A little personal information today, if you will allow it. I just bought a new TV.

I have resisted the temptation to get the big-screen HDTV for several years now, but now that my wife and I have finally moved out of our tiny one-bedroom apartment, we decided it was finally time to give it a shot. After doing some research online, we went to HH Gregg this weekend and after hemming and hawing for about an hour (I am the most indecisive person ever when it comes to spending money), we decided on the newest member of the family - a 52' model that now proudly resides in our living room, taking up waaaaay too much space (I'm totally having buyer's regret - we should have gone a little smaller! That sucker is huge!).

Why am I sharing this info with you, you ask? Well, part of the reason (and by part, I mean like 99.99999% of the reason) I made the switch to the flat screen was so I could watch sports in HD, in particular the Hawks (and the Texas Longhorns, who hopefully will put it on the Ohio State Buckeyes tonight in the Fiesta Bowl).

As if on cue, SportSouth announced today they will be televising both the next two Hawks games in HD (that would be Wednesday's home tilt and Friday's road game, both against Orlando). Did they do this just for me? We may never know*.

Either way, I am excited to watch my first Hawks games in HD from the only place outside Philips Arena I like watching games - my couch.
