If you have followed us here for long you probably remember seeing this (and laughing at me):

This was the actual setup I was using last year to watch college football. Laugh at me no more. This weekend the wife and I headed to Sam’s Club where we finally got a real TV:
So what, after all these months, finally moved us to get a real TV? Was it lower prices due to the economy or technological advances? Sure, those played a role, but I blame my stepdaughter. See, a month ago, she let us borrow her 37-inch HDTV when she moved out, and we got used to having a big screen. Then, she said she needed to have it back. Seriously, we thank her for letting us borrow her TV (which she now has). :)
Sorry, I gotta go now. The biggest “Gilligan’s Island” rerun I’ve ever seen is due to start in a minute. I hear the Skipper is going to slap Gilligan around in this one.
