Now true stories from the field doing high school football and basketball (here in West-by God-Virginia):

What do you mean the phone line is not installed?  We ordered it a month ago?  Oh, that's why the telephone guy was here, he mumbled something like "no pairs" and left

Do you have internet?  Well, yes we have wireless,  The AD has the password, but he's not here this week...

Telephone? yea back in the coach's office--got about 300 feet of wire?

OK we'll go cell--how's the reception? Well, it depends. If you stand over there by the window you can get a few bars--oh that's A.T. & T--they don't have a tower around here...
