At least Vandy is in Nashville, which is somewhat akin to Austin on a smaller scale, but still interesting.
I really would have liked to have gone to this game.  Wasn't in the cards.

Instead, all day long on Saturday, I'll be doing parent-volunteering for my kids' high school marching band.  This is the Area competition, which determines who will go on to compete at State.

I'll be watching on tv, but only til maybe the 4th quarter or so.  The game starts late for the afternoon slot, so it will run into the LSU game at 6.  Hopefully Texas takes care of business early and doesn't leave it interesting late.  Because I gave Mrs. DT tv rights last week, missing us finally play a non-heart-stopping game vs the pigs, so that we could watch Texas do.....that.  I'm not relinquishing viewing rights this weekend after that :96:

I have "Zoo Boo" to attend Saturday night at the Memphis Zoo, with the wife, daughter and grandkids.

Tennessee is on a bye week -- the only reason I got the invitation. :)

But, I didn't know A&M and LSU would be this big of a game.  I'd love to watch it.

Would it be crass to watch it on the ESPN App on my phone while walking around the zoo?  Don't matter -- I'm doing it.

I have an extra TV not being used.  I could ship it to you.

You either need the TV, or you are quite a bit more gentlemanly than I.  LOL

Last week I started a university job, so I technically work for the state now.  The benefits are quite good, but yet I'm currently unable to get on here to kill/waste time.  At the moment I check in from my phone at lunch.  

What is the point of being a gub'ment employee if you can't excel at wasting time?

I thought it was a pre-requisite?

I believe it would be crass NOT to do so...

Texas-Georgia is now the highest rated college football broadcast of the season at 13.19M average viewers.

So... yay.  Apparently EVERYONE got to see... whatever that was.

Bama/TN “the appetizer” had like 10.3 million. 

Think CBS is kicking themselves yet?

ABC/ESPN/Disney hit the mother load.

Yeah it was a huge day for Disney.  Not sure why CBS decided to opt out, and it's too bad because their HD broadcasts are the best in the business.

I'm sure there was competitive bidding going on.  ABC can use it to leverage ESPN in a way CBS could not.

I mean, I assumed so.  I'm sure I'll get the hang of doing nothing on the taxpayer dime soon enough.
