This quarantine thing is not fun anymore. At least the national sports channels like ESPN and Fox Sports are getting smart and re-airing classic games while looking forward to the end of this virus.
MLB Network
Recently, MLB Network has started airing classic games, especially on Wednesday. They call these days their Walk-Off Wednesdays which means they air games that end in a walk-off. Recently they had the 2011 NLCS game 5 between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. I remember watching this game in real time and couldn’t believe that we just did that. With re-watching it, I kept looking at all of the names that were playing and I’m like wow there are a lot of names I recognize and who aren’t on the team anymore.
Warhawk Football Schedule Release
Today, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team released their 2020 schedule. I know this got me excited not only for the fact that I know when I get to work for the television station, but also something to keep my mind off of this coronavirus. The team kicks off their season September 5 at Carthage College, while the home opener is September 12 against Concordia University-Moorhead. The Warhawks open WIAC conference play at Eau Claire October 3 while at Perkins Stadium against Oshkosh October 10. The Oshkosh game will be one of the biggest games, as it has always been.
I know there wasn’t a lot to this, but when it comes to sports during this time, there is really nothing going on. It shows how much we rely on all of these other activities while going out. This is a time where we can look and see how all of this is affecting us. I love this because it gives me time to look into the future and see everything that could happen while being there to take in all of the new information surrounding the virus. It is a struggle being at home without being able to go anywhere or do anything with my family and friends. We will come out of this stronger than ever and it will be amazing.
