Thanks, that sounds like my kind of place... Love the trees, hills, hiking, all that stuff.

My last post was written like I'd been drinking (I haven't) and wasn't very clear. WOAI did have all the postgame when they carried the games last year... But you're right. When Spurs season started conflicting late in the year, the Cowboys got bumped off. :(

You're a long way from Texas, though... You could get WOAI even where you are?

I've heard this station *claim* that they're going to carry Cowboys games this year, but I haven't tried them yet. Maybe since they're new, they'll mess up and stream the games. :)

Thanks for the addition to the list. Yeah,your right about the distance from Texas,and I certainly couldn't get WOAI from here (Perhaps on the top of Wayah Bald during a weather anomoly). I have trouble getting the local station in the mountains,hence my subscription to XM Radio. I even lose them at certain points in the mountains! However that brings to mind a story I have about radio and weird things in the mountains....or was it something else??
I may have told this story before,perhaps on the "other board",but it's still kinda neat. My Father-in Law and I were the best of friends,sharing fishing experiences and love of the Cowboys. We would spend hours in a boat discussing anything Cowboys. We lost him after a rather short illness on the 1 year anniversary of 9-11. We had moved to the mountains about 6 months before that.
Fast forward a couple of years to a Sunday afternoon in the fall...Actually,it was a Commanders gameday,and I was going to catch the game on the internet via streaming later that day,since the game on the tube that day was,I believe the TB Bucs and somebody. I have to point out that until that day,I had not missed either listening to,or watching a Cowboy-Commander game since I started following the 'Boys in '61. This includes my vacation time,paid for by Uncle Sam,to various parts of Asia in the early 70's,thanks to Armed Forces Network. My record was intact.
We had company that afternoon,and I made sure they came early enough that they would,in most liklihood,be gone by kickoff (Tampa Bay fans!). She is confined to a wheelchair,and as her husband was helping her to the car,he accidentally let her slip and she fell,breaking her arm. She couldn't manuever herself into their car,so I got her into my wifes small truck for the trip to the hospital over 50 miles away. By the time I left the hospital a few hours later,I knew the game had to be over.
Heres where it gets real strange. I started going thru the channel selections on the radio (before my XM),trying to pick up anything local to get some scores,knowing for the first time in something like 40 years I would miss any or all of a 'Boys-Commanders game.While going up and down the AM dial,I said to my deceased father-in-law "Well Don,looks like the string is over,sure hope they won"...when a channel came thru,loud & clear, saying "Quincy Carter will hand off to his halfback to run the clock down to the two minute warning,with the Cowboys ready to secure this victory....This is the Dallas Cowboys radio network". I was stunned! I was actually picking up the very end of the game,from a radio station in Bryan-College Station. Most of the time,in the mountains,you won't keep a station for long if you are listening to regular broadcast radio,much less AM,but I listened crystal clear,all the way home,to the end of the game,post game,and locker room show. When the locker room show was over,I lost the channel! I know in my heart that I had a visit from my Cowboy buddy that day...He wanted to make sure I at least got to hear part of the game to keep my record intact. It was then that I knew he was someplace good,and was,in fact watching over us.
PS-On my mother-in -laws next visit to us,she brought me a box of VHS tapes of the games he taped over the years. Every so often,I'll pull one out and watch it. Strange,but true!

Thanks much, I appreciate it. Yes, I am one of those fools who would pay any price to watch the Cowboys, and I have DirecTV with the works. But unfortunately, there's still no package to see the pre-season games live. :( When is the NFL going to come to their senses and realize that people might be willing to pay for them, even if it's extra?

Edit: By the way, that's an awesome story ologan.

www.khoy.com , aka "Catholic Radio",although I sometimes feel sorta bad when a perceived transgression against my beloved Cowboys on the field is followed by a blistering string of profane invectives,only to be followed by a commercial for my eternal salvation

I have experienced that a time or two.

The Blue Star Media is the Cowboys broadcasting company. If any station in your local area indicates a presentation by Blue Star Media, it means you'll getting the Dallas Cowboys football game or something sponsored by the Cowboys. Some people in parts of Texas were concerned they couldn't get the Dallas game because something called BSM was showing something & so they called into DC.com to find out what was going on. Mickey Spagnola in one of his Cowboys shows has mentioned BSM several times to assure Cowboy fans it is the Cowboys and there's no fee or anything like that to see the game.

Unfortunately here in Florida, the only way I'll get info will be listening to either the ticket or WOAI on my computer so I can follow the game.

i just tested KHOY on the internet and it sure came in real clear. Now whether it's clear tonight when Cowboys are on is the big question. But admit it is lot better then the ticket.
