Anyone who has the right level of services with their provider will be able to watch the game on their computer, tablet or phone at no charge.

And finally, That Certain Dartmouth '14 called last night from Washington State where she "flip-flopped" to try to dodge wildfires and continue her Pacific Crest Trail hike. She reported about still more closures ahead of her and thick, acrid smoke that has locals wearing bandanas across their faces. With fires behind her, fires or closures dotting the trail ahead of her, and day after day of hiking through smoke, she's disappointed and running out of options.I may be biased but I think after making it through near historic snows in the high Sierras and more than 100 nights on the trail it seems like piling on to have to deal with the fires in the part of the PCT she was most excited about hiking. To be sure, it's nothing compared to the natural disasters in Texas and looming in Florida, but I can appreciate her frustration.
