UofL vs. Cincinnati!


And I'm going to miss seeing the game in HD.



But, am I not alone in wishing ESPN would offer more games in HD? They run a doubleheader each Tue. night so why not put them both in HD?

They need more equipment (another truck and cameras etc.) - and time to test and deploy it.


Patience.

That's not in HD tonight is it? Are you sad that they're not playing it in HD, or that they're playing it in HD and you're missing out on it.


It says [email protected] on the ESPN-HD Schedule..


But we have Marquette @ Louisville to look forward to on 1/31 - in HD.

Normally, I'd agree, but Maryland isn't even ranked.


Cincy is No. 5 and Louisville No. 6 in one poll and their rankings are reversed in the other. It's no surprise though, considering the tremendous ACC bias that ESPN - especially Vitale - shows every season. That's not a knock on the ACC, but sometimes it's as if no other conferences exist when you listen to Dickie V.


Go Cards! Give Huggy Bear a coronary tonight.

polls, smolls


they are bias, because the ACC is a powerhouse every year!


Is Louisville going to the BigEast next year?

If so, they will become a bias team too, because ESPN is also bias towards the BigEast

Yes, as is Cincy.

Well, H-E-double hockey sticks.


I could have sworn that when I checked it the other day it had the UofL/Cincy game as the HD game tonight.


Ok, I don't feel so bad, then.

Nope...not until '05-'06. Some $ issues held it up. Only teams moving next year are Miami and VT. Everyone else is waiting 1 more year.


As a 'Cuse fan, I can't wait! The Big East is going to be a crazy basketball conference!!

 

[whitllam]

Well, for the sake of the UC fans out there, I'm glad this dismantling wasn't presented in HD. Ouch...

My congrats to Louisville, good game.

Well, if you watched the Duke-Maryland game tonite, then you know ESPN made the right decision. That was a great game. I hate Dicky V, but he's right there is no better conference for basketball other than the ACC ;-)


I'm a GT alum, so of course I'm ACC biased too. Go Yellow Jackets!!!

Don't start planning your calendar around the CUSA Tourney finals just yet, because Charlotte will spank both Cincy and Louisville your last two seasons in the conference.

Might want to consider upping that dosage.


Charlotte has looked rather good this year but the Dunkel Index has them rather far down:

Aww, come on now. I love Huggins, but he'll always be one step away from another heart attack unless he tones it down. It was a joke man. I obviously don't want to see his heart explode again.


I think Louisville made it rather clear that they are cream of the C-USA crop. Charlotte is good, fun to watch and they may upset the Cards at some point this season, but they are not the better team.

Remember what UAB did in the ConfUSA Tourney??

Jerry, did you not get a PVR box from Insight? You could just record the game if you're going to miss it on the 31st.

 

[NightowlKY]

Got the new Motorola box yesterday (moved to the new apt.)


I LOVE it! Have the SD programming output at 480p so I can bypass the problem with the set's failure on 480i input and I also no longer have to swap cables in the back of the TV when I switch from SD to HD


As for the game on the 31st, I'll be watching! Just hope Diener's back (from that whiplash he got the other night when the guy jumped in the air and landed on Diener's neck!)
