ESPN Classic: Classic Matchups in Real-Time

Did y’all enjoy that LSU/Apppalachian State game?  I heard it was good to see the Tigers back in action.  I wouldn’t know, though, because even though I have 1200 channels of programming, I don’t have ESPN Classic.  In fact, no one in the Myrtle Beach area does.  Not that we wanted to see the defending national champion play its season opener against a team that shocked another top-ranked team in its own season opener last year.  Meanwhile, the other ESPN channels (which I do receive) were airing the following all-important games:

• Bowling Green at Pittsburgh
• East Carolina vs. Virginia Tech
• Syracuse at Northwestern

High five, ESPN!  And way to geaux, Tigers.

PSA: Let’s Get This Party Started a Little Early

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (that other young governor who was on the list of McCain’s possible running mates and about whom I heard nary a word about pandering) has moved up today’s LSU game against Appalachian State from 5 p.m. to 11 a.m. EST due to the hurricane threat in Louisiana.  May Gustav rot in hell, but may we also begin enjoying the start of Saturday college football a little early.  Go Tigers!  Let’s get out there and not be Michigan, mkay?  Thanks.
