MAC Tournament Blacked Out Again Nationwide

Posted: 3/7/2012 8:57:03 PM

Nothing new here. Just continuing frustration. I have watched all kinds of college tournaments the past several days from all over the country and none have been blacked out. Yet here we go again this year with the MAC blacking out their tournament on STO around the country, outside of MAC home area. Each year I keep hoping that common sense will finally rule the day, but I guess not this year, either. I guess we don't need that nationwide exposure.

Watched both games on my big screen last night via Xbox. The picture quality is surprisingly good. Now listening to Steve Mix is another matter.

By the way, did anyone notice they kept calling Rian Pearson a 1st team All MAC selection last night? Might want to re-read that press release guys.

I would think a sports bar can still pick up the games, correct? I was able to watch last year.

STO is DirecTV channel 662. A true sports bar that bought all sports channel packages should have it.

True sports bar also should be able to pull it in on ESPN Full Court. I'll do some searching for channels in a bit.

DirectTV ch 723, Dish channel 456. Looks like SD.

ESPN has an application for the XBOX -- they don't for PS3. If you don't get STO or ESPN GamePlan, your options would be WatchESPN on the computer, or an Android or iDevice.

True. Also a computer experience (which you said you were looking to avoid), and I believe they have a paid (<$5) app for the major smartphone platforms, as well.

Unfortunately the ESPN-Xbox feed was almost two minutes behind the radio so I had to listen to Reghi/Mix the whole game. My ears are bleeding.

You think your ears are bleeding, I convinced the local sports bar to put it on one of the TVs for me, but it was karaoke night so that was my audio feed.

I hope you tipped extensively. Karaoke is an improvement over Reghi/Mix.
