#8 – Spotty NCAA Connection
By: Nolan Cox
It’s Thursday. The first day of the NCAA tournament. You just spent the last 6 months watching college basketball, and you’ve spent days debating what to do with a bracket you will more than likely end up
ripping to pieces and in just a couple of hours. There’s a full slate of games including your alma mater’s. You get to work just elated about the prospect of sitting on ESPN 360 all day not doing anything productive. You get to work and log into your computer, attempt to open ESPN 360 and get hit with a shot to the heart that reads “Content restricted. Please contact systems administrator.”
Being a recent college grad just now getting his feet wet in the corporate world you aren’t aware that such restrictions apply at Fortune 50 companies. You are able to get the live feed going on CBS.com but the connection is spotty at best and each time you re-connect to the website you have to watch another Capital One commercial. You watch so many Capitol One commercials that for a split second you even have a thought about getting a Capitol One card to join the American Express you undoubtedly already have in your wallet. It’s a dark, dark day for us white people but look on the bright side, odds are you didn’t have much in common with anybody who was playing anyway. Except Cornell.
