it begins tonight

I was extremely confused when I learned that Fox Sports would be handling tonight's Wake-Baylor broadcast. Way back when it was announced the game would be played on a Thursday, I distinctly remember it being remarked that this was to get national TV exposure, i.e. ESPN. What happened?

Not a big deal to some, but it is for me, who is bereft of any Fox Sports channel in his apartment cable line-up, and prefers not to spend three hours alone in a sports bar watching a game on a tiny screen that I alone give a crap about.

Worse, my internet sources are failing me. ACCSelect.com isn't carrying the same, and channelsurfing.net has links for NC State/South Carolina, Eastern Kentucky/Cincinatti and Oregon State/Stanford, but infuriatingly not Wake/Baylor. Argh!

Looks like I'm doomed for gametracker. Still, let's get the season started right with a win for the Old Gold & Black, whether mine eyes witness or not.

Sorry 'bout that. FSN Midwest is carrying it because we're in Big 12 country. The announcers are so biased towards Baylor, but they do acknowledge when Wake makes good plays. Gooooooooo Deacs!
