WTF?
Maybe it's a good thing that ESPNU is not carried by the local cable station. I did not see a single play from yesterday's nail biter against Ball State. I want to leave it that way. How did the game end up so close? Ball State is terrible. Michigan has been sluggish for the past couple weeks. Hopefully they can turn things around because Indiana is not a team to take lightly this year. They have one hell of a receiver in Hardy and are capable of scoring in big plays if Michigan comes out sluggish next week. There will be no choking before the Ohio State game. Please...
I was disappointed that I was not able to see the game on TV in my own home yesterday. I could have gone to a sports bar, but I was not overly excited about the matchup.
ESPNU continues to oversaturate the college sports market with another station devoted to less than stellar college football games each week and are trying to drive up cable costs by forcing carriers to add ESPNU to their regular lineup. I would be much more supportive of a station like ESPNU on my cable lineup if it was more devoted to low revenue sports (like college hockey). However, ESPNU is damaging truly great stations like CSTV which air sports other than football and will probably never break through when big companies like ESPN promote a similar product that is far inferior. The last thing I want is a college sports station that carries less exciting football and basketball matchups as opposed to big showdowns in sports like college hockey.

What?!?! You didn't watch the game? How can you call yourself a TRUE FAN???
Just kidding...I didn't venture out to find a place playing the game, either. I figure going to the bar on my own for two games per season is about my limit. SERIOUSLY, WHERE ARE THE MICHIGAN FANS IN MINNEAPOLIS??? (who are also my friends) I can't even hardly talk about frickin NCAA football with all the Vikings fans around here!
