Crosstown Shootout - Dec. 14, 2 pm on ESPN PLUS

Postby longliveskip » Thu Oct 10, 2024 1:25 pm

Seriously, WTF. Just another chance for the stupid 4-letter network to SCREW the Big East/Fox Sports connection. such a joke this game in on ESPN "plus"

and it's also UC's fault for not being any good. if they were a top half of the Big 12 kind of team we'd easily be on a regular channel.

maybe there's a chance ESPN changes this game. not sure it can/will happen.

Fortunately for me my daughter and son in law have ESPN+ and a nice at home theatre to watch it in.

Uh UC is ranked 20th in the preseason AP poll and X is found down in the "also receiving votes:.

the TV schedule was made before any preseason rankings came out. they're basing this off how they've been in the past, which hasn't been great since they joined the B12.

if they waited a few weeks we'd be on a normal channel that day.

Speculation. Pay streaming is the way of the world now.

The biggest problem with being on a normal channel is that the games run together and we usually miss the beginning of the games. Streaming is not all bad.

Kroger Boost is offering 6 months of ESPN+
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

A lot of primetime games hitting streaming. They are cherry picking these bigger games to slowly move different segments of the market. The fragmentation of value in any television media is painful right now. Cable/streaming/etc…its all a ripoff at this point.
