I'll tell you what really sucks - the lack of a radio affiliate in Fairfield County - for football and hoops - I don't mind listening to games, but reception of 1080 in Norwalk is usually iffy at best

Am I correct that Cablevision subscribers have zero options this weekend? Im trying but it doesnt seem that Cablevision is an option for ESPN3
 
You mean all you guys didn't buy a cable to connect your computer to the TV weeks ago?
 
Yoooo! its not even on ESPN3! This is what is on ESPN3 at 2pm on Saturday
« ESPN3 College Football - Massachusetts vs. Miami (Ohio)Watch

WTF???!

Fair enough, but I think you know the danger of assuming things. I disagree with your observation, but I also don't have the data. I do know that UConn football is much more accessible on television during the course of a season starting with 2010, than it ever was prior.

We still ahve played more games on Wednesday nights, than we've had home games Saturdays at 3:30pm EST, and that's a problem. Just being on TV isn't good enough, it's about when and how you are on TV too.

No, no, no. I did not make an assumption. I made an observation. Two entirely different things. I have given you the basis for my observation, and you are welcome to confirm or disprove it, but an observation does not become an assumption merely because I don't have a day to spend going back and finding data on line.e I

I am a cablevision customer, but I don't have a problem logging into ESPN3.

And, if you don't get it, the odds are very high that if you go to first row sports there will be a link you can use to get the broadcast. But I don't think you will know that for sure until game time.
 
Just to clarify: I'm not allowed to post without proving that UConn's TV situation is worse than other BCS schools, but the lawyer is allowed to lecture me on how I don't have facts...even though he doesn't have the time/will to find facts, either.

Pot, meet kettle.

And to clarify - I'm not saying that the games need to be on Directv type stations. they could find a way to get this game on PBS or cox sports tv or whatever the heck else and I'd count that and be happy with it.

If you are telling me that LSU or FSU play games that cannot be seen on televisions, that would come as a tremendous surprise to me.

Sorry though - I'll ask your permission next time before voicing my opinion without researching a full thesis.

I feel like this is going to still be on at the sports bars. Last week a good friend of mine told me the Auburn game was ONLY on ESPN3 and they still showed it at Buffalo Wild Wings. Maybe I'm missing something, though.

Businesslawyer demands a lot from his fellow internet message board users...get on board or prepare to be lectured

I think you are screwed. Your internet provider has to be on board. I have Cox and ESPN3 and before they signed on Cox wasn't an option.

Sean -- with all due respect, I know you're wrong. It's that simple. Rutgers, to take the best example (because of their geographical and developmental proximity) has averaged probably 2 to 3 games a year over the last few only on the internet. We've averaged about one. So I am not trying to compete with you over research grants -- I'm just telling you that we have a high percentage of games on TV compared to our peers.

That's all.

I think your friend was wrong...the Auburn game was on a number of stations depending on where you were. It was even on Gameplan.

Here is the link to the TV schedule. In Atlanta, I watched it on a local station (during breaks in the UConn game of course)

Auburn game was on MSG.

Do you think our football program (and all the other Big East football programs) and our fan base is such, that the broadcasting reach,availabilty,extent that you describe is warranted?


How you answer that question - will go a long way, as to what you will accept to be a good deal, when the new broadcasting deal is finally done.

I love Big East football, but I also live in the real world. This game is controlled by the MAC, so unless you think all of the MAC's games should be broadcast on national TV I really don't see what your point is

nbe games are going to be national so a mac game isn't much of a stretch. at least get it on in ct.

Well, I can tell you that FSU did in fact play a game against Murray State that was only available on ESPN3. As was their game against Savannah State. Imagine, TWO games only available on ESPN3.

The answer to that question is self-evident. When you play in a league with 7 conference games you are always going to be on the wrong end of scheduling. You have more demand in a market that lacks supply.

You really don't get this, do you? If the answer to something we don't like isn't "someone did something stupid," you have the wrong answer.

I believe if you are an ESPN Insider you can access ESPN3 through ESPN with no need to confirm your internet provider. My son had it set up already and I did not go through the process but I know I get ESPN3 without any login process.

Just to test I went to ESPN3.com and within a few clicks I was watching cricket.

There are 120 FBS football programs currently, and there will be 124 in a few years. Non BCS teams are desperate for guarantee games. There is no reason to schedule a 4 year home and home with Buffalo.
 
So it's definitely not going to be on at a bar? I could be wrong, but i could have sworn the Buffalo game last year was only listed for espn3 but was on at bars.
