jimmer fever from 30,000 feet

thank goodness there is nothing currently worth watching on television right now because all of my focus the past weekend has been ncaa men's basketball.  been glued to the BYU men's basketball team and watching their success.  it has been fantastic to see jimmer play as well as all of the BYU players.  well done boys.  well done for moving the farthest a BYU team has ever gone in the tournament since it expanded.

after the win on saturday over gonzaga i was concerned about the broadcast timing of their sweet 16 matchup against florida.  the reason why is that i'm heading to utah this weekend to meet my newest nephew and attend the wedding of some good friends.  i fly out thursday night which is when the cougars are scheduled to play the gators. 

this morning i quickly located the time and broadcast network for the sweet 16 games.  my cougars are playing at 7:27 EDT on TBS.  quickly pulled up the delta website to determine if TBS is one of the satelite television networks available and learned that IT IS!  woot woot!  my guess is there would have been quite a few anxious individuals on my flight wanting to know the outcome of the game immediately upon landing or paying the ridiculous fee to obtain wi-fi access to watch on their phones or iPads whilst flying the friendly skies.  thankfully, i can view the game in its glory from 30,000 feet while enjoying a nice tall glass of water.

some of the awesome highlights by jimmer & co. versus gonzaga on saturday night:



just might start calling my oldest nephew "jimmer" instead of jimmy...
