OT: TCU vs Utah MIA on TV

Postby PonyTime » Fri Nov 05, 2010 1:49 pm

College Gameday - check
Two top 5 undefeated teams playing head to head - check
Ability to actually watch game on most cable providers - ?????????????????

Seriously - I can watch Princeton vs. Penn or a replay of the 2010 NLCS - but not TCU- Utah?

This is the only TCU game I would have tuned in for all year - guess not...

I'm not really concerned about TCU getting good local recruiting publicity.

MWC should have known better than to shun ESPN the way they did a few years back

The game has been scheduled on CBSC for several weeks. Might be helpful to check it out before you post.

CBSC had the rights and I bet they would not part with them to ESPN

Who in the hell at the beginning of the season would think they would be 4 and 6

The Original Poster said "can't watch TCU on cable..." I pointed out that you could, indeed, and it has been clear that you could for several weeks. What is it about this that you can't understand?

Perhaps we are a bit behind the times here in Tennessee (and it is not as if I live in East TN - am in Nashville - a major market) - but this is not a channel that Comcast in Nashville provides with the expanded HD cable or even with the additional sports package which I also pay for. I can watch NFL redzone all day long - the Big 10 network, the Soccer channel - but no CBSC.

My point is that this SHOULD be a national game - TCU is getting screwed - and so are the fans that might want to watch the game. I will have to go to a bar with a Sat dish to see this one.

If I were a TCU fan - I would be much more ticked off.

As an SMU fan - I am ok - less PR for TCU.

76% of TV sets will have the game...if you want to watch it, you can.
