I'm enjoying the UH-UCLA game on Fox Sports and they have been heavily promoting next weeks SMU-UTEP game. So far I like the deal and being able to see the team on Saturdays. :D

Must be a regional thing but I have seen no mention of SMU/UTEP. I am on dish 444 (alternate channel) for HD so that may be the reason. Good if Dallas area is being advised. Hope they go to the game however instead of watching Fox.

Dish 416 is the non-HD channel that showed the game (now showing ECU game). They did some good SMU advertising for tomorrow as well as UTEP. I am glad they are promoting the fact that SMU is on TV, but I wish we could slip in an ad or two about buying tix to the game.

Fox Sports has definitely stepped up their game, but they have a long way to go to emulate the quality of an ESPN broadcast.

I'm loving Gus Johnson on the Tulsa - OU game. My favorite announcer.
