Finally the U has Come!

Ok, despite the title of the blog this has nothing to do with the University of Miami (affectionately called "The U" by its alum)...well, maybe it is slightly related. But it has more to do with a discovery that I made last night while channel surfing at home.

Being a regular Wednesday night before the fall TV season has started and the fact that the Red Sox had played a day game meant that I had nothing to watch last night. While laying in bed looking around for something worthwhile I happened upon ESPNU.

Let me let that settle in a little.

I happened upon ESPNU.

On my TV.

In my home and not at the local watering hole.

That's right boys and girls...ESPNU. The bane of my existence which has been known as RCN and their inability to provide ESPNU to me (see "Summer Musings" just a few short days ago) has been lifted.

The strange part about this is that no one seems to know that it was actually added. If you go to the ESPNU.com site and search for the local RCN channel in my area it still, as of this morning, says that RCN does not carry ESPNU at this time. I checked my past bills (where they tend to announce changes in channel line up) and there is no mention of the addition of ESPNU. There was no fan fare. It is not located anywhere near the other ESPN channels on the dial (it isn't even near to CSTV) so there was no reason for me to have noticed it where it was placed. And yet there it is all the same.

There is a happy Cam knowing there is one more channel I can flip to come Saturday. And a slightly less happy Mrs. Pike...knowing there is one more channel I can flip to come Saturday. But the best part will come next March, when I can watch the full college hockey playoffs.
