And then? You gonna keep everyone hanging for two days?

Reminds me of growing up in the 1970s and 80s and actually calling Dial-It national sports news a couple of times because I couldn't find out a score. 900-976-1313.

I also remember running out to the mailbox at about 6 AM on Sunday mornings after doing some chores on our dairy farm so I could see the results of the previous night's college and the Friday night basketball games from around the state.

The thing that really stuck with me was the first time I went to a summer basketball camp at a state university and finding out they had ESPN (UWSP) on in the breakroom in the dorm. This was about 1984. I just remember thinking "This is what heaven must be like. This can't be real. A station that does nothing except shows live sports and highlights over and over."

I don't know why, but your post reminded me of that time in my life. 

OMG... newspaper box scores and CNN Sports tonight on Sunday night to see highlights of the Packers. Sporting News for baseball leaders. Sports Illustrated actually mattered, and sports was never political.

Growing up in the Town of Rome (Nekoosa schools) meant cable didn’t exist until about 1985. Our first VCR was a Betamax with a β€œProud Sponsor of the 1984 US Olympic Team” sticker on it. Renting a video for the first time...

I ran a couple of cross country meets at Nekoosa. My high school basketball team (Wild Rose) also played at Necedah and Port Edwards was in our conference.
