A very cool thing happened last week that I haven’t mentioned. You’ve heard me mention in years past our local high school football team, the Cy-Fair Bobcats. I mentioned them a lot last year as my stepson played for them and of course running back phenomenon Sam McGuffie became a YouTube star last year based on plays like these. McGuffie and the Bobcats caught the attention of ESPN and last Thursday night ESPN2 aired the game between the Cy-Fair Bobcats and Cy Falls Golden Eagles live! Unfortunately the game aired live when I was on the plane to Vegas but good buddy and mobile maven Kevin Tofel stepped in and DVRed the game for me. He gave me access to his SlingBox and I am sitting in a Starbucks in the Mandalay Bay watching the game over EV-DO which absolutely rocks! Here’s what I am seeing:
The video quality is great and even though our Bobcats lost Mr. McGuffie had 175 yards rushing which was fun to watch. He wasn’t even the top rusher in this game if you can believe that. I am very impressed with the SlingBox video quality and feel another purchase coming on since I’m winning in Vegas. :)
Special thanks to Kevin for doing this recording for me and especially for holding down the fort on jkOnTheRun by himself in my absence. Kevin is a super friend and a great mobile guy in his own right! I’ll be back soon dude!
