Well, I am reading and responding to this thread, so I am distracted and counting down the hours/minutes to loading the car with tailgating gear.
Uselessness coming early this year

88mph is the key. That and having fuel for the Mr. Fusion.
It's all good. Yes, the same people who visit CycloneFanatic.com on the regular could just as easily type "iowa state football tv" into any search engine, but it's mostly harmless conversation starter. Asking what channel a game is on is ingrained in many humans the same as asking about the weather. Yes, humans could simply step outside and look up, but it's filling a void with mindless, friendly conversation.
Finding things quickly obviously doesn't waste time, which I assume is at least part of the goal since the question was posted in this thread.
I'm fairly certain there's going to be some lightning in my neck of the woods this afternoon, I'll just be driving around at 88 MPH hoping I get lucky.
Sometimes you gotta enjoy using the paper television guide because older generations don't have much else going on in their retired day and could use to kill a few extra minutes avoiding the immediacy of smart devices. Eat up those anxious minutes/hours before kickoff...any...way...possible.
LOL Good stuff. Reminds me of the time my teenage boys watched me move something they didn't think I could and said I had "old man strength". My secret - an extra 40 pounds of "push"!
Mark Twain said it best - “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Is it game time yet?
Exactly right -- "What channel is the game on?" is not someone asking out of complete confusion where they might find the game. They are trying to start a conversation, give themselves (and us) something to talk about. The vast majority of the time, those people could find the game one way or another but would rather come here to talk about it.
Sure, we could all just do a Google search for anything we have any question about and only listen to the experts on ISU sports or other topics, but there wouldn't be much to discuss here if that was what everyone did. Even though it's less efficient than a Google search, it's much more enjoyable to discuss this stuff.
Yes. I was just being lazy. **** talking is definitely warranted. I could have Googled it but then I'd miss out on this friendly conversation.
What really grinds my gears is that the game at Texa$ is on LHN and I have no way to watch it. No options available for a 1-game streaming pass.
*******.
You could get a PsVue subscription for 1 month and get the sports package, that would probably be around $40. Idk if there is another streaming service that has Lhn included with the basic package. That could be cheaper. Just don’t forget to cancel.[/QUOTE]

I missed Vue as one of the providers. I cut the cord and am with Sling presently.
I don't need football to be useless at work. But it's a fun new distraction.
Is that still $25/month for the basic espnU/News package? They advertise it as such but I've used two months or so.
Worked pretty well last year.
If ISU's decent they may be more viewable so may not even be on those channels. If so it's still cheaper than what I would spend at the bar. Healthier too.
I don't even remember. I think I'm at $60/month with the sports package, the kiddo channel package, and some news package thing that was part of a bundle.
