I'm a spousal tag along to a business meeting in Palm Springs. I've been to about a dozen bars (that look sort of sporty), and fewer than half even know what I am talking about when I say PAC-12. For the first question most either don't understand or lie, but then they can't deal with the second and third questions.

On the positive side I've found some with Time-Warner and Dish but it's still not clear. Does TW have a sports pac past the basic, and is that where the PAC12 would be? One place looked ahead to Saturday night for me, but we couldn't see Bears. I've heard about overflow channel; am I going to see Bears there, or will it be some SoCal version with Bruin field hockey?

Same basic questions for Dish. I'm going to go back to the Dish place and try to get them to look ahead for me. If I get anything that looks like solid information, I'll post it here.
