College Sports

I was sitting in front of my computer screen, reading about the College World Series and getting a little sad that the Championship will end the college sports season until fall. My five year old was upstairs watching cartoons, when she called to me that something had happened to the TV.

Since it has been on the fritz lately, I figured, “Here we go again,” and went upstairs. But the TV was fine. TiVo had just changed the channel to begin recording something, a program it had picked up on from my list of keywords.

And that’s when I knew that college sports never really ends, it just goes into reruns.

Because there, in front of my eyes, was Peyton Manning, University of Tennessee, getting ready to take on Alabama, circa 1996.

Yes, CSTV and Tivo to the rescue!

CSTV (College Sports Television) runs old football games year round, but is starting to ramp it up to get us through the long, hot summer. And I say, Bring it on! And part of the fun of the old games on CSTV is that it is the entire original broadcast, complete with updates on scores from games that same day. OK, the commercials are current, but that is small potatoes.

Who needs to worry about the future, when you (with a little help from CSTV) can live in the past!
