Jan 1st Bowl Games Not on Cable?

Will this affect us?

Even under the best of conditions Mediacom can drop the ball.

I remember when there were only four games on Jan 1st.

It was always such a sad day for me.

Holidays were about to be over and no football on Saturdays.

I like it like we have it now!

Although hearing Larry Munson..."Hunker down, you guys." during a non-televised game was priceless.

Is this a rumor or do have specifics?

Hmmm...Gator Bowl on CBS, the bowl LSU is in is on ABC, Sugar Bowl on Fox...I have heard there are some cable markets affiliated with Time-Warner that are in a tinkling match with Fox, but haven't heard any issues with Mediacom. Of course, I don't have Mediacom.

BTW, anybody who knows how to Tivo and burn a dvd or two of the Gator Bowl, do it and we can work out a deal when I get back from Jax (we don't get CBS at my house) . Even if we lose, because this is one for the history books.

I too saw that one was on CBS, one on ABC, and one on Fox but one I saw was on ESPN tomorrow. Don't remember which one.

False alarm

I read on AJC.com that Fox and Time Warner worked on a temporary deal where the Sugar Bowl and pro games this weekend would be carried as usual.

I don't inhale the sports section like I did in my youth.
