...at least in Brussels. I would never want to get into a debate with someone as to who the biggest University of Georgia Bulldog fan is, but I think Kyle definitely wins the prize for the biggest one in Brussels. I have rarely seen Kyle get this giddy about something. First, he was planning where to watch the UGA vs. Boise St. game. Keep in mind that with the six hour time difference, the game was not even going to START until 11:30 pm, but that was of no concern to Kyle. He had the bar planned out, he was going to talk to the manager ahead of time to reserve a place to watch the game (keep in mind that American college football ranks below ANY cricket, rugby or soccer game over here), he had talked to other guys about who would go, and he had read every sports page relating to the game.
And then the bad news came...we would not be able to get the game on the American Military Sports Network that we had originally thought would show it. Kyle was distraught. So distraught that he got out of bed at 1 a.m. last night to brainstorm SOME way to get the game. He was a determined man and this was the only thing on his mind. And finally, he came up with a plan...The Slingbox. Basically, Burt (Kyle's dad) goes to BestBuy and purchases a Slingbox. He will hook it up to his cable and internet connection at home in Dalton, Georgia. Kyle will download some software onto our computer, enter a password and voila, we will be able to watch the TV channels that are on the TV in Dalton. Personally, I am not 100% sure all of this will work, but Kyle is very hopeful. Keep your fingers crossed!
