A favor, please, for my son in Baghdad--

[tblue37]

I have posted this in the Kansas forum, but I know many people all over the country are huge March Madness fans, so I am hoping that spreading the request a bit wider might produce results.

My son, who took his undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas, is in Baghad right now, and he is a huge Jayhawk fan. He is very excited about the Jayhawk win against UNC on Saturday, but as I don't follow sports (even though I teach at KU and often have the athletes in my classes, LOL), I did not watch the game-and did not tape it, either. He is absolutely desperate to see a tape of that game. Do any of you have a tape of Saturday's game, or do you know anyone who does? If so, would you be willing to make a copy for me to send to him? I would pay a reasonable price for it.

Thanks.

3. I'm sure you could get a copy from the athletic Dept.

[tblue37]

6. Maybe so. I don't know about how they do such things--

again, I have no interest in sports myself, so I have never thought about securing a tape of a game. I will call the Athletic Department tomoroow and ask about it. Thanks for the suggestion!

8. Athletic departments usually are pretty good about such things

11. Your welcome

They will most likely put it on a DVD disc rather then a tape.

Thank him for his service.

Peace to you.

5. I can't help with a tape, but...

If your son has internet access (and enough time), he can watch any game from the tournament online for free. www.ncaasports.com has a link (cbs.sportsline.com has the same link) on its front page that says something like "watch any game online, 100% free". I know it's not the same as a tape, and your son may not have the access time, but the games are there, at least, if he gets a chance. I used the service to watch part of a second round game live, but they archive the broadcasts, so he can go back and watch any game from any part of the tournament.

And, though it's not really that big a deal to me, I wish the Jayhawks good luck tonight.

7. I don't think he has more than a few minutes a day when he is able to go online, but

I will tell him that.

12. as a Tar Heel...

please let your son know that Kansas caused me mad anguish on Saturday !

he's stoked, that game is going to be a pleasure for him to watch over and over again... grrrrrrr :)

[tblue37]

16. Oh, I know he will watch in a lot. Sorry that you guys had to suffer for our win, though.

13. NCAA probably owns the rights and has tapes

http://www.ncaa.com/home/

if you can't get through to the organization, there is a forum and messageboard there. Probably someone would help you out.

14. You can send him my summary of the game:

Some dudes were like, playing ball and stuff. And then Kansas won.

[tblue37]

17. LOL! n/t

[blondeatlast]

15. Go, Jayhawks! I can't help with the tape, but I can kick this thread. nt

[trof]

18. Kick for help

Anybody?

[cally]

19. kick for help

I hope someone has it for you to send to your son. I don't watch sports.

[tblue37]

20. Thanks for keeping it kicked. I am amazed that peopel don't seem to have taped it!

I went to the CBS sports site, but all I could find there was a brief highlights video clip. I sent him the link to it. But I know he wants to see the whole game--even more than he wants to see tonight's championship game, beleive it or not, though of coruse he also wants to see that.
