ESPN3 is NOT a tv channel but rather an internet based service.

Thanks. Turned out is was a stupid question.

What kind of crappy TV package you got? You can get ESPN3 but you can't get CST?

---

Duuuuuuuuude,,seriously?

I e-mailed this request a few times + the ESPN3 Customer Care/ Viewer Response Team just sends the same friendly generic reply

"we will pass your comments on the appropriate personnel for their review & consideration"

Hope they get what they need in LSU fanaticism/ interest to make this ESPN3.com UCLA regional online coverage happen in the next day or two!

I've requested twice already. Do you think if we flood their in-box w/ hundreds of duplicate requests that will only serve to piss them off, or will it get the point across?

In either case:

Well their customer service department is on the ball.

Dean, if LSU does win, I want to go to Fullerton, but have a WWII reunion that is 3 years in the works that same weekend. Bad timing I guess. I should have flew to LA this weekend, but waited too long to make up my damn mind.

Have a few In N Out burgers for me.

I have to be in NorCal this weekend so I will miss seeing the games in person. IF both teams make it to the Supers, it will be tough for me NOT to make the drive/flight down to SoCal. I have free lodging once I am down there so the costs won't be crazy.

someone posted yesterday that Cox won't allow online streaming via ESPN3. Cited an agreement bw CST & their sponsors that prohibits any type of online stream. This was in an email from CST

If true, that royally sucks.

Has anyone called the office? Maybe if people would blow up their phone lines along with email, it might be even more convincing.

We need to get this done!
