I still don't quite understand how they figure these maps out(ie, some of the state of Nebraska gets the Iowa game, some of Iowa gets the NU game).....do they just let a five year old go crazy with a paintball gun?

well, if that is the case, it looks like ESPN360 for me.

i dont understand why half the eastern part of US needs to see usc washington? leave it on the west coast no one cares

Wait...so is the Nebraska game on HD or not? That article confused me.

The map posted here is the HD coverage map on ABC. I believe that the Nebraska game will also be shown in standard definition on ESPN2 in the green areas on that map.

Yep, me too. One of the main reasons I pay for Comcast internet. But since my tv is hooked to my computer, it doesn't make much of a difference to me if I get it on ABC or not.

This map above is HD. This is the map for ABC. The reason why north eastern Nebraska (green area) is getting Iowa is because they are served by the Sioux City ABC affiliate.

All those in the Iowa/Arizona region (Green) above will be able to see the game on ESPN2 (Standard Def channel). All those in the Nebraska/Va Tech Region (Blue) will get Iowa/Ariz on ESPN2's HD channel.

I'll be watching the game on the computer again, I guess.

A note to ABC/ESPN: Nobody cares about Iowa except Iowans.

If your in MN you can watch on ESPN2's standard Def channel. If you want HD then I don't know what you can do....

and the West Coast gets f'd again! just like last year...If you want to see the NU/VT game, you'll have to buy it from ESPN Gameplan.

Well...I know what's going to be dvr'd in SC.

...If I had cable. With a baby on the way, we had to make some cuts. I'm also more than a little upset that ESPN took Monday Night Football away from me, but that's a whole 'nother rant.

It's because the Sioux City station will be fed the Iowa game, the through-the-air customers in northeast NE are closer to Siouz City than Omaha. Cable customers probably get both, if there is cable ..

gotta love how the Miami/Ft.Lauderdale area will get the Nebraska game, but California won't...I would love for ABC to explain that one to me. Are they suggesting that more people in Miami would rather watch Nebraska than USC? How about the rest of Florida? Why do they get the USC/Washington game, but not the Miami market?
