TV Remote back to hard work for Football Season

Boulder CO -- Area TV Remote, let's call him Al, has been put to work after the gentle punching of volume settings and Source selections required for watching Netflix shows all summer.

Colorado graduate student Hal is quite the football fan. Just two weeks into the season his team is in Nebraska for the current game. Hal could not drive there as he has some lectures to give to undergraduates in physics on Monday that he needs to work on.

His room mates are somewhere else, so it's just him and Al. Hal and Al today!

It went OK for one quarter, but then the slamming on the coffee table (Ikea) started. Ouch!

"I really don't need to be abused so hard that the batteries fall out at least once in a game," remarked Al.

At press time Al had gone to survival mode. Last year at this point Al begged one of the room mates to change fresh batteries and tape the plastic door shut for some control into his chaotic life.
