Re: Bills Blog 10-25

My first thought was Boooo... I finally move back to NE AND am old enough to attend the founders reception, and though I did get to see it "live" the last two years, I was still looking forward to it as much as Christmas!!

But then reality set in and I realized I survived 14 years in FIRST without going to a Live Kickoff, and remembered that when I was in high school and college we used to send our team "adults" to the kickoff and would wait eagerly by the phone for kickoff to be over and stand by a FAX machine awaiting the fax of our next six weeks. 4-9 hours later we would have our KOP. I think while I was in college we watched it on a terrible buffering computer screen. Now we are spoiled with these huge broadcast rooms and a live audience to "interact" with, and a recording of the event so we can watch it as many times as we want.

Will it be different? yeah. But Im in the boat of lets wait and see what happens. Maybe it will save us all some $$, maybe it will be better quality, maybe there will be some surprises in store... who knows? Im sure we will find out soon enough.
