I'm a big UT baseball fan. They don't show many of the games on TV, but with today's technology, there are all kinds of ways to bring the fan closer to the team, right?

Let's start with the old favorite of baseball fans everywhere, the radio. KVET-AM carries every game, so it's not a problem. Except I live too far out, and the night games don't come in. I even bought a radio that is specially designed for long-distance reception, but it doesn't bring in KVET-AM at night.

Okay, well, I'll just log on to their web site and stream the game. Except that they don't stream the games, for unknown reasons, but the site seems to indicate the university made that decision.

The good news is, they now have video cameras at every home game, and you can watch them through the TexasSports.com web site. Is it as good as a regular TV broadcast? I don't know, because it won't work on my Mac. I found a link on the site that basically says click here for all the latest video and audio for Mac users. I click on it, then it says Page Not Found. I've emailed them, asking for assistance, but I haven't heard back and I doubt I ever will.

What does that leave? This seems sort of ridiculous, but my only alternative is to call the station on the phone and have them put me on hold. When you're on hold, you hear what's currently broadcasting. So, last night, that's what I did. It's not an unusual request. Other people on the outskirts of the city do this. But come on, this is the age of technology. I have to listen to a baseball game on my phone? In the fourth inning, my battery died.

Then, we lost.
