WhoO WhoO WhoO!
I might try and sync the ESPN Radio Broadcast with the Sounds of the Game Telecast.
Sounds like a great way to watch.
I wish my DVR could record more than 2 things at once. I want to re-watch pretty close to every one of these feeds (assuming we win of course).

Glad you'll get to watch. (Just drive carefully going home. Looks like kickoff isn't until 8:30)

Hmmm...Well done, Mr. Sock.
When you get a minute, there are a few people in State College and Tallahassee who could use your attention.

Nice! I felt your pain.
I was supposed to work 6p-1a Monday night, but luckily inventory got changed to the weekend rather than the start of the week. I like to think me telling them (back in December) that, if OSU wins on New Year's and we're working the 12th, I'm going to be a complete ass had something to do with changing the dates.

Was in the Navy listening to the radio broadcast of the 1978 'Bama/Penn State Sugar Bowl on a ship in the Mediterranean Sea. Ten years later many ships could pick up the live tv feed via satellite.
The reason I didn't watch this year's Sugar Bowl live is I don't have cable anymore. After (14) years of misery w/Time Warner and 2 years of misery w/ATT Uverse I refuse to pay for cable ever again. I digress. Can still watch ESPN via live streaming internet.
Re: ESPN, less is more. ESPN certainly doesn't cut corners, eh.

Kyle: "Sooooo...just found out my employer changed our hours for Mon night. I was supposed to work 4pm-2am.
We are now working 4pm....to 8:00pm on MONDAY MOTHERFUCKING NIGHT!!!!
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CALM DOWN. I AM GOING TO END UP WRECKING MY REACH TRUCK OMG"
Lassie: "Your boss is a saint."
Not really, just knows his work force (and probably doesn't want to be there himself.
Glad he got in the spirit.
Apologies for repeating a story I posted on another thread, but this reminds me of my BN. C.O., a VPI (now Va Tech) grad new to Columbus who scheduled the November 1972 drill for the third Saturday despite the recommendations from most of his staff to make it the second. "You're making too big a deal out of this Michigan game thing." When the Sergeant Major, the C.O. and I spent the morning answering phone calls from troops with bad colds and coughs, and less than half the battalion reported for duty he realized somethings are more important than work. We were released at noon.
