it's available in every major media market in the US outside of Los Angeles. and EVERY Big Ten team plays at least two games (one non-conf, one conference) football game on it. Northwestern's upset of Nebraska was on it. Appalachian State's upset of Michigan, etc. Great coverage of Big Teams, and the middle of the big is good enough that it's pretty good football in conference play. Even outside of conference play, you get good nonconference games because they end up showing 6 or 7 games on a Saturday due to having 12 games available

I was mostly just giving you a hard time about it. That sucks it's not there for you in Los Angeles.

yeah, it was all good for a while with BTN2Go, as if you were on Time Warner and had a sports package you got it, even if said sports package didn't have BTN. They finally locked that down a couple months ago, but I have my parents' TWC log-in from Nebraska and use that. Works great.

It's a bit of a bummer to watch Nebraska games on an internet stream rather than a glorious HD Cable feed, but hey, I remember when games weren't even televised and just on the radio - so being able to see every single game in HD, no matter where I am in the world (via BTN2Go or WatchESPN) is pretty spectacular.

[mre]

I don't think even Purdue fans watch Purdue games on it.

Purdue has fans?

[jstevenson]

yeah, I have one who works with me. He's cute when he gets animated about how much he hates Indiana

At least I can still listen to the Husker radio broadcasts via the web.

Suddenlink in College Station.

[KingGondo]

Suddenlink.

I'm sorry.

[BertramCooper]

Suddenlink in College Station.

Hmm.

My sister lives in Bryan and has SuddenLink, I believe. She gets it for like $10 extra a month.

[jstevenson]

well, College Station is not a major media market, so there you go.

get Satellite man, or get a friend in Nebraska with Time Warner to hook you up with their password for BTN2go

Hmm. My sister lives in Bryan and has SuddenLink, I believe. She gets it for like $10 extra a month.

just checked their lineup and no dice

[timetokill]

Yeah, but wouldn't the drive to campus be the most disturbing thing? USC isn't in the best neighborhood.

The fact that he'll walk by some homeless people now and then is probably not a huge deal. I'm sure he's got the whole "just look the other way" thing down.

Seriously though, the whole neighborhood complaint about USC is getting less and less meaningful over time. USC keeps improving the surrounding area, and it's nothing like it was in the 90s.


edit:holy fuck, I got a tag!

[Jhriad]

Oh? I'll have to give them another call. This is the same Suddenlink that refused to believe that I had internet through them as I was logged into my Suddenlink account on the internet I was paying them for. Wouldn't be surprised if I was told they didn't carry it incorrectly.

[Jhriad]

well, College Station is not a major media market, so there you go.

It has 230,000 people and is an hour outside of Houston. On the phone talking to them now.

EDIT: Yep, they don't have it. Satellite isn't an option since I'm still in an apartment atm. Oh well. Might try to see what cable provider some of my family has in Nebraska.

[squicken]

I've got UVerse and get the Big 1G Network. They force that and The BYU Channel on you as justification for charging $10 for The Red Zone Channel. No Longhorn Network so thank God for that

Apparently this song is going to be played at pretty much every athletics event this year. This guy (Bane) did another FSU song that they used a lot last year.

Yeah I didn't quite get that line myself. We are always overrated.

The crazy thing about this video is that it was apparently produced by a high school student. He has some pretty good editing chops for his age. This looks like it could have been produced by Seminole Productions (our in-house studio, which wins a good amount of industry awards for their various in-stadium videos and the local coach interview shows).

I wanted to call in and talk about either Indiana football, or the New York Yankees.

ESPN, apparently.

Just had a "Suddenlink, we're connected" jingle flashback. You are an evil person, though mainly because all the "bbq" places around here think pulled pork counts.

One day, one of use will call in.

When that day comes, it better be mentioned in here before it happens.

I call in everyday. I'm andy from ohio.

Is it legal to take out 4 receivers, replace them with offensive line backs ups, and have the ref declare them to be eligible receivers before the start of a play?

EDIT: Sorry, bored at work, and thinking about the most unstoppable screen play of all time.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eligi...iver#section_1

Depends upon their jersey number.
Players wearing 50 to 79 are always ineligible receivers.

Brisket all the way. Damnit now I'm hungry for brisket.

Ok, how about this: Get three practice squad OL, put eligble numbers on them, put em in a trips formation, tell them to bump and run anyone with the balls to try to defend them, snap pass if the d is soft.

I don't think a corner is prepared to get pancaked 20 yards from the ball.

Also, it would probably only work once.

Sounds like Stanford with their 5 TE formations.

who is your cable provider?

Direct TV

[jstevenson]

Direct TV

k, that doesn't count. National providers carry it, of course. So does Dish, U-Verse and fIOS

Regional providers are the issue. LA is the only major media market in the USA where cable providers don't offer it. They are in the other 19

That's good to know. I toured USC for school in '93. It was sketch as fuck.

Yeah, trust me when I say that 20 years later it seems like a different world compared to then. Still plenty of work to do but the money flowing through that area is doing a lot of good.

It's improved, and downtown has improved drastically, but there are still uber sketch areas right off campus that I would be at least highly defensive if I was walking around alone at night in.

Way better than it was, but still not ideal.

Campus itself is killer, and downtown being awesome now only helps make it great.

Lame, little league world series is actually shitty talent for the age. Little to no potential to gain a leg up on baseball recruiting.
