Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to this season starting.

I like ESPN3, they archive the games so you can watch them later.

And just to get out ahead of the people who are going to complain about this being on ESPN3, this season is still part of the old Big East TV contract for football. Next year is the beginning of the recently signed deal, where very few games would be on ESPN3. If we were in CUSA, a game vs a FCS opponent would not be available anywhere (legally).

Still better than this.

Man, just thinking about that gets my mind right for football.

"Must win" game on national TV. Since this the kind of opponent JJ wanted, there is zero excuse for him to not have the team fired up and for us to not win the game.

What does that even mean? There is zero excuse for him not to have the team fired up for any game. Sounds like you think there could be an excuse not to have the team fired up for some games? Why is that?

It's not on national TV. It's on the internet.

[SMU 86]

Only 2 games on TV and 1 on the internet? Seems we got more than that in CUSA. SMH.

They've only announced a few games so far. More should follow...

Hmmm

Do your local TV stations pick up your games? ESPN3 is actually really great because like how it was said before, you can re-watch the game at any time. I do wish though that Max Media could have picked it up for us here. I promise this game will be well-watched in any case.
