercises, had all the meetings with my coworkers.
So why am I sitting here right now, staring at the specs for my first real project, wondering how the hell I'm supposed to do it?

Could be, but I'm not sure. I'm supposed to go through the client's data and pick out the relevant parts for my project, except I keep scrolling and scrolling and I can't find what I'm looking for and oh god I'm going to be fired.
