I agree David, this is the second time that ABC/ESPN cuts off the game at the beginning of the 4th quarter. The worse part is that they stop covering the Penn State game while showing the other game on TWO stations….Get your act together ABC/ESPN.

If ABC/ESPN does not want to broadcast Penn State games then don’t do it at all. This is the second week in a row that you have cut off the game and went to another. If the fans of Purdue and Oregon and last weeks Oklahoma game wanted to see them, they would already be watching them.

Very pissed off Penn State fan.

kevin, there is more to the West than the Pacific coast. Get a map.

The entire Pacific Coast has the Michigan State / Cal game. So what are you talking about?

If you are REALLY mad about coverage “blackouts” you should pony up and buy Gameplan, instead of just griping. By my count, there ISN’T a single game that I CAN’T see this week.

And for everyone’s information, folks in Alabama are REDNECKS, Tennessee and Kentucky claim the hillbillies. Roll Tide.

What gripes me is the hype we’ve heard all summer about ABC televising the Cal-MSU game, only to find that some other game from the east will trump it at the last minute.

Those of us that live in the west expect the western game.

A very sane poster suggested making the eastern game national, and that is a good idea. Then I don’t get my hopes up and there are plenty of other things to do. I am not required to watch games between teams I don’t care about.

Those of you that believe that we should care about eastern teams should have your heads examined. We support the teams in our area. Why does that surprise or threaten you?

As a wolverines fan living in near Denver, I’m stoked that I can watch them on espn2(maybe even ABC). Kool-Aid prediction: Rodriguz & the boys go 9 - 3. SSSSip, ahhhh.

Too bad it’s monopolized now that local stations have, for the most part, sold out to ESPN. They use to black out for local coverage and televise games out of the region. (Goodbye Jefferson-Pilot; hello PPV) :^(
Only complaint here is ABC showing Cal-MSU on three channels, including HDTV, and Bama-Clemson on crappy PPV. Bad news for Bama alumni living in Hawai’i but better than nothing, I suppose.
Friendly advice…if you live next door to the stadium, quit crying about TV coverage, k?

I wish I understood this nonsense. Is Chicago getting the Clemson game or not?
