If by "they", you mean ESPN Classic, the answer is no. http://tvlistings2.zap2it.com/grid_one.asp?station_num=15451&partner_id=national&10/8/2005 They are showing three different ND/USC matchups. Cox Sports TV also does not have it listed.
Wednesday @ 5pm on ESPNCL : 1997: Florida/LSU Played 10/11/97. This is on my dish network EPG, and I just updated it a couple of hours ago. We'll see what happens.
You can't deny how big the ND/USC game is. It's one of the biggest rivalries in college football and for the first time in years, both teams are playing very well.
They've got USC/ND in 1989 listed during that time slot for Cox Digital. Same for DirecTV. http://tvlistings2.zap2it.com/grid_one.asp?station_num=15451&partner_id=national&10/11/2005 [font=arial, helvetica][size=-2][/size][/font]
The 97 Florida game was on my DirectTV EPG a few days ago as a 1 hour game, but it’s been replaced by a two hour USC / Notre Dame game that starts at 4. It’s not on ESPN Classic’s online schedule either.
