The Horror, The Horror

Why have you forsaken us?

I am completely distraught right now, thanks to this bit of news. I really can't express how I feel right now, but if I could, I would say that my insides feel like they have been run through a blender on the liquefy setting. While I don't want to blow this out of proportion, I fear that the program may not be able to survive this devastating turn of events.

I remember the last time Notre Dame wasn't on the major networks. It was Halloween 1992, and I was a freshman in high school. I invited Sally Jenkins over to my house to watch Notre Dame destroy Navy (those guys come to play!), but was horrified to find that our RCA black-and-white TV set was not getting the game. Sally left in a huff and she never spoke to me again.

Well, I'm not going to let this happen again. Tonight I am going home to construct a makeshift satellite dish out of aluminum foil and Velveeta cheese. Hopefully this will be able to pick up the Air Force TV feed from Germany. I'll keep you posted, and stay strong, Irish Faithful!

UPDATE: Well, the Velveeta cheese got burned in the microwave, so my satellite dish was a no go. However, a group of enterprising young Irish alumni stormed the offices of CSTV last night, which is airing the game, and they will now be offering a free preview over the weekend. Success! (Although Sally still won't speak to me)
