[NU Sports] Two words for the Oklahoma State boosters

[Jonathan Hodges]

Don't fret, at least the "senior bowls" to showcase players for the NFL are
left; the East-West Shrine Game will be on Saturday 1/21 at 4PM ET on NFL
Network and will include Al Netter & Dan Persa on the roster.  At least
it's something, otherwise you'll have to resort to firing up replays of
games online or when they're on BTN.

(I watch a fair bit of NFL, but my favorite is using the RedZone channel on
Sundays during the regular season; although ESPN has a "Goal Line" channel
analog for college football, they only show ESPN-network games while RZ
shows all NFL games, and having such a channel would be awesome although it
is admittedly a pipe dream due to the scattered TV rights).
