I've seen it on ESPN a few times. It's running with the Mountain West scores, not the MAC.

(BTW, the score was 45-16. I'm sure you've found it by now, but I thought it was worth repeating. :-D )

Not sure what you are watching.

CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, FSN have all shown the score.

You're not alone on this one! Didn't want to piss off the politically correct posters. Honestly, I thinmk ESPN can't stand BG for some reason. They showed a couple FCS gamescores over BG vs. Wyoming. I have nothing against the FCS games, but if your gonna show FCS games, at least show all Div I scores!

Yeah I saw it on every channel I watched with a game on it, my guess would be you just had bad luck and missed it most times, when its the games with no ranked teams there doesn't seem to be a order to the scores
BGSU c/o 2009 & 2013

I hear that the big wigs in Connecticut are always trying to figuring out how to screw BG next.....

It wasn't you guys that ESPN was dissing. Ever since the MWC gave ESPN the middle finger and started their own network, ESPN tries to avoid mention of the MWC. But you have someone like BYU messing up their plans... :wink:

no score

FWIW I watched the late game on CBS I think and checked ESPN and it was not on until well after the game was over- no updates at all. They run a fairly regular cycle of scores- it was not there.

DCPoke, are the announcers always that bad on the Mountain. I was wondering at times if they were watching the game.

I noticed it too on the channel I was watching. They would show all the MAC scores and the BG score would be there at the end just before the Toledo game which had not started yet. Then a few times the BG score was just plain absent from that slot while the Toledo game time was still there.
