There used to be something special about having to wait all week until Saturday before seeing football. It made it that much sweeter. Now we're inundated with it during the week; and it has taken away some of its luster.

    MWC, AAC, C-USA, MAC, and Sun Belt are your sources for college football?

    I hear you. Same with some other sports too. It has diluted the feeling that every game on TV matters, is a small event. But then I would be bitching if I couldn't watch every game of my favorite team, which is easy to do nowadays.

    I would watch it on my iPhone if I could afford one. I'm only here now because I'm stealing my neighbors unsecured WiFi.

    Axe Fleenor. He's got this shit dialed in and is more than willing to tell anyone who axe him. He'll even tell people who didn't axe him.
    If anyone has Club Husky seats, Sven's $20 to the guy who finds Fleenor and jams his iPad up his asshole in landscape orientation.

    In other Old Man news: God damn white helmets Saturday. Fuck those look like shit.

    But I don't care if they play in pink tutus as long as the kids love them and they win.

    I'm with you Derek. It's not real bad now, but by Monday I'm getting burned out (both of the games sucked as matchups though, AZ v. SD was worth watching about 20 plays). It doesn't help that everything on t.v. besides sports is either made for women or rednecks. It makes us more likely to watch mediocre football.

    When ESPN starts putting all that stupid Tuesday and Wed. MAC Con. USSR, and Sun Belt shit out, it gets really stupid and oversaturated.

    Burned out? Like it's some big god damn chore to watch a game?

    You could always not watch.

    I don't mind sitting here watching BYU and Houston. I would never watch this game otherwise and I'm not rescheduling my evening to see it. If this wasn't on, the TV would be off or the local news would be on. #newstips

    Yeah, well, I didn't watch much of BYU/Houston, most of tv is dreck, and there aren't a lot of good shows out on dvd to watch. There used to be more good OOC gaymes to watch at least.

    I like watching other PAC 12 teams play on Thursday nights. I hate when Oregon plays on Thursday night.
