It’s so gay all the major bowl games are on ESPN now

We have all the streaming shite but I hate streaming games. I’d much rather watch them over the air on the antenna we have for local channels. Particularly because of the delay streaming compared to over the air/cable live.
A smaller reason is games on ABC have a bigger feel about them than games on ESPN.
It’s the same for things like the Final Four being on TBS instead of CBS. MLB playoffs on FS1 instead of FOX. Monday Night Football on ESPN instead of ABC. It’s all about the promotion of other channels. But keep the big stuff on the major broadcasters where they belong.

On the flip side, being able to stream all of the bowl games is way better than a piecemeal system.

All off the NY6/CFP games have their own time window so putting them on ABC wouldn’t keep anyone from watching all of them.

i agree. games look so much better over the air, at least for me

He's got a point about ESPN sucking. The production value of the Citrus Bowl on ABC was way better than this Fiesta Bowl on ESPN. Just a different feel.

I’m in the same boat as you. Hate streaming the games and on ESPN. But it is what it is I guess.

Same goes for all the events I listed. I know it’s about promoting other channels but it’s awful for the viewer.

espn sucks at college football. i'm not sure if it's the commentators themselves or the audio mixing but it just feels quiet and boring .

ESPN is slowly but surely destroying CF

My “get off my lawn” moment is Michigan, an iconic program with iconic uniforms wearing some gay arse blue pants against uga.

Yes it is. I hope SOMEBODY will fix it. Anybody. Even that joke that is NBC

ESPN will be the downfall of CFB. And their productions are sub par compared to the other networks

Having the Rose on ABC just wouldn't be the same without Keith Jackson.

I was thinking about this the other day.
As someone who grew up without cable putting championship games behind a paywall fricking sucks

I'm the same way. I hate most of the biggest bowls are on ESPN now. Most of the other leagues are doing it too. And it sucks arse. I would also much rather watch on TV without having to rely on cable than streaming. It's probably only a matter of time before the Super Bowl gets moved to PPV or some shite.

This has done more to kill interest in watching the bowl games than anything else.

Nice catch

I really liked Keith Jackson, but I can remember when the Rose Bowl was on NBC as was the Orange Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl was a daytime game played during Bowl Week. Sugar Bowl was a 1pm kick off. Cotton Bowl was on CBS at 12 pm
Orange Bowl used to have the really long half time show ....like the Super Bowl.the game usually ended around midnight EST.
