• There's a scroll for a tornado warning on all the broadcast channels, and Indiana-UCONN on a cable channel. So really it comes down to "what disaster do I want to keep tabs on?" - The Victoria Times - The Victoria Times
• OSU/PSU just went to commercial and the graphic showed Penn State 24, Ohio State 10, in the 4th quarter—I didn't drink THAT much last night, did I? Did I just black out for two hours? - ImaSaxist
