scott- i called the sports column and they said that they would be unable to pick up the minnesota/michigan game this evening. so i resorted to calling that bastion of tastelessness in coralville, sluggers (have you seen their overstated storefront?). they looked up in their satellite guide and located tonite's game, but said that it is subject to a blackout, meaning that they will not know until gametime (7:00) whether or not they will actually be able to recieve the game. i will probably go to hell (slugger's, coralville) shortly before 7:00 and take my chances. if i were you, i would probably forget about trying to meet me as it is quite uncertain what is actually going to happen. jo
