not really correct. a lot of people cannot get espn3 if they have directv if their internet provider also doesnt support.



Those chances are slim. Look at the list.

Just registering their complaints. If they pay for the tickets, they have the right to do so.

By the way, since we are discussing WatchESPN...

When Cox signed that deal with Disney that included adding Cox to the WatchESPN list, we also started getting the Longhorn Network.

I hope that means that Cox will get the SEC Network from the get go.

I wish you would understand the difference between watchESPN the app and watchESPN the video subscription. You can still use the app to view ESPN3 if your ISP is an affiliate.

And this does affect people around here. HughesNet for one. Windstream is another. And LSU baseball has many fans outside of south Louisiana.

I get that ESPN cannot show every game on TV, but the problem I have with it, at least on Friday, is the amount of games being televised. There are 32 games on Friday, and only 5 are actually televised on 1 of ESPN's 5 networks.

ESPN - No games

ESPN 2 - 1 Game
St.Louis/South Carolina

ESPNEWS - No games

ESPNU - 4 games
Alabama/Troy
Kansas State/Wichita State
East Tennessee State/Vanderbilt
Cal State Fullerton/Columbia

ESPN Classic - No games

I think ESPN can do better than televising only 5 of the 32 games being played tomorrow.

LSU played no role in the decision not to provide an over-the-air broadcast.

Exactly. Sure I'll watch on my tv connected to my laptop. But it sucks to have to deal with internet streaming and buffering while shite like poker is on ESPN2

I'm mildly inconvenienced by the situation but my amusement with the typical moron LSU fan reactions more than makes up for it.

Why did they decide to air these games and not top seeded teams like OSU, LSU, or NC?

If they're not interwebz able (your tard wording), wtf makes you think they have a laptop to even hook up to a TV??? Dumbass.

No clue. They always seem to broadcast the Fullerton regional, which is fine by me, but not sure why they chose certain regionals.
