    2018 Selection Show

    This is the first year Turner will be airing the Selection Show. Apparently someone told them it would be a good idea to reveal all 68 teams in the field BEFORE unveiling the bracket itself.

    Get set for another bracket leak this year!

    So what, that is what they are going to do? Reveal all the teams in it first then show the seedings and pairings?

    I actually like that change. Get the suspense out of the way.

    So they will do that at the beginning of the show? Just have a list of all the teams in? Then proceed? I'm not sure I get the point of that. I guess we will see, maybe it will be better?

    it is still going to suck...it is still two hours long with way too much overblown who gives a crap analysis from people who claim to be experts. If Turner gave a shit, which we know they don't, they would limit it to a half hour show and they could save the bs analysis from people who want to torture themselves thru that after.

    As of today I think this is the dumbest idea yet. 30 mins is all it should be and reveal the teams one by one. I love the suspense. I will obviously see how this goes, maybe I will like it. I mean we already know X is in.

    No painful wait till the final bracket this year.

    Classic "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"...

    What was better than the 1 hour show where they reveal each bracket one by one, with a commercial in between? I love the suspense of listening to Greg Gumbel as the names flip over onto the bracket.

    Now we get 2 hours and we get a list beforehand and then we go through the brackets blah blah blah. Stop messing with it. It was so perfect a few years ago.
