First of all, all Cajuns games were on TV last year. And this year, they are, with exception of one, scheduled to be on TV as well. So that renders your point moot.Quote:

Just like next year's game at Tech will be on Fox Sports One or CBS Sports Net because CUSA isn't affiliated with ESPN.
Make it happen? It's not a matter of asking ESPN to put us on. It's a conference TV contract. You cant just make channels put us on. Most mid-majors dont have all their games on National TV, minus one or two that have been successful for longer than the last 3 years. It's a matter of sustained success and improving your overall athletics department, which I would think most feel like we are generally doing. We could just keep putting games on Cox4 which is only seen by people on Cox in grainy SD.Quote:

The SBC gets 2 national televised games a year, this will be our 3rd consecutive year having both.Quote:

Pretty sure I used to have it, they must have just removed itQuote:

This one didn't make the ESPN cut.
If you have COX, and you are in the New Orleans area, it is on channel 315/1315
No those are nationally too. You can go to their schedule and there's no options by region, etc. They are national broadcasts. The only times ESPN deals with regional stuff is when they have 2 games and one is on ABC and the other on one of the ESPNs. Some areas get the different game on ABC so they flip flop themQuote:

Out of 12 games there are 2 on ESPN2 that the general public can easily watch. And believe me, I'm glad we have those games. And that is a credit to the administration for making that happen. A few years ago it was 0. Since the games started being on ESPN3 in 2010 I watched the games in 2010/2011 with a laptop hooked to my TV. Then in 2012/2013 things got a little easier and with the ESPN app I was able to watch them on my TV through my XBOX which is close to a normal TV experience. And I know many people who do that. But I'm talking about the avg "casual fan" in Lafayette that is watching the LSU game on a Sat night ... but would be just as happy watching the Cajuns if they could watch them on regular TV.
But I wasn't trying to whine and say "why don't we have this now?", or blame anyone why we don't have this yet. I know it isn't an easy fix or short term fix. But this is never something I hear anyone talk about as a long term goal. To me it should be part of the long term goals along with everything else. It goes back to the fact that for UL to really long term get to where they want to be ... they have to be able to get the "casual fans" on board. And imho ... being on TV more would make a huge difference in that area.
jmho.
The administration didn't make those 2 happen. I don't think you understand how this works. If the administrations had any power do you think lsu would ever play a day game ? No, they get moved because of tv wether they like it or not. A few years ago our game with stAte was moved to 2:30 because of tv, I promise you they didn't ask our opinion or permission.Quote:
