MMOD Alert (10:45 a.m. Thursday)

[beefncheddar]

If you're not already trying to log in to MMOD, you might want to get on the stick. Sportsline says it is targeting 11:30 to start letting people in, but the line is already ginormous. There's already 20,000 people in the VIP line and 33,000 in the regular line. Not sure how many they're letting in at a time, but you might want to start thinking about logging in to that sucker now.

 

[Cosmo]

Yeah, I'm No. 20,586 in line.

 

[spnited]

Saw something yesterday that about 1.5 million people had registered.

 

[spnited]

at 11:25 there are 43,000 in the VIP line and nearly 64,000 in the GA line.

And CBS has the capacity for how many of them to be logged in at once?

Sounds like the star-bellied sneeches vs. the sneeches with no stars.

I think they had similar lines for that, too.

Don't those people know there is no sex in the VIP room?

 

[beefncheddar]

Damn.

VIP line is up to 50K and the regular line is up to 97K. Hope you're VIP. FWIW, I've advanced about 5K spots in 10 minutes in the VIP line.

In other words, get your ass there in a hurry if you want to watch.

Speak for yourself QB. What do I need to do to get in this VIP room? Do I need to slap a Franklin in the hand of one of our company computer network geeks. Or perhaps better yet, a Comp USA gift card?

 

[spnited]

I've gone from 34,000 to 6,000 on VIP in about 15 minutes

 

[beefncheddar]

Sweet. Boston College-Texas Tech, here I come.

 

[fmrsped]

Yeah, spnited's right, it goes fairly quickly.

 

[wickedwritah]

At 45,000. At this rate, I MAY get in about 2.

 

[beefncheddar]

One word of caution for once you get in: Last year, IIRC, if you left the player alone for something like 15 minutes, there was a prompt asking you if you were still watching. If you didn't hit "Yes" within five minutes, you were kicked out.

 

[ondeadline]

I logged on two hours ago and went off to run some errands. When I came back, I had been \"bumped because of inactivity\" and I\'m back in line.

Yawn. No offense. I'm actually IN Winston-Salem working the tourney, and I'm not going over to watch it. Can't think of two teams I'd less like to watch than these.

Blocked out by the work filter. Amazing -- I can watch ESPN 360, but not the tournament.

You can't be serious, Norman.
How can you be there supposedly covering the tourney and not be at the arena for every game?
You should have your credential revoked.

Muahahahaha

I have three things to write tonight -- all on my team, all on a hellacious deadline.

I need time to relax and focus.

What would be excellent is if they offered three screens the size of the small screen they provide for games so that you could see all three games not being shown in your area.
