KevinKugler, co-host of “Unsportsmanlike Conduct” on Omaha’s the Zone (KOZN 1620AM), is in Beijing, China to broadcast the play-by-play coverage of Team USAMen’s Basketball Medal Round games, as well as the Gold Medal game regardlessof the participants, for Westwood One Radio.Kugler,who also provides play-by-play for Westwood One’s coverage of college football,baseball and other college sports, is writing a blog from Beijing atKevinKugler.blogspot.com. A snippet from a recent entry:“We ventured out today to the largest electronics store Ihave ever seen,” said Kugler, shown at left at the Great Wall. “14 floorspacked with everything from laptops to wireless Internet cards. You want it?They probably have it in this 14-story market. Strangely, laptops in China arepricier than in the states. Most of the consumer goods, it seems, are cheaperhere, but laptops that normally cost 1500 in the states can run upwards of 3000USD here.“Considerthis blog, though, a plea. If there's one thing we NEED in the Omaha/Lincolnarea, it's a 14 story electronics superstore. Who will be the brave Nebraskanto step up and provide our state with a necessity like that?”
