I really wanted to be able to reach through the TV...
on a side note...this is why there should be tryouts to sit behind the announcers. It doesn't bode well for anyone (Universities or TV producers) to have "that" sitting in the distance.
This is case-in-point of what happens when big time donors don't want to get out in crappy weather and go to a game and decide to be nice and give an employee who otherwise couldn't make it the opportunity to enjoy a UT bball game.
