No national TV for BYU - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I heard ESPN will not be showing SDSU game (only gameplan).

So if it weren't for Notre Dame, we would not be on national TV this year (ABC is regional).

When is the last year we have been on national TV so few times?

There is a price we are paying for this suckiness. An entire generation of young men not knowing that BYU was stood for something wonderful and great.

Think of those kids who won't see BYU play once this year, members and not. It's sad.

The Utah-TDS game will probably be on ESPN2 if Utah keeps winning.

More likely to be on the Ocho. Utah is going to lose a bit more I think.

We'll see Saturday. If the Utes beat UNC I think they have a good chance at beating the rest of their teams on their schedule (or only losing one game). A loss to UNC probably means the Utes aren't good enough yet to finish with 1-2 losses and will probably finish with 3 or 4.

With us losing our ESPN contract next year, do we know how many games are going to be guaranteed on CSTV?

I'm a bit concerned that we are going to be banished to watching games at the Stake Center again, just like when I was a kid.

Last year Steel and I had to watch the Stanford game (and a couple of others) at the stake center with the OLD crusty Audio visual guys.

Every minute or so through the game they would hit mute and say something like "these guys don't know what they are talking about", or "I'm tired of listening to these idiots talk". Granted it was the first ever CSTV broadcast and had quite possibly the worst sideline reporter in history. I had to physically restrain Steel from throwing a folding chair at these guys and taking the remote away from them.

Bring your own remote next time. I have a sony clie that acts as a programmable remote. It's come in handy a time or two.

Like at the hospital, when mysteriously, someone (me) turns the volume up.
