Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show. Welcome to the program. Always an honor to be in for the Hall of Famer play a small role in the biggest

and most important show in our industry.

Tung to get to as always when I'm in the chair reuniforce once more

although I got a steam in because we're on television for one sparkling hour

today the goal is to hit you hard with four hours of content jammed into a

three hour bag. Always carve out time for your phone calls 1-800 636-86 emails

emails Roman have a take dot com open for business on Twitter bw-webber

webber with two bees and I realize I have to be even more compelling

energetic

Persuasive is louder possible I watched yesterday's show Uncle Brian had a little bit too much

caffeine I gotta dial it down so we do not kill the microphone but one hour on TV

plus let me reach over hit the button the countdown the

countdown the tip off is underway done that that that that the the madness is upon us. 16 games in the NCAA tournament. 15 minutes away from game one. The 8-9 matchup anything can happen when West Virginia

and Maryland get together. We will keep you apprised of upsets, but the goal is to provide counter-programming, understanding

that some stations, and this is a weird philosophical editorial choice.

Some stations might prefer live play by play other than me

recapping the game on the fly.

So, if you want to be a part of the show, if you want to weigh in on anything going on or how you see things playing out throughout the brackets nobody cares about your selections but we'll take big picture thoughts of one-86-86-1-86 and because it is the best month of the year

my favorite event of them all I'm not going to go through all the tournaments I

covered all those years ago and I'm in four I think undeniably the most

successful alum of them all of UC Santa Barbara.

We're gonna chat with their head coach coming up in less than 20 minutes.
