What a game!

I’m blogging from a pay-per minute internet terminal in the lobby of the Sahara hotel in Las Vegas. Just got back from the BYU-UNLV game. Comeback victory in OT. There were a lot of BYU fans there, and it was great to se BYU pull it off at the end.

    Man, now there’s a dedicated blogger … blogging in a pay-per-minute internet booth.

    Dang it!! I was watching that game, and then we went out with the kids to the store. Had I known it was going to turn out that way, I would have stayed home and watched it.

    No kidding. I like to blog but not THAT much!

    It didn’t cost much to blog that. The internet terminal charged $0.35 per minute, payable in dollar increments. It cost me two bucks to check my e-mail, check some headlines, and post that blog entry.

    I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to set up an e-mail-to-blog interface that would let me post a blog entry via e-mail from my cell phone. If anyone’s gotten that to work, I’d be interested in hearing about it.

    Eric, you might want to check out this post, http://myburr.com/archives/000127.html, on my friends blog.

    It talks about how to do exactly what you described … post a blog from your cellphone.

    Oops, that link doesn’t work because MT interpreted that comma as part of the URL. Take off the comma and it will work.

    What did you think of the BYU-Wyoming game? I went to school in Wyoming and was there the last time they won and ripped out their own goalpost (about 6 years ago). There are insane fans in Laramie.

    It was a fun game because I watched it with about 10 BYU fans and got some good gloating out of the outcome.

    The BYU-Wyoming game (like several others this season) was a game that BYU lost because of stupid mistakes.

    In fact, near the end of the fourth quarter of the UNLV game, when BYU had to score a touchdown to tie, I turned to my cousin and said, “I have no doubt that Matt Berry can lead the team down the field to about here [pointing to the 20-yard line] and then throw an interception.”

    He almost did — but he didn’t. And that made all the difference.
