March Madness is Near

If you are a sports fan, you need not look out the window at the March winds to know that March has arrived. For basketball fans, the process of counting down the days to March Madness has been a daily occurrence for some time. On Thursday, March 20th the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, affectionately known as March Madness, will officially kick-off with the first round of action. Bracket day will take place on Sunday, March 16th, when the NCAA tournament committee will seed the teams into four distinct regional brackets.

Naturally, coverage of March Madness will not exactly be ignored on the regular sports networks; however, as true sports fans know there is always room for plenty of additional coverage. If you want to make sure that you do not miss even one heart-stopping moment of this highly anticipated annual event, you will want to make sure that you have a package that covers everything. For die-hard hoop fans, this means the DIRECTV Mega March Madness package. What better way to make sure you do not miss even a second of court-side action than with a package that is dedicated to delivering full-coverage of this event?

With the DIRECTV Mega March Madness package, subscribers will be provided with coverage of 37 NCAA tournament games. These are games that would normally be outside of the subscriber's viewing region. This means this is absolutely the only way fans would be certain to catch all of the action of their favorite team if they live outside the team's market area, unless they hit the road; something that is not feasible for many fans.

The package is certainly a deal for fans who want to be certain they do not miss any part of March Madness. In addition to the broad array of games they will be able to catch, subscribers will also be able to take advantage of a number of extras offered by the DIRECTV Mega March Madness package. Compared to past years, this year's package will offer even more HD than ever before. If you are HD ready, you can anticipate being able to view a large number of the games broadcast in HD's crystal clear format. In addition, you can look forward to the Mega March Madness Game Mix. This allows you to see a whopping four games all at one time, all on one single screen. Talk about not missing anything!

Other features include an L-Wrap application that allows subscribers to check the states and scores on other games without having to miss a moment of the game they are currently watching. Mega March Madness short cuts give subscribers the advantage of recapping the games with absolutely no commercials, all in twenty minutes or less. 63 game recaps are included, giving viewers the opportunity to watch all of the great highlights and plays they might have missed out on.

Considering all of the great features included, hoop fans will certainly want to make sure they sign up for Mega March Madness package before the kick-off on the 20th, to be sure they do not miss a single thing.
