Scheduling tougher opponents for Boise.. is not so easy. The big schools don't want to schedule "home and homes" with "smaller" schools (except occasionally for Hawaii) -- particularly the traditionally good ones who might beat them.

I am all for a playoff.. but, if the Gators win 2 in a row, I"m still getting a (mythical) National Championship polo, tee and cap (LOL!). P.S: The Patriots beat the Giants in the regular season last year. Point being: the only way to determine the true champion is a playoff. The winner...

Here is how I view the BCS... In 2006, Florida won the 1st of 2 NCAA basketball championships. If NCAA hoops picked a champion the same way as the BCS does, the national title game would have been Duke v. Gonzaga, 2 teams that did not even make the Final Four. Florida was ranked 3rd in the...

Thanks for the Correction.. Oops!!!!!!!!!!! It was the Fiesta bowl, but OSU beat Miam!!!!!!!!! Ohio State has been very good to my school (UF). In 1997, it beat Arizona State in the Rose Bowl to set UF up to win the national championship. OSU beat the Canes in the Fiesta Bowl title game...

To Sandra.. I am not a hero worshipper of Tressel and I see way too much college football to make my wife happy. I went to Florida. My wife went to Michigan. The comments above say it all. Ohio State had trouble moving the ball before Pryor took over. Ohio State held a very high scoring Penn...

Disappearing Scars.. " Being a Florida grad, I do not have the mental scars. I do recall Florida had their own Moby Dick- winning in Tallahassee, which they didn't do for a while before they eventually do it." Those scars disappeared when Florida beat FSU to win the 1997 title, 52-30...

Wow, Bashing Tressel.. 1 national championship and 2 consecutive title game appearances doesn't get him a pass? As I recall, Ohio State hired Tressel because they couldn't beat Michigan. Tressel turned that series completely around and everyone is turning on him because he (finally) is...

Hang in there.. I hope for everyone's sake that the waters recede soon. Anyway, it cannot hurt to take your belongings and leave for awhile. The price for being wrong is much smaller than the other way around. I always leave when they tell us to go when there are Hurricane warnings. my...

if your not hanging it on the wall.. DLP is the way to go. 1080p with Blue Ray, sweet. Why am I on line instead of watching? I have looked at the new Samsung TOC LCD's; spectacular!.

Checked the Receivers... Both receivers have the DVR, so its 4 seperate cables running to them. 5 lnb dish. I checked and I have have the HR 20 (the one that sometimes has problems) the new one is the HR 21 - 700. Again, thanks for the interest and help.

Separate Cables, no splitters Both receivers have the DVR, so its 4 seperate cables running to them. 5 lnb dish. I need to check the receiver models; I think i have the 20 and the new one is the 21. But, I will check at home later. Meanwhile, thanks for the interest and help.

No Splitter.. The system worked well for a year and a half; the problem developed last month. Maybe it has to do with the installation of the new receiver. The channels on "103" will come back on after awhile. To the experts: is that a multiswitch issue? Why would the multiswitch work...

Good idea.. I will try it and report back. The dish alignment problem can bre eliminated (in my case). Parenthetically, I did not say it was happening "across the board to all users of 103." But, it is hapenning to a number of people in this thread.

Similar problem.. I have had a similar problem to: "(I still have my locals - - ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, HDNET, DHT, HBO). All of the HD channels have always came in fine until last week. From the limited knowledge I have, I believe that the missing channels are on the 103 bird. I am getting the...

Sorry, Ice that you lost your job. That is rough and stressful. I wish you luck and blessing in finding something new. It seems to me that there are alot of people out there (me included) that need help with all kinds of things electronic (e.g. setting up wireless computer network at home...
