TV games are bound to do more harm than good - especially if recruits/potential recruits tune in to watch the weekly debacle. Potential fans aren't going to pony up to watch that mess in person.

Actually, being on TV even CSTV is a selling point to recruits. The TCU/Stanford game may be on Mtn. if anyone in the world can get it.

FYI - Looks like the Stanford game is the first one not on TV anywhere. Since it is not a coonference game, it's up to the PAC-10. I think every game other than this one is on TV so this is the only game I won't get to see (either in person or on purpose). I'm fine with the TV deal...it's not great exposure nationally but it's actually pretty decent for the local fans. I think we forget that just a few years ago we might have only 2-4 games per year available anywhere on tv....now we have 10 or 11.

I do not recall the Wyoming game on TV. Was Baylor?

Stanford game will be a good one-too bad we can't see it.

According to their website, the Stanford game is the only one not on tv.

However, 3 of the games are on the mtn which is not national, and the last 2 games of the season are still listed as TBA as far as TV. I expect that means either Vs. or the mtn.

Correct - and I am certainly not trying to say our TV deal is anything great (Baylow was on Fox and Wyoming was on the mtn) but at least I can see all of the games (except Stanford).
