Very reasonable post Don.

Glad to see you are getting all but 5 games this year.   I know we had discussions in the past about the # of games you were getting and alternatives we had.  I used to get the Sports Package on Rogers which was great (got 80% + of the games and all conference play) until the ACC network came to be and they did not pick up those games.   I got the package this year so I will at least get 6 ESPN games and I imagine a handful more.    The Bell Package was showing an ACC network game the other night, so I take that as a positive sign that they will pick up ACC network games this year hopefully.

There was a time around 2005 that I would head to a seedy strip joint in north Toronto to catch Syracuse ESPN games, because I knew they were catching ESPN illegally and they would accommodate me with the TV at the bar every time as long as I bought a few beers.   It was a joy when the College Package finally came out in the 2005/06 season I think..  (or perhaps it existed before then and I did not know about it)

There was also a time I much more enjoyed the NCAA product because of the atmosphere.    I just follow it less -- in fact I follow most sports a little less as I sometimes watch or do other things.

We all have things at different levels of the totem pole which keep us more engaged / less engaged with Syracuse.   Whatever each person's stance is, it is reasonable.
