Default How much would you pay to watch the BYU basketball team?

At the new house, my best option for internet access is AT&T Uverse.

Installation is $150. But if I get uverse TV, installation is waived. Plus I get a $300 gift card for signing up.

Is watching BYU in December worth $450?

I think you may be able to guess what the answer for me was.

Are you saying AT&T Uverse doesn't have the BYU games?

Yes, that is what I am saying.

I could switch to Directv later, which I might do.

Why not befriend somebody in your ward boundaries who both has the games and the proper access?

You keep your benefit and have a new friend for it. Direct TV is a lot like planes and boats, I don't have either but have friends with both.

Because ALUFs and Zoobs are insufferable.

Okay, find a disgruntled Ag who also likes the Cougs willing to share with you.

All Aggies are disgruntled. That's redundant.

I can't stand to watch SD tv anyway. 5 years from now mtn will still not be in HD.

Perhaps we should just give up on basketball. The recruiting will never provide the athletic talent necessary to sport the type of team we'd like to watch.

UNLV might run away with the conference, but a team, absent a boatload of growth and improvement, which can't defeat USU in Logan won't win any Tourney games. The game sounded like an absolute abortion.

We're just not that talented, and Tavernari is too unreliable. Of course I'm stating the obvious.
