Yes, you can watch the special segment on Candace Parker on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric at 6:30 PM Eastern. Unless, of course, you live in the FREAKIN' HOME TOWN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE WHERE YOU CAN ONLY HOPE TO STAY UP LATE ENOUGH TO SEE IT TONIGHT OR WAIT UNTIL EASTER SUNDAY! Nice job WVLT, your All Vol Station. What the hell?

Sorry for your loss, tndrum. Anyway, you didn't miss much - the segment didn't begin until the last moments of the broadcast and lasted about a minute or two.

Actually I'm not as upset as that post reads. I just thought it a little odd that the local CBS affiliate decided to preempt the national news broadcast where one of our players was being spotlighted. I'll live.
