Weekend college basketball?  Check.

Big time rivalry game?  Check.

Stool made out of toothpicks and duct tape?

Check.

From Yard Barker:

Last weekend, the CBS Sports Network was covering an Atlantic-10 men’s college basketball game between Xavier and Dayton. For the game, they sent the team of Steve Wolf and play-by-play announcer James Bates. As they started the telecast, Bates is seen notably shifting in his stool which gives way during the live broadcast.

CBS couldn’t afford a real chair for the man?

Have a great weekend all!
