Thank you loyalticatfan, I just speak from the heart, sniffle, sniffle .
HalfTheDistance, your suggestion is perfect. Sit around in the living room just like the old days a la Foster Hewitt. The kids will try to pull a “Bounty” without the flickering blue light, but it should be fun.
I remember the 90's, blackouts were common, or even games just not televised, 12,000 fans at the game. TSN has helped put this league back on it's feet. I'm sure they're not impressed blacking out one of the largest markets for their signature "Friday Night Football", Having said that, I'm not leaving a 40 year Ticat tradition in my Family like some... but I do question the thinking.... I can't make tonight's game, and now I can't PVR it to watch when I get home.. so be it...
Are you crazy? This blackout is BS! They shouldn't blackout any games. This team is terrible. As far as I'm concerned the tickets should be free until they put a consistently half decent team on the field. They have the right to blackout the game, but it will only hurt them in the long run. Die hards will always be fans, the fence sitters will find something else to do though. Scott Mitchell and co. are a bunch of baboons!
