Fever

I was on vacation last week. With the help of my DVR, I was able to watch the first two games of the WNBA finals between the Minnesota Lynx and the Indiana Fever. I recorded Game 3 Friday night. I didn't have time to watch it before leaving for Pennsylvania Saturday morning, so I deleted it. I read the recap of the game.

At the start of Game 3, the Lynx and Fever had the series tied at 1 game a piece. Game 3 was won by the Fever 76-59. Game 4 took place on Sunday night. Just an hour before the game started, I finished the USATF 50 Mile Championship/Tussey Mountainback in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania. Just before dinner, the guide on the TV said that Game 4 of the WNBA finals would be on ESPN. I wanted to watch some of the first quarter before leaving. I turned it to the ESPN channel and the game wasn't on. Instead was an NFL wrap up show. Highlights of the NFL games were being shown and talked about. The NFL program was still on 10 minutes later and none of the other ESPN channels were carrying the game. I decided it was time to go eat dinner.

I was really tired after dinner. When we got back to the hotel, I washed up and went to bed. I read the next morning that the Fever defeated the Lynx 87-78 to win the WNBA title. I was disappointed that I didn't watch a single minute of the last two games. I was hoping the Lynx would win the game to force a Game 5. I just wanted to watch one more game between two fantastic teams. With women's college basketball starting soon, I shouldn't have to wait too much longer for some exciting games to watch.
