As the closest neighbors of all SEC teams, I just hope both teams have fun


I think State has the closest two distances from other SEC campuses in Bama and UMiss.
This is a major unforced error. Why are you doing this the same night as the opening of the NFL season? You aren't reaching anyone who is a casual observer of politics.

re: How should senators be selected?

The senators were supposed to be selected by state legislatures to represent the states as, for lack of a better term "ambassadors" for the state governments.

It is the same thing about the gay love for Hasan Piker. He's good looking with muscles and that trumps any concern about the totally anti-gay, death to gays views. Thinking with a body part other than their brain.

Same pattern. Feeling tired before death. Ritter was tired and went to lie down in his trailer. Graham told Trump that he was tired on the phone call last night.
Rice-Eccles at Utah. Had just been rebuilt for Winter Olympics. Great views.

To make your argument make sense, every game should be on an over the air broadcast like ABC, CBS or NBC.

ESPN has 1 ESPN channel, 1 ESPN2 channel, 1 ESPN U channel, 1 SECN channel and ESPN+. All but ESPN had college baseball on.



These are not channels on cable? People don't channel surf on cable? I don't understand why you are adverse to trying to grow the game. Defend ESPN on making stupid choices on programming.
quote:

I tell my television to put on whatever game. There is no "logging on."

On my phone, I open the ESPN app and press "watch."

Skip McDonald's once a month, spend that on ESPN, and you'll be happier. Or, like I do, have xfinity and have it included.



You are searching for it. To grow the game, you need people who are not searching for it. You need people who stumble upon it. See how college softball has grown.
quote:

If you have the ESPN + app, you can see any game for like $10 a month.


Again, trying to grow the game. Non-traditional fans. Not ones who seek it out by logging on and finding the game online.

You think this would have a bigger draw?

vs Northeastern

You think this would draw more interest?

USM


vs Little Rock

Just log off.


Do people not tune in for the 16/1 game for the basketball tournament? Random people just surfing the channels might stop to watch a game that has a crowd and energy. I understand that Auburn shite the bed so you don't want that on TV.
quote:

what channel was State on?


ESPN+ the whole weekend.
quote:

Which game should have been on instead?


Nebraska? Kansas? USM?
quote:

So now it's ESPN's responsibility to fill stadiums and make them excited? This is in the top ten of stupid posts today, and there have been a lot of stupid posts today.


No, but you show games that you know beforehand will have better crowds and energy. Why do you show LSU/Alabama football on ABC primetime Saturday, but not Kent State at Toledo?

Why does ESPN hate college baseball?

If you want to grow the game, you show games on cable that have crowds in the stands and energy. Yeah, lets show UK/WF with nobody in the stands to start off. Let's show NC State/UCF in a dead stadium on ESPN2. To grow the game, you need energy. ESPN seems to have no desire to show it.
