CBS was advertising last weekend for its annual March Madness on Demand (MMOD) service, which is now available for sign-up. According to their site, it’s worthwhile to get a VIP pass now (some 61 days from Selection Sunday) because the passes are limited. Was it last year that their servers were overloaded with the throngs of fans who woke up on the Monday morning prior to the Tourney and realized they’ll have to work on Thurs/Fri again this year? This is the message you get after signing up:
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’RE SIGNED UP!

Thanks, I totally forgot about that! I usually take the day off of work and blog while I have the main TV on in my living room and other games on via this CBS NCAA March Madness on demand.
Speculating how many March Madness lovers are making their friends crazy!
