Ok, well my blood pressure has finally returned to normal, so I guess I can begin to discuss last night's game.
So basically I left work early last night so that I could set my DVR to record the game, but I got stuck in traffic on the way home and didn't get to my apartment until after what would have been tip off. You notice I say 'would have been tip off.' That's because someone at Fox College Sports decided that it would be better to broadcast a 10-year old UCLA football game against Oregon St., instead of the regularly scheduled Zags game. And not just here in Los Angeles. WilburStepback up in San Francisco reported the same travesty coming through his cable box. It was a California-wide disaster. Let me begin to frame why this little programming blunder had me frothing at the mouth and screaming f-bombs at the poor customer service agents at Time Warner Cable.
So to begin with, in order to get the right sports package to be able to watch all the Gonzaga games, you have to pay for something like three different sport packages (FSN, FCS, ESPNU,ESPN2, etc.). I’m happy to do that as long as I get to see Gonzaga Basketball. So when TW Cable failed to deliver on the service they were providing (at a premium), I thought it was within my rights to call and register a complaint. And it probably would have just been a complaint if the people on the other end of the line weren't such incompetent boobs. What started out as a simple complaint turned into a full out ragefest. In the end, it really wasn't the fault of the cable provider, but since they are the one's cashing my checks each month, I felt I had fair reason to complain. If nothing else, in all honesty, I just needed to vent my all-encompassing fury on someone and the customer service agents, their supervisors, and their supervisors' supervisor came into my cross hairs. It wasn't pretty.
I guess this is a long way of saying I didn't get to watch the game, so I can't really offer any unique insights. I do have to say, hearing from a friend that they were up 47-11 at the half did a lot to contain my fiery rage.
Anyway, doesn't sound like I missed too great of a game, but all the same, I'm still a little bitter about the whole affair.
Luckily for you Ehlo, my wrath has shifted to bigger, and even dumber prey--the morons, boobs and turd sandwiches at Fox College Sports.

Tow. Thank you for that cathartic posting. I feel you pain...and as if I needed another reason to hate Fox. Your pictures of the Morons made me be thankful for what I have (a fully functioning brain, sometimes), not what I have not (zags).
I don't know what all the fuss is about, we had the game in Seattle. Maybe you and that poser Wilbur should move up here. To give you a little recap: The first half defense displayed by the Zags was some of the best I've seen out of this group and Meech. Granted they greatly outmatched the Vandals at every position, but regardless it is impressive to hold another D1 team to 11 first half points. Micah really played well and his jumper looked dope. Austin got t'd up in the second half. Anyway, time to bring on the big boys and lock it down in Orlando against Ok ST. They start 5 guards so we'll really need to set the tone down low early. Thanksgiving feast and Zags hoops, how could it get any better. Hope you two morons can figure out your cable dilemma and share in the fun.
