Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

Yeah, good game. The inversion was so bad that I gradually lost over-the-air reception to FOX, so I ended up listening to it on the internet. Supposed to snow during the last half of this week, which will improve my tv reception.

I had the same problem!!! it was driving me nuts-kept freezing at key points. I thought it was just my antenna going on the fritz. Now I think it is a conspiracy to try to force up to pay for cable or satellite.

If you lose reception again, you can just watch on http://atdhe.net/

You can watch every NFL game, every week, as long as you download their player (Vettle is the best one). Plus, you can watch a lot of German commercials instead of the dumb American ones- commercials are a lot easier to ignore and a lot more enjoyable when you have no idea what they are saying. I've watched multiple games every week from that site.

Other than it being illegal, that's a great idea.

Paul and I couldnt even watch the BCS bowl games, not having cable tv-unbelievable we couldnt even watch the title game. And my ISP is qwest, which has no agreement with espn.oh well just pud teams anyway. the TV better work this weekend or I will splice off my neighbors cable in the middle of the night and run it over the fence into my house. just kidding, internet cops!!!

Scott- everyone can watch ESPN games on ESPN3.com. That's how I watch MNF and last night's BCS game.

From Scott Ensign on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 13:16:56 from 129.123.3.84

Jon, unfortunately, almost everyone can except qwest internet subscribers. for some reason qwest hasn't bought into espn3 so no go for me. if I had comcast I could watch it. oh well.
