    No one even read my delivery. Do you know what my letter to ESPN said? Absolutely not. Good day.

    Re: ESPN issues an apology

    I have dish and I didn't find out until after the fact that the game was on the ESPN alternate channel.
    I went to ESPN's website to look up there tv schedule but got nowhere because it kept telling me to install flash player but I already have that installed.

    This is the most frustrating thing for me, is that the games weren't listed on those channels anywhere.
    Btw, I'd like to congratulate the Fresno State Bulldogs for beating ASU.
    I kinda root for Fresno State except when they play LSU since I spent a few years there so I also found that regional very entertaining.
    But would have rather seen a complete game of the Tigahs!:tigereye:

    I experienced the same thing. I checked ESPN2HD, ESPN2SD, 210, and 211 and they were all showing the same feed.

    Pretty sure he meant delivery on this board. Thought that was obvious.

    Did they mean to say "unavailable"? Not sure why they would be apologizing to people who were unaware it was available when it wasn't available.

    Obviously they are not getting the message. So nothing is accomplished here to prevent this in the future.

    Re: ESPN issues an apology

    What's obvious is that an LSU fan (ME) was a little ticked because he didn't get to see the PROMISED last magical moments of Alex Box staduim, and wanted to set up a thread for people to send ESPN comments (NOT HATE MAIL) about the issue. ESPN is now re-airing the game due to the high level of comments.

    Hold on there, sparky. ESPN knows damn well you can't get 360 in LA. And as much as i despise Cox, they shouldn't have to give espn any more of their revenue per subscriber (already the highest for any cable channel thats not HBO) just so we can see horrible quality streams of uefa cup matches or some MEAC basketball. This weekend was honestly the first time i can remember that an lsu game was live on the 360 service.

    And just to be clear, the only reason you can get it on lsu's campus is because the NCAA pressured them into making it available because of the disaster that had been happening with syracuse football for the last 2 years.

    And NO ONE should have to apologize for criticizing espn. they are single handedly ruining college sports in this country and are making it harder, not easier for fans to see their teams play.

    Unfortunately the only group i can see having the ability to unseat espn is fox sports, and they seem unwilling to go farther than football when it comes to college sports. I mean, they were showing football replays on all 3 of their nationally carried college sports stations this weekend. Would that not be the perfect place to have regional baseball coverage?


    btw, they cut away from the game pretty quickly after it was over. HERE is the end of their coverage from the bottom of the 8th on as we saw it (I was lucky enough to have remembered to check my sd espn2 channel)
