College basketball season is well underway, and the only way I know this is by watching teams I could do without seeing. Kentucky's record so far is 4-1, and I have only gotten to see two of those games thanks to my "local" cable company.
Sure, at the begining of the season Kentucky plays "no name" teams but, fans still wouldn't mind watching it LIVE. Not to mention, one of the teams our "local" cable company decided Cat fans wouldn't really care about seeing was Morehead State, a Kentucky team, coached by a former Kentucky player, who by the way almost upset the Cats. How did I know this? No I didn't watch the delayed broadcast at 11:30pm, I had to listen to the radio. Did we slip back to the 1960's, when the only way to keep with Kentucky was mainly by listening to the radio? Yes, it's true you can watch a live feed on the Internet but, living in KENTUCKY we shouldn't have to stare at a computer, tablet, or phone screen just to see a game live. Every Kentucky and yes Louisville game should be shown live on basic cable, not to mention on the "sports package" customers pay extra for.
In closing, if this "local" cable company thinks Kentucky fans wouldn't care to miss the "no name" teams Kentucky plays. They need to watch Big Blue Madness, where 26,000 people pack Rupp Arena just to watch a one hour practice. Sad part is, that's the only way you get to see the most anticipated night of the year for Cat fans, because no doubt your "local" cable company will be showning it on delay.
