Lynn Rollins said on the local Lsu Radio show Tiger talk yesterday that every effort was being made by Jumbo Sports and CST to televise this weekends Regional at UCLA. Of course as we all know the logistics required to make this happen probably will be to big a mountain to overcome.

Lynn said if they bid, that it would go in at 12 today and we should know somthing probably later this afternoon or tommorow morning! He said he thought it was fifty, fifty! If the do bid it's the NCAA decision not UCLA's. So, hopefully they can perform a minor miracle and put CST in to a stadium that alot of Louisiana hight schools are better equiped to host a regional in!


So, maybe we can hold out some hope that somthing will still get done. But the more information I get about these horrible facilities I am begining to think we are all going to be tuned to the radio this weekend!

Including renting auxiliary lighting. No way those two strings of lights on each pole can support color TV for a night game.

I don't think the shittyness of the facilities will come into play, if UCLA makes it thru ESPN will broadcast the supers from there, so why not CST?

& cox broadcasts n Irvine, CA, so logistically they are already set up out there. Get it done Jumbo!!!

If UCLA wins this regional, they host a super regional - which would be televised on ESPN. If they cannot accommodate CST, they certainly would not be able to accommodate the world wide leader.

Every stadium selected to host must meet minimum NCAA standards to facilitate TV. Their press box can't be any worse than the Old Box.

In my mind, I'm already there.

I'm sure Ronnie Rantz is working on this as we speak. This is L.A. The media capital of the world. The production facilities are there. The question now becomes money. It's all about the sponsors now, not CST or Jumbo. If they get the money from the sponsors, it will happen.

Just got an email from CST. Keep hope alive.

Please understand that to broadcast an NCAA regional, we have to place a bid with the NCAA to do so. We have done that and we hope to have an answer by the end of the day today. If we are awarded the regional, we will be extremely excited to be able to bring the regional to LSU fans.
