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.

I did get the game, it was great to watch and I was happy I got it. I think I've only gotten four Badger games since I moved out of Wisconsin. It was nice to be able to actually see the game instead of sitting on my deck with an AM radio.

You'll be able to see a lot more if you subscribe to one of the satellite services and Big Ten Network or get your local cable company to pick up the network.

(Although last night's game was on Versus because of our deal with the Mountain West Conference, so, you're welcome)

You'll also see a lot more Wisconsin basketball games and some of what they're now calling the "Olympic sports."

It's going to be good for some and bad for others until this thing gets sorted out.

Yeah, the problem is I get free cable at my apartment complex, so I really don't feel like paying for Dish or Direct. I call and write Comcast every week begging for the Big 10 but I'm not entirely hopeful that'll pay off.
