Gone A. Lookin

This is one of the more intense blizzards I've seen in 17 winters at Tahoe. People trying to drive in the impossible conditions are regretting their choice. A traffic camera just up the hill, from a few minutes ago:

Weather for November weeknight games is a heck of a lot more copacetic in Sacramento than in Kalamazoo or Ypsilanti. Maybe Sac State can put more than a few hundred people in the stands for those games.

Two games in a 24-day span between the quarterfinals and the National Championship Game. Those gaps between rounds are just waaaay too long to ask anyone whose own school isn't involved to maintain interest to the end.

About 70-74 degrees each of the last 4 days.

Ah, they fired McDermott. Pretty much the same deal as Justin Wilcox at Cal; reached a ceiling and couldn't break through. Wilcox' ceiling was lower, but he's still available to my knowledge, if the Bills want a defense-first guy who could never put together a competitive offense.

Little's kick at the end of the first half shouldn't have happened at all. The Jaguars' right tackle was still moving when the clock hit 0:00. Bills were also obviously offside but the tackle not being set should have ended the half. It didn't matter because Little missed the FG, but annoyed me.

Most years, several of the NFL's "Wild Card Weekend" games are completely skippable. Late in Game 3 of 6 this weekend, these games have been nuts.

Fox Sports has the San Francisco game later on. Those guys love the Dead, Phish and other jam bands, and that's going to be a full-on Dead show.

I noticed on Packers-Bears that they played "One More Saturday Night" going into a commercial. That's a Fox thing, Amazon not so much. I didn't realize there might have been special significance until hearing the news after the game.

Truckin' down to Jacksonville today, good luck!

Your listings have the games reversed. The one at Buffalo is on ESPN2, and the Kent State game is on ESPNU.

Reno gets stuck with the Raiders on Sundays most of the time. That offer of $48 for Sunday Ticket for the rest of the season has some appeal, as it would keep that unwatchable team off my television until next September.

I'm Nevada, so I'm glad I didn't have to hold my nose (but I would have gone Yes as well).

Final season attendance in West Sac is 768,464, lower than any of the final three seasons in Oakland. Like you, I contributed zero this year. Credit to the players, coaches and manager for setting aside the negativity and adversity and winning 76 games.

Stephen Vogt was on the Oakland team that folded down the stretch in 2014. It's nowhere near over yet, but it must feel real good to be on this other side of it in 2025.

Lucinda Williams - Righteously

Ah, thank you for the clarification. Last year Youtube TV did not carry "Reno's CW", which is a subchannel of ABC affiliate KOLO, and I did not have those games available at all. Since then Youtube TV did add that channel so I got to see Trent Bray cuss out his special teams live yesterday.

Your listings say "Authenticate with your TV provider to view games on The CW", but I don't think any live streaming is available. The CW's website says their ACC and Pac-12 football is "live on broadcast only". At some point they do make replays available for streaming.

I've been using Foxit for quite a while. Always seemed like a cleaner look than Acrobat.

You mention other ACC schools with branded beers and say North Carolina has one. Maybe the Tar Heels do, but the "UNC" referred to in your link is the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.
