College basketball fans in Massachusetts following the NIT tournament were delighted when Boston College the #1 seed advanced winning their first round game 82-64 over McNeese State.

That victory moves them to a 2nd round game against the 4th Seed Northwestern tomorrow at 11 a.m.

Which puts them right on top of my 2nd hour. Meaning that DaTechGuy on DaRadio will be a cut down version running from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. tomorrow, with my guest Susannah Fleetwood editor of The Minority Report and blogger extraordinaire.

We will be talking about The Minority Report, Libya, Israel and if we can fit it in the Wisconsin Ruling.

Make sure your station is tuned to WCRN all morning tomorrow and EVERY saturday starting at 6 a.m. as we bring you the best of conservative talk The Wesley & Weston Review ( 6 a.m.) Conservatively Speaking ( 7 a.m.) , Carol Ann Brown ( 9 a.m. ) and DaTechGuy on DaRadio (10 a.m.) followed by BC Basketball!

And remember you can listen live here.

All on WCRN, the home of Red Sox Baseball!

If you are one of the people I’ve visited door to door and you are wondering if you should advertise on DaTechGuy on DaRadio here is a bit of news that should help your decision.

I was down at the station to record some ads and just got the word that WCRN is picking up the Red Sox this year.

If you are familiar with baseball you will know that Red Sox home games on Saturday are usually at 1 p.m with the pregame starting at 12:30.

So not only will you be buying time on the station that carries THE New England Sports institution but Your ads will be there on a show leading into the Red Sox.

If that’s not a reason to sign up or renew for 13 weeks I’d like to know what is? Rates are here.

You wouldn’t know by my shape…

…but I prefer to play basketball rather than watch it. That being said These multi player trades always struck me as odd.

The Post, citing a league source, said the Knicks would send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash.

Along with Anthony, New York would acquire Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, according to the Post.

A Basketball team’s roster is what 13 players. And these teams are trading 4 guys each? That would be like the Red Sox sending 7-8 players with the Cubs. If you’re going to do that why not just switch teams and be done with it.

Angry Millionares do a smart thing

Being that football isn’t baseball I have very little interest or coinage involved if they bother to play a season or not next year, but I was rather surprised to read this story:

The NFL and its players’ union agreed to federal mediation Thursday in an effort to help settle the labor dispute that is threatening to lead to a lockout of players in as little as two weeks.

This is such a wise and sensible move that I’m totally shocked that the players and owners managed to do it. The amount of revenue generated by football is incredible and there is no reason why these two sides can agree to an acceptable split that keeps them both rich.

I assumed the NFL would do something stupid to threaten the money pot, it might still happen but for now they just might have figured out that quibbling over millions while people are hurting is bad PR.
