You all keep apologizing for ESPN and trying to convince me that I should watch the game from an online "tunnel". Why? It's a huge hassle and a major reduction in quality. I can't record it or rewind it. The interface is 100 times more awkward than a remote. If I stream it on the computer, I get SD half the time and there's a message that states that the quality is [B]subject to available bandwid[/B]th. I pay for the ESPN College 2 that was supposed to broadcast the game. They blacked it out -- you know, because they care so much for their fans. Apparently, yet another greedy FOX/MSGPlus2 move was afoot to extort the cable stations to pick up MSGPlus2. This explains why "not enough channels" has nothing to do with it -- there are 20 regional carriers who would gladly pony up for the rights and air the game IF ESPN/MSG weren't going to broadcast it on a channel available in the prime viewing area. TW also didn't step up to the plate. Not a good effort from the "home" of SU BB.

As far as ESPN (and its apologists) go (es), I'm sick of the online nonsense. I have a big, UHD TV with a hard wired connection. Telling me I have to sit in front of my computer is like making me tow my car with my lawn mower. It's stupid. And it's unnecessary. For those who understand 3d tier rights, if ESPN (or MSGPlus2) can't get their  together to broadcast the game where it belongs == ON TV== then they should give up the GD rights to a regional carrier that can. Enough.
