So after pondering writing stuff a couple of times for telling you guys what is up with our plans... I realized it makes more sense to like.. use this newfangled ShackCast thing instead so I'll just go with that. You know?

Lastly, ctrl-f5! Most of you girls should already have the updated CSS but just to be safe hit that one time on your browser to purge the evil old CSS. You'll notice a little header bar we added that is used for dumb headlines and a few links but will also sometimes have random stories in there we want to highlight.

i got an a/v receiver a couple of weeks ago + 5.1 surround sound

oh yes

the fact that Fox runs stadium sound through the surround sound channels makes football even better. i didn't know that was possible!

  also: is the fox signal a little squirrely for anybody else or is TWC being crappy like normal?

      Pretty good receiver considering its features and the price (I have one too). Just make sure to put it in a well-ventilated area and don't put anything on top of it 'cuz it likes to get extremely hot.

  I really need a new receiver/speaker setup, but gosh I'd need to spend for wall-mounted stuff and I'm bad at that and I need to find a friend who does professional setups and make him do mine for free
