Speaking of next Saturday.  Does any one know when the TV coverage will 
be announced?  I know that Gary Fead had some prior information but I 
was looking on the BIG network website and still don't see the 
announcement or programming updates.  I just would like to see the first 
two games on the BIG tv schedule.  Thanks!
