Cable Tv?

So here in our family we do things the old fashioned way.  We don’t have cable TV, if we want to watch something then it better be on regular TV or else we won’t see it.  We don’t really watch much TV so it hasn’t been an issue.  We had to explain once to our dear friend Quin Kofford that he would not have to pay for TV in his new apartment once he got married.  We showed him how our TV worked and the channels we got.  He was amazed, he had no idea that people could get stations for FREE!

So back to the statement that is hasn’t been much of an issue.  Well the times when it is an issue is during college football season and the NBA (Jazz) season.  Luckily we have our bestest neighbors the Murdock’s who let us come over and watch the BYU football games whenever we want.  We invade their house and have such a great time watching the games.  Last season there were 2 Jazz games a month on regular TV.  It was very exciting on those nights because we could watch the game on our very own TV.

O.K. so now to my point.  ALL of the Jazz games are on cable this year, every single one of them.  This has caused quite the stir in our house.  This week Bryan has been researching cable.  Every night we discuss the prices and we come to the conclusion that it is a RIP OFF!!!  I mean, why should I have to budget money to watch TV?  Plus I don’t want my kids to want to watch TV.

Well this will continue with each passing Jazz game and we may end up being people who have cable.

Welcome to my life. No cable. I wouldn't change it though. I don't want cable

You could always buy seasons tickets to the Jazz games, and go to every byu game. Now that would be a bargain...I'm thinking cable is less moolah.
Ok, and shocker that Murdocks will let byu fans watch games at their home!
