Is this a game that WAFB/WBXH is just refusing to carry? I thought the agreement for the SEC contract was that every game would be televised.



F'n THIS!

ESPN 3 has just become a loophole.

Exactly. They consider that televised. It sucks. Just gives everyone in the area more reason to come out and see them play.

I'll be there in my usual spot.

What's even worse is that the ESPN3 streaming (at least in Austin via ATT Uverse) just gets worse and worse. It was bad enough when the picture would get blurry and hang once in a while. But now it hangs all the time and last game it even just went totally out for long periods with a screen saying the broadcast wasn't available and to try again later. What crap!

We have the same ESPN3 problems (normally far below SD quality, drops, dithering) on Time Warner Cable in Austin, so changing your ISP may not help.

Our Roku box almost always streams good HD here, so I'd be interested to know whether Xbox or the PlayOn application on Roku (both of which offer ESPN3) are any better.

Anyone tried these?

ESPN3 with MediaCom in Alabama was terrible for the Auburn game but so were we so it didn't bother me that much. Hopefully it gets better.

You work in TV or something? Only thing I could think of off hand that requires caps on for something. Just curious.

I can't disagree with most of what the article said. I was all about the student section during the first 2 years I was in school ('06-'07 and 07'08) but after that, I had little patience with the silly stuff.

I understand some of it, and I like some of it, but other things were just kinda meh...

I had huge problems with ESPN3 last game too. It would go from 4/5 bar quality to 1/5 bar quality in a couple minutes which is unwatchable. I have 50MBps internet here too, definitely not my internet.

Yea, you really need a handful of people who actually know the sport of basketball. I feel like there are students at the games who know the sport well and could be clever about it, but they are the same ones who don't want to sit in the seats behind the basket because the sight lines are shite. If I'm watching a game, I want to actually see the game.

I agree. Never sat down low because it was tough to actually see the game.
