Why the Smu/Marshall game is not on TV.

Postby Special_Delivery_Smu_Fans » Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:40 pm

Sorry if this has already been posted. Just found out about an hour ago why the Smu/Marshall game is not on TV. Marshall was approached by CBS College Sports to show the game with one catch, they had to move the kickoff to 6PM Dallas time. Marshall refused to move the kickoff. You would think to get one of their games nationally televised they would have moved it. Oh well.

Why would you not be willing to push your game back 2 and a half hours

so your team could be on national t.v.?

There's a joke about West Virginia not having enough electricity to power the stadium lights just waiting to be made...

That is the most ridiculous excuse to keep a nationally televised loss off tv.

Go SMU! Beat Marshall!

I would imagine the stadium is already reserved for a Monster Truck show or something after the game. Probably a 2-fer deal with a game ticket.
