Tonight's conference games is not even being broadcast live on TV, but is on tape delay at 11 pm.

I feel bad for people that want to watch but don't know how to hook their laptop up to their TV. But then again, maybe after the last three games, they are happy to take a break.
 
I think all of our games should be on Wometco Home Theatre(WHT). Thumbs up to anyone who remembers WHT..

Are you sure? I seem to remember quite a few “ESPN 3” games back in the big east days

The point is, between local TV and ESPN's dozens of channels, we used to be live on TV for pretty much every game.

That’s because Time Warner used to pick up most everything not carried elsewhere. Spectrum doesn’t do that. I bet there are more games carried live now on non local than before.

TW used to have a dedicated sports channel that covered both SU and local HS sports.

They used to cover the HS Basketball sectionals and the HS LAX Tournament.

Spectrum doesn't do squat for local sports.

But the guys on Cuse sports talk think this is the best it’s gonna get. The Syracuse media is so soft when compared to the Bobby Bowden situation at FSU back in the day. I am pretty sure FSU fired him as well.

They won a natty within 5 years with what turned out to be a great recruiter, but not great coach. Pitino can do both pretty damn good.

Red Sox preseason is on NESN+ and the Bruins play tonight so I hope there is no regional blackout BS with the ESPN+.

I'd actually like to see us win the next two and make a run in the ACCT assuming that doesn't change things and extend the misery for another season.

Yeah I hate people who think this way. The same people who complain about Micron coming and really don’t want it to happen so they can complain about how terrible things are.

This is strategic. The school decides to do the “turn the Orange Green” towel giveaway creating a virtual green screen on the lower bowl. They will then use the time between the real game and the rebroadcast to create an audience effect to make it look like there’s actually fans in the stands. Masterful forward planning on Wildhack’s part.
