I'm Going to Love ESPN360.com

I was looking at schedules for the upcoming games this Saturday on ESPN.com, when I discovered that Troy at LSU is playing on ESPN360.com. Thinking that this is a pay service, I hesitated to go there but my curiosity got the best of me. As it turns out, it is free to AT&T DSL customers, as AT&T pays for the service. (Of course, indirectly I pay for it, but since the cost is spread over all the customers, it is probably not much.) I get to see the game this Saturday. In fact, I could have seen the Arkansas State at Alabama game. The picture quality is actually pretty good too, even at full screen.

By the way, if you have Charter as your Internet Service Provier, you'll just have to go to ESPN360.com to see if it works for you. From what I've seen in searching the web, it appears that Charter only payed for ESPN360.com in the St. Louis and Los Angeles areas. If you're a Charter subscriber, comment and let everyone know if it works.

Football: Gotta Love It

It's been a while since I've posted to the blog. I've wanted to but I've just been very busy. This weekend we've tried to get a little rest. It has been a big football weekend. Last night we went to the Briarwood game and watched them beat up on Moody. Neither Laura nor I have felt very well today so football has been on most of the day. I watched Alabama beat Arkansas (Roll Tide!) while listening to Troy get beat 28-10 by Ohio State on the radio.

The Troy game was much closer than the score indicated. In fact, the rest of the stats really show this:

	Troy	Ohio State
1st Downs	15	17
3rd down efficiency	5-15	3-11
4th down efficiency	0-0	0-1
Total Yards	315	309
Passing	218	139
Completed-Attempts	30-43	10-17
Yards per pass	5.1	8.2
Rushing	97	170
Rushing Attempts	23	42
Yards per rush	4.2	4.0
Penalties	8-80	6-46
Turnovers	2	1
Fumbles lost	0	0
Interceptions thrown	2	1
Possession	29:50	30:10

I just got through watching LSU beat Auburn (26-21) in an incredible game. Geaux Tigers.
