The Olden Days

Remember those olden times when you had to purchase games PPV and even those games that weren't televised?

I love the Big Ten for this reason alone.

ABC - Southern Miss
Fox - UCLA
ESPN2 - Arky St
BTN - Idaho State
ABC - Wisconsin
ABC - Ohio State

Yea, that was like 2 years ago en sech.

Hell I remember the years when I had to stretch the antenna out on the AM radio and maybe bend it this way or that.......maybe wrap some tin foil around the end of it and hope I could hear Kent Pavelka's voice over the annoying static.

I still remember the Nebraska/Kansas State game over in Tokyo, Japan.....

Mom and dad made me go to bed early.......they wondered how I knew the outcome of the game the next morning

Yeah we had a stretches of fence line where the AM radio reception wasn't very good. We worked our asses off to get back up the hill so we could hear old Kent again.
