Illinois game on ESPNU...

[Apathy]

I don't know why but for some weird reason I thought we were on ESPNU when we played against Arizona in the Holiday Bowl

I dont know that Id consider a 3-9 Mich St win better than a 42-30 Nebraska win.

Pretty sure this is the first time we've ever been on ESPNU.

 

 

 

I'm guessing it's also a rare occurrence for B1G schools.

 

There's a B1G game on ESPNU quite frequently. The SEC also gets at least one game on ESPNU every weekend. More people have ESPNU than BTN so this is better. And also, it's much better being on ESPNU than ESPN2 at noon because we don't have to have Beth Mowins doing play by play.

I simply don't get all the butthurt about the game being on ESPNU. To me, the ESPN channels are all interchangeable, there is no difference between them.

A demotion of sorts? Isnt ESPN U reserved for MAC schools 90% of the time?

 

Nope. Michigan State and Indiana have had games already this season on ESPNU. Virginia Tech was on last weekend. Also, the SEC have games every Saturday on the network. Not a demotion by any means. It I recall, ESPNU is in close to 80 million homes. Much bigger audience will be able to watch than would be able to on BTN.

Agreed.

I do know that Clemson was on ESPNU last weekend. So if they can be on there I guess anyone can

As has already been said, ESPNU is not in HD on Dish. Really sucks to watch a game in SD. On a big screen it looks especially worse. Sorry this has to be said 3 times for you to get it.

ESPNU isn't on cox (essential) I believe

Then get a better satellite provider or pony up for the sports package. I have read the posts, but there are things that you can control to ensure you have the games on the quality of TV that you like.

I wonder how they're going to turn the Husker "N" into their little U logo thing.

The more 'fringe' ESPN channels have the less impressive crews and thus a less impressive product. This includes commentators, camera men, producers, etc.

 

It's quibbling, sure, but there is most certainly a difference. Not that I care - I'm just glad to be able to always watch.

I can understand that, a bit. But, as the years go on, I don't really notice a difference between any of the ESPN channels, time slots, or whatever. The game is on TV, and that's always nice.
