Yep, some places did, most apparently didn't.

Even the ones that got switched back seem to have missed about one-half
the final minute.

Boy, if UK had lost-- they were up 3 and at the FT line right before The
Blackout-- Greyhound would be rollin' in dough tonight, and the NYPD would
be sweatin' like fools.

There's a bunch of "n**se" talk going around anyway.

Complete with talk of picnic-style arrangements.
