As if it’s not bad enough that I have virtually no control over the big TV from September to January (at least not on Sunday’s or Monday nights…plus some Thursday nights), now the freaking affiliates are preempting programs for freaking Hawkeye games. I had to tape Joan of Arcadia a couple of weeks back because they aired it at 12:30am due to the basketball game. And this last Tuesday they preempted The Amazing Race because of a stupid basketball game.

And now tonight….oh tonight…I’m livid! On Channel 9 they are airing Capital One Bowl Pregame. Who gives a shit? And the people who do give a shit…they’ve been following the Hawkeyes all year and they don’t need this fucking recap. Plus, isn’t the game tomorrow. Put your fucking pregame on, hell I don’t know….pre-game. You know, as in just before the game starts….like tomorrow.

And guess what’s on CBS right now instead of Joan of Arcadia…the freaking St. Louis/Iowa basketball game. Come on people. Yes we are within a half an hour of the U of I. And, yes some of us even attended the UofI (or attempted in my case). But do we really need to watch every fucking basketball game? If we cared that much we would drive our lazy asses to IC and watch the fucking game in person. They are so lucky Joan is a repeat tonight or I would have to go all postal on their ass. I mean, isn’t it obvious I could use a little God tonight?

I’m seriously considering a strongly worded letter to the network. Bastards!
