The LG Sports Report: The Case For Not Watching Games In A Bar

I have about 12 posts up so far, and I haven't yet mentioned one of my burning passions: Villanova basketball.  I'll be quick about this, because I could go on all night and you're probably not too interested.  But I am. 

Villanova played DePaul last night ESPN 360.  That's a channel that you can only get with a special cable package, which I don't have.  Most of the men reading this think that they have a special package, but that one doesn't include ESPN 360 either. 

I was walking by a bar in my neighborhood yesterday and saw a Villanova banner hanging outside. I asked the barkeep if the game would be on. "Yes, not only will it be on, but we'll have the sound turned up." 

Non-sports fans: you might not understand this, but having the sound turned up on your game in a bar is a big deal. 

I like to have at least one picture with each of my blog entries.  Here's one for you.  This is the Villanova basketball rug that I have on the floor of my computer room:

And here's an exciting shot of the top of the bookcase in my bedroom (by the way, I know I need to get a high-quality camera rather use my Blackberry's camera...I'll get on that):

I met my friend Dan (also a Villanova grad) at the bar at about halftime.  Our team was comfortably up on DePaul, but I was not comfortable in the bar.  Dan and I were the oldest people in there by about 25 years.  We were as out of place as Paris Hilton in the Yale library.   

I am getting old (so is Dan, but I won't drag him down with me...) 

I can't go out to bars like I used to, and I certainly can't mingle with the young crowds like I used to.  I'm now the Old Guy who repulsed me in bars when I was a Young Guy.  Maybe I should get a sweatshirt that says "I'm only here for the ESPN 360 package, don't hate me."
Thankfully, Villanova won by a wide margin.   

I'll watch the games at home for now on.  I'm usually the youngest one there...
