This isn’t wise, but all week, I have been looking forward to watching the Iowa-Wisconsin game on Saturday evening. I checked the listings the other day to verify that’s what would be on my local ABC channel and this is dorky and stupid, but I have been looking forward to it. This would be my first ever opportunity to watch Iowa in HD from the comfort of my own home, with some good beer.
A few minutes ago, I figured I should check again — one time last year, there was supposed to be an Iowa game on some channel, and then they changed it and put on something stupid. Guess what? The ABC listing changed. THEY ARE SHOWING THE USC-WASHINGTON STATE GAME. Why? WHY? Do you know how many people in Denver are from the midwest? Most of them. There are no people from Washington, and everybody from California is out crashing into stuff on the highways so they’re totally not watching TV. WHY IN THE HELL ARE THEY SHOWING THIS GAME? WHY?!
I hate you, ABC. If I saw you on the street, I’d punch you in the face.
Oh and also, today I got my Sports Illustrated, and the cover asks, “Pac 10 or SEC: Which is Stronger?” Oh my god, I do not care. Can these conferences I don’t care about stop with the penis measuring already and agree to disagree? I’d rather spend a day with that Ohio State mascot that has been described as a piece of corn covered with poo than hear one more thing about the Pac 10 or the SEC. I miss you, Big 10. You’re the only one for me.

Good luck. Disney owns ABC & ESPN.
Complain to George J. Mitchell, Chairman of the board March 2004 thru Junauary 2007. I doubt he will listen.
Mitchell is the MLB steroid auditor–too. See any confict? Mitchell is a doping apologist for profit.
ABC & ESPN are pro doping and program based upon ratings and the wishes of their advertising clients.
Enjoy freaky college steroid football. the refs are on quotos too. Commercials always trump penalty flags.

Maybe if the Iowa guys take a bunch of steroids tonight their game will be back on the schedule!

I doubt it. They have been on roids since the 9th grade. (age 14)
They all dope, but someone must lose.
Ask Notre Dame about losses on steroids.
Joe Montana now has his two sons at DeLaSalle (151 consecutive HS football wins) They know roids too. mark McGwire little brother was the steroid/strenght trainer bay in the late 1980s/ early 1990s.
Too funny how steroids have been around for 50 years.

dammit, I would have preferred to see the Hawkeyes upset the sorry little badgers. but noooo…
(We’re happy around here because Ohio St - Northwestern are on ESPN this afternoon. Unless they screw that up for us, too. And even though NU has a snowball’s chance at winning.)

I can say that you didn’t miss much in the Iowa-Wisconsin game. You probably would have fallen asleep as for the majority of the first half it was a punt fest. The only excitement came in the final minute of the half.
And are you saying you don’t like watching the ticker and seeing that Pennsyltucky A&I&M Tech State waffled Indiana State Community College for the Visually and Hearing Impaired 91-6? ;)
