See everyone tomorrow... as my grandfather used to say, "Now we get to see if we're cowboys, or we just found the hat."

Nope. Seems like a game time decision, as the paper copies will be available to the media in the booth at the stadium.

I have to miss the first half of game due to work, so if anyone feels the need to record the game and post to Youtube for later viewing, it would be greatly appreciated.
