Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) yea, a lot more people will be pissed about that than the amount of people pissed about missing soccer. A lot of people don't have ESPNU.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) I stand corrected, at 10:30 ET (time for the kickoff at the HDC) ESPN Classic is showing a 2003 "retrospective" on why Grady Little couldn't manage the 2003 Red Sox to the pennant followed by 2 hours of Rodeo from 1998! Come on ESPN, I think you have your open channel now!
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) It is a politically correct term for "sh!tty team that nobody cares about that beats crappy teams in their crappy conference"
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) This is not an entertaining game, this is just poorly played defenses where no one can make a tackle. How many missed tackles have there been just in the last 5 minutes? 10? This game will be over around 11pm (and thus we'll miss most of the first half of MLS).....4 hours of poorly played football.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) I have espn360, but I still can't get the game.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) They show WNBA on ESPN Classic?
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) I see the listed start is 10:30 EDT, I thought it was 10:00, so that's a bit better. I imagine they'll hold up the actual kickoff for 10-15 minutes too. Maybe it won't be so bad?
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Those are compelling reasons for hating the media and the NCAA, but not for hating college football. MLS just has no luck this year. The first triple-OT WNBA playoff game, and now a game almost on pace to break the I-A (excuse me, "Football Bowl Subdivision") scoring record. I'm watching the NFL while I wait. Knew I should've drafted Marvin Harrison again. He was the backbone of my fantasy title last year.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Well people in LA usually don't show up till 10-15 minutes in the game so we'll be just like them.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Let's just hope it doesn't turn into another Arkansas-Kentucky game
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) They probably still fit in somewhere in MLS' expansion plans. Right after we see that team playing in the Talladega Super Speedway...
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) It's time for MLS to demand that if other games are delaying the start of MLS games that either ESPN puts it on Classic or ESPN News, and/or lets MLS stream it live on MLSLive. This should be a great match at the HDC and if we miss the first 60 minutes, what's the damn point of having the contract on ESPN?
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Yeah, MLS is in position to demand something thatt the NCAA and NFL don't even get.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) first time i was actually looking forward to a thursday night game not involving rbny
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Well, the NCAA runs college football. The two can't be separated. ESPN2 only alloted 3.5 hours for this game. That's not really enough for college football these days, so it's not quite all bad luck. The WNBA thing was though. Anyone have a video link for the game yet?
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Isn't there gonna be college football on every Thursday now? Maybe ESPN should have Tursday Night MLS until September, then move it Wednesday Night MLS. MLS isn't gonna over take college football anytime soon, or even in our lifetimes possibly, so MLS might want to work something out with ESPN about Wednesdays.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Yea this is shit. Well kickoff is at 10:53. Weird. BTW, this is why I can't stand football, college or NFL.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) Well, anyway, this is why I don't believe ESPN should schedule live events back to back (at least not when the first one is apt to run long).
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) I guess they are actually gonna pull the plug on this crap at 10:53 so they won't have their first FOUR HOUR college football game without OT.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) If Louisville would ever hire a damn coach that knew how to run the clock out and teach defensive schemes, this wouldn't be an issue.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) I bet ESPN will have college football on Wednesdays too. There's hardly any days anymore without college football. Why delay until 10:53? The football game won't be over by then.
Re: Word of warning for the game tonight (R if you watch College football) 10:53? wow, that's a late kick-off thank you to MLS for holding off as long as they could
