10.28.08 NBA, FOOTBALL TONIGHT…BUT NO BASEBALL

For those hoping to see the baseball season finally come to a possibly-soggy end, I have bad news: Game 5 won’t be played until tomorrow. Philly’s quest for a championship has been delayed at least one more day by Mother Nature, who, if she were an actual mother, would probably have been booed, beaten, and gang-raped on the concourse of Citizens Bank Park last night. Hey, those fans love their Phillies!

But there will…hey, get back here! There will be some college football tonight. It’s MAC and Conference USA, sadly, but it’s football on a Tuesday! Buffalo at Ohio start first (7 PM, ESPNU) and then Houston takes on Marshall at 8 (ESPN2). I know, that’s maybe one step above watching electric football, but Houston’s 3-0 in their conference, and I hear Marshall’s coach is dating Kate Hudson. So that’s something.

And oh yeah, the NBA starts tonight. There’s a doubleheader on TNT if you stay up for it. Cleveland is at Boston at 8, and then the Lakers host Portland at 10:30. It’s a fair night for sports, considering it’s a Tuesday and I got Drew’s book about a month before any of you did. Oh, and I hear they are, in fact playing hockey this year…that’s nice.
