[NU Sports] TV story for this week

[Cynthia Dueltgen]

I went to the Stadium Pub a couple of times a few years ago before I got the
gameplan, and when I had friends in Walnut Creek. It's a really good bar to
watch the games at. But it's just as far from my house in Berkeley as any
bar in SF. A 30 minute drive to a bar for a 9am kickoff means I'm getting up
earlier than I go to work most days. I'd much rather just wake up and watch
the game at home. And I've got the tivo, so I can timeshift as needed.
 I've found the tunnel a breeze at 8:30 am on Saturday, not so much for the
return trip in the middle of the day. Often has a nasty backup coming the
other way. Which probably contributes to my reluctance. :) Not really any
worse than the bay bridge, but there are ways to mitigate that one.
