The time is now

Tonight on ESPN the NCAA Basketball and NBA announcers will switch places. That's right, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Mike Tirico will call the Blue Devils / Wildcats game, and then after that Dick Vitale and Dan Shulman will call the stupid Denver Nuggets / Miami Heat game.

This is so cool on so many levels:

1) It will be fun to listen to Jeff, Mark and Mike as they experience the pure, refreshing excitement that is college hoops. They might even say on the air "What have we been doing with our lives? This is where its at!"

2) Those who prefer all dunks and no offensive or defensive strategy (translation: NBA fans) will be subjected to the raw, powerful annoyance that is Dickie V. Good luck with that. You deserve it in a way.

Correction. No one really deserves Dickie V. But it will be nice for us to have the night off from him.
