KSR's Christmas Eve & Christmas Sports Viewing Guide
Merry Christmas Eve, Big Blue Nation! The weather outside is still pretty frightful, but the sports on television this weekend are so delightful. Whether you’re stuck inside or making the trek to grandma’s to be stuck inside, here’s what’s on TV to keep you entertained in between presents and meals.
CHRISTMAS EVE
College Football
EasyPost Hawai’i Bowl, 8 p.m. (ESPN)
Warm up with the one bowl game on this weekend, the EasyPost Hawai’i Bowl. Tonight at 8 p.m., Middle Tennessee State takes on San Diego State at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex in Honolulu.
NFL
There are 11 NFL games on Christmas Eve, many featuring former Cats. Here’s hoping YouTubeTV will allow me to keep the Nashville market when I log in so I can watch the Titans vs. the Texans up here in Danville.
