As blogged last week, I'm supposed to be in Lexington with my brother watching the LSU-Kentucky football game. (Currently LSU is up 10 playing under cloudless skies.) I'm not in Lexington because CBS decided this should be a 3:30 game rather than the 7PM start it was originally scheduled to be. When did they make this decision? Last Sunday.
Since Kevin coaches JV football, we weren't going to make it from Waynesfield, OH to Lexington and get parked and get in the stadium in 3 hours. One traffic delay would mean $200+ in tickets would have gotten us maybe a half of football...and no pre-game beers. So, thank you CBS, for trashing a pretty good plan the Wingfield boys had in place. (Kev did get the tickets sold, and we lost $30 a piece on them. Could have been worse.)
Stupid TV gripe part two...WOW taking a dump on hockey fans...
I've managed the first two weeks of the NHL season without Center Ice...barely managed. Why? WOW currently isn't carrying it, and indications are they aren't going to carry it at all this year. What that means here is we're likely about to become DirecTV customers again. So, after three years of WOW cable, all three where they offered the Center Ice package, it's time to leave. In this instance, choice is nice. (And, no, Time-Warner isn't an option...same crap as WOW, different name. Plus, DirecTV is offering 35 or so HD channels at the moment...about 34 more than TW or WOW have....)
In the meantime, though, no Hockey Night In Canada...
In other news, Iowa won a football game today. I might mention that in my weekly recap tomorrow.

I've had Direct TV for about ten years now and can not imagine EVER going back to cable. It's always been a non-negotiable requirement that I have permission to put up a dish at any apartment I've rented.
