Brother;
I had started a thread a few weeks ago (here: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...78#post1497078 )

But since this is newer we can go with this.
If there is a Mod lurking around, please merge them

I'm a little pissed. Apparently a few of the games, including the one on Saturday for Michigan, are going to be broadcast on this Big 10 network. WTF. Pretty much NO ONE has this network.

I knew the list of people who have this network was exclusive when the sideline reporter said my name during a report.

Seriously though, F'ing Michigan, way to go, blowing the season on the first day.

I agree, sort of, with you.
Was at the Blood bank where there are no TV's so missed the game.
I read this:

and still do not understand what happened.

All one can say is "On any giving day..........."

Versus (whatever that is) has the Badger game on for me tonight - I don't really understand why but I am not going to question it.

Hope you found the game. Versus is a national cable network. It used to be called The Outdoor Life Network, but changed it's name a few months ago.

We aren't affilliated with them exactly, but their master control point is in the same building we are.

We originated a short halftime report for the game (UNLV is one of our Mountain West schools), which must have been a great one from what I heard.

The cable/satellite carriage of these game is likely to get worse before it gets better. Fans really do need to gang up on their cable/satellite providers because the conferences are going ahead with more of them.

Thank you Michigan for helping everyone to forget about OU-Boise State.

As a former OU Dad, I can agree with that, but at least everyone around here felt like Boise State was "for real" and had a legitimate chance last year.

Appalachian State certainly wasn't on my radar scope to upset Michigan, even with their impressive lower division national championships.

What I hope is that this kind of game will get some attention in the big conference schools who schedule these teams that they think will be sacrificial lambs in the non-conference season just to generate big stats and impressive numbers early.

Wishful thinking on my part, I know.

It'll still be Nebraska 221 -- Mississippi School for the Blind and Deaf -7.

Of course, you can fill in a lot of names in place of Nebraska, but the Husker Nation (again, fill in the blank in place of Husker) will still go crazy as if the game was for the National Championship.

Who do we hate?

Boise State

I was pretty shocked that the Vandals even scored against USC, wtf was going on in Southern California that the Vandals scored, let alone against USC (sorry amycat).

Screw the BTN, I'd rather listen to it on the radio and follow along online then watch some low budget public access channel. I always watch the big games in a social setting but games against teams like Ap state, EMU, and CMU arent worth it. Even if Michigan loses.

However, I'd imagine that more local cable companies will pick the channel up next season after the Big Ten keeps some marquee games for themselves.
