State of Origin

May 23rd, 2005
Posted by kristy in: everyday life

Since gridiron really doens’t do it for us, Gerrod and I are very keen to see the 2005 State of Origin series. Slick has been kind enough to offer to record it for us and send it over for our viewing pleasure. Thanks Slick!

We might even host a maroons party and watch it with our Aussie buds. That said, PLEASE don’t send us emails about the outcome, or post anything to your blogs! Or if you’re planning to post a story, warn us not to read it! We’re starved for a few Aussie pleasures and really looking forward to the match! Go the mighty canetoads!

Kristy,<br><br>I thought they actually showed it there ? I have a mate in Dallas and he has seen it on tv before.

I couldn’t find it in TV guide, so unless it’s showed weeks behind schedule…

Well, it only took about 20 minutes of my day before Ian told me the score… but Kristy still doesn’t know, so please don’t ruin it for her too!

for the next game you should organise an upload, i could record it on my pc and convert to divx, you could then grab it off my machine.

OK, I’d defintely be willing to give that a whirl.

I was going to ask you how you wanted it. That would be faster than sending a DVD. Are you happy with DivX?

I think it was telecast live on "Sky Channel" in the US

Jason – Sure, DivX is fine by us…<br><br>Andrew – I don’t think we get Sky :-(

Turns out that the game was broadcast on Fox Soccer Channel. Unfortunately we found this out all too late – but at least we’ll know for the next time!
