| Thank you Buffalo Wild Wings. That's our game, second from left. Go Gophers. |
Thanks to greed and deregulation, the Gopher game channel du jour has become an elusive state secret. We've paid for hundreds of Comcast channels and you can get dozens of college football games on a Saturday, but never the one you actually want.
Today's treasure hunt came when the paper said the game could be found on ESPNU. Okay. So where's that? The printed guide suggested something up around HD 869. Ha.. Try as we might, no dice. Is ESPNU in our bundle? How could you know? There's also a group of channels called BigTen network which would be a logical spot, but only the more important Big Ten teams seem to get a spot there. So we chucked it, figured our neighbors would just tell us who won when they got home from the game.
Disappointed, we decided to risk the Mall of America on a weekend for a double rack of Tony Roma's world's greatest ribs, to go. Idling as we awaited our order, we spotted a television with the Gophers on it at Buffalo Wild Wings, right next to The Rainforest Cafe and Bubba Gump Shrimp. We stood outside looking in and watched a very thrilling fourth quarter, with the Gophers victorious after a big push by Colorado that came close to tying the game. There was no game sound of course, other than the sporadic crash of thunder coming from the Rainforest sound system, but football doesn't really need commentary. Sometimes it's better without it.
Our racks of ribs now secured, we found the brother-in-law's favorite slippers at Alpaca heaven on sale, two pairs for $70.
What could be better? New Alpacas for Dan, two racks of ribs with Honey Carolina sauce, cole slaw and baked potato, and a big victory for the Golden Gophers!
Who needs the stress of Comcast. Time to cut the cord.
Go Gophers!
