ESPN sucks.

So, is the game on regular (ie: not GamePlan) tv in and around BG? Because it definitely isn't here in Columbus. How is it that Grambling St. v. Hampton gets on TV here, Texas v. North Texas gets on TV here, and a game between a school within an hour and a half driving distance and a Big 10 opponent doesn't get on TV? I don't have GamePlan and I'll be at a wedding when the game is going on, so if anyone might be able to record the game and make me a DVD or a tape I would be very grateful. Let me know.
Thanks!
GO BG! BEAT WISKY!

No one picked it up in Columbus. There's your answer.
If you go to a sports bar with Game Plan, you will be able to watch it. Otherwise, drive to Dayton or Cleveland or Toledo, where it will be up on free TV.

Just another reason not to like Columbus. Like I needed more.

I wish I could drive somewhere to watch it, but it's a wedding and it's my brother's, and as much as I love BG, I do have my priorities.
That said, it was still a tough choice.

I knew there was a reason I moved to Dayton in January! It has all suddenly been made very clear to me

I'm thinking you can watch it on YES network if you or someone you know has DirectTV, however YES is currently being blacked out for a NYY baseball game and I live in West Lafayette, Indiana

Where in Toledo can I get the game? I've got Direct TV and all I can get are games at least a thousand miles from Toledo.

Complain to channel 10. They carry most ESPN regional games. If they two other Big Ten games on today, or a CBS game, they won't carry it.
Also to blame is the MAC for not getting a good contract with FSN. In C-bus we are getting UCLA-Utah. EXCITING.
Of course, the best way to watch the game is in person. I am leaving in a few minutes to head north. Looks like the rain is going to clear out for you fair weaither fans.

I'd be there right along with you, but I'll be clad in a tux watching my brother get married. Give an extra cheer for me.
