Question for digital geeks

This summer, after watching numerous Olympic events (in places with closed captions on the TV), numerous Preseason NFL games (in places with closed captions on the TV) and several auto racing events (in places with closed captions on the TV), I have this question for the digital geeks:​

How can the closed captions on numerous different broadcast systems and networks for many different athletic events repeatedly display the same apparent "garble": i.e. "ORDniah"?​
It doesn't seem likely that "ORDniah" is the only electronic garble generated by signal deficiencies or interruptions. Does it have some other significance?

IU Tailgate Tickets for UCLA Game

I logged on the LA chapter of the IU Alumni Association to see if they were doing anything for the game. They are hosting a tailgate at 2:00. It is on the neighboring golf course. It is only $30 per person and includes food and drinks including beer and wine so not a bad deal. From what I can tell 600+ have signed up. You can sign up through their facebook page:

IUAA Los Angeles Facebook Page

or through the IU Alumni Assoc,, Kay Terrell at akterrel@iu.edu or 812-855-1171. Sign up deadline is August 30th.

Getting psyched not that football season is here. I am staying in Pasadena. It would be nice to find a local bar to meet up with some IU people on Friday night.
