It was beyond laughable. There was no sound at all from the field, and, sorry Alan, the constant "Ohio U"s from both the pbp and color guys was like fingernails on a chalkboard. Was STO producing this? Was it Ball State's crew?

Not to mention their amazement that OhioU didn't get called for running into the punter...even though he rolled out for the rubgy style kick where the punter is "free game" for hits when they do that type of kick. I think those were the regular STO guys. Ryan M.

Edit And on second thought does Cincy or NKY get STO?

I think it was broadcast on a local station that normally doesn't have sports. You wont find it in NKY, I know that for sure. As far as bars go, you'll probably just have to try your luck and ask a friendly bartender or waitress to see if it comes in.

Hope that today's broadcast from Akron is an improvement over last week.  Didn't see it, but I'm just basing it on the comments on here.   Back to Top MFRONE General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Columbus, OH Post Count: 387 Status: Offline     RE: STO Coverage    Posted: 10/22/2011 2:38:34 PM  Unless things have changed, STO doesn't produce all of their broadcasts and they use a feed provided by the home school.

Also Anyone know how to get espn3 games on xbox?  I get my internet through time warner (but my tv through Direct TV) If it's the game only that is being blacked out, it's either because it's on Gameplan or maybe because of ESPN3.  If it's always blacked out, you need to get the DTV sports pack package that includes Fox sports channels from around the country, MSG, YES, Altitude and others. As for general comments about STO's coverage, I thought it was really second-rate today.  Besides the continual "Ohio U" references, their cameras often bit on play-action fakes, leaving us guessing as to what was going on; for some reason the only replays they had on the big fumble play that set up Akron's first TD were from end zone cameras, which were useless to determine whether it was a pass or a fumble; I'm not sure why they brought along the sideline reporter, who disappeared between the pregame and the halftime interview with Ianello and showed up only once in the second half to discuss Marcellis Williamson; and apparently no one kept the announcers updated on the other MAC scores, given the complete astonishment they showed at the Temps-BGSUCKS score. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
