I was watching the game babysitting my grandson and John Saunders
comes on with a little over 9 minutes left and sez "The Sooners have the
game well in hand so we're gonna switch to..." and "we'll keep you updated"
So, I haveta watch ILL/Mich and not once did I see a look in or update and
there were THREE more tds scored. I dint know the final until the 2nd quarter
of Tech whoopin on West Virginny. THAT'S why I dislike 11:00 games. I haven't
looked at Holakyles hightlights yet so hopefully I'll see OUr last two scores.

I wuz proud of myself for not raising holy hell in front of my grandson, but,
honestly, had I been able to get my hands on an ABC neck I'd a wrung that
sucker's neck like I useta do chickens fer dinner. DAYUM!!!!!!

You saw more of it than I did. Here, the game was cutoff at the start of the 4th quarter, prior to Bell taking over for Landry, in time for the Illinois/Michigan kick off.

Same thing in Georgia. Have to watch the rerun. BTW ABC just did it again in the TT-WV game. Like I or anyone else east of the Rockies give a **** about BYU and the Beav.

Same thing in Richmond... turned the game over and I missed three TDs... and I suspect HolaKyle is going to be pretty busy with this one... the game itself was a highlight reel for offense, defense and special teams.

Good job, Boys! Neighbor two doors down is going to be one unhappy Longhorn.

This is why blackout rules for college games are BS, I should be able to switch to a gameplan channel and watch the end of the game. But that was not the case.

The worst part about this is that ESPN 2 was running their Goal-line programming after the switch. Why wouldn't they just move it to ESPN2 if they needed to get the coverage of Ill/Mich (or in my area, Oregon State/BYU) started? Weak!

And that game those of us in the east were switched to, a close one, Michigan 45 - Illinois 0 . . .

Same thing happened to me in Durant. Switched us to the WV vs TT game.

Yeah. they've got 800 channels. They could've atleast put it on The Ocho.

That is the main reason why I hate the ABC games, I would prefer it to be on any of the other channels. Since CU jumped to the Pac 12 we get the Pac 12 game instead of the Big 12 game. Reminds me of when I lived in Dallas and had to go to a sports bar to watch OU-Colorado instead of the lovely TCU-Houston SWC game that was on locally.

This, but even on TheFirstRow I was forced to watch part of the Mizzery game.
I can't wait until programming completely breaks away from the service provider model.

Keep tuned to my YouTube channel later tonight. I might have something special for everyone who missed it (which was originally me as well, living in Florida.)

I'm liking the sound of this. I've been searching for a torrent all evening. Please tell me that I don't have to.
