So today I really wanted to catch that Gettysburg High football game but couldn’t remember when it was on or where to watch. Here’s exactly what I did to figure it out step by step.
Starting With Zero Info
First I grabbed my phone around lunchtime thinking “Crap, was it tonight or Friday?” Didn’t trust my memory so I texted Bobby whose kid plays linebacker. He texts back “Yeah tonight dummy, but no clue when” – super helpful.
The Annoying Search Part
Hopped on my laptop typing “Gettysburg High football” into that popular search engine. Got ten different pages about last season’s scores – total waste. Then tried the official school website which was even worse: nothing but cafeteria menus and PTA meeting notes. Seriously?
Social Media Saves The Day
Remembered the coach sometimes posts updates on that blue bird app. Scrolled through Coach Wilson’s feed for 15 minutes like a detective. Found his tweet from yesterday: “Kickoff 7:30 PM vs Lincoln High at our home field! Stream it on our partner network Channel 5.” Finally!
Double-Checking Details
Wanted to confirm though because last month his tweet said 7PM but game started at 6:45. Pulled up the Channel 5 local sports site on my TV browser. Yep – clear as day: “Live 7:30 PM: Gettysburg Eagles vs Lincoln”. Bookmarked that page so I won’t go through this circus again.
Now I’m set with potato chips ready on the couch. Game starts in 3 hours and I’ve got zero stress about missing kickoff. Moral of the story? Always check the coach’s social media before anything else!
