Boise State game and television...

[CrazyCajun]

On the main channels (ESPN or ESPN2) in primetime. There are others on ESPNU and ESPN News

Those are regional, on espnu and espn news there are other games being played in other parts of the country.

CBS Sports website has a link for an app that says you can watch live events on your phone.

I have the app, and unless it somehow hooks to the channel that night, I don't see in the app itself where you can watch the channel.

We need to bombard cox with calls and emails. No reason for not having this station.

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

It's on Uverse. Should be 1643

you have to have the U200 (with the optional sports package), U300, or U450 package.

Conference affiliation is the deal breaker/maker here. As far as this game MWC has a primary contract with CBS Sports Network and a secondary deal with ESPN. The ESPN deal will have the biggest Boise games and provides a Notre Dame type deal with Boise. They have to televise 3 Boise home games per year on either ESPN,ESPN2, or ABC. 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 them

Like 9/25 for the App St/Ga Southern game:

Or read this press release about the SBC's ESPNU games, all listed as nationally broadcast: http://www.sunbeltsports.org/news/20...401143711.aspx

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.

Do you not remember the Ragin' Cajun Network? Pretty sure the university took a loss to put games on regional tv & ESPN 3 through the RCN. I'm pretty sure they've done everything in their power to put games on TV.

This is 2014. Live streaming is the future and it's much better than what we had before Get used to it.
