Boise State game and television...

[Cajun_Engr]

I'm not blaming anybody. Just making a point. We want to be the next Boise. Well ... Boise fans are going to be able to sit down in their living room and watch their team play football on TV ... along with the other games throughout the year.

We want to be a big deal, the #2 program in the state ... well, how many big time universities and football programs out there don't have the games shown on TV? They all figure out a way to make it happen.

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.

The reason for no ESPN3 this week is that the Mountain West has a CBS Sports Net contract. They are the home team.

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.

Never mind the fact that almost every game we play is being broadcasted, whether it be on ESPN3 which is pretty easy to watch and in HD, or on TV (ESPN picked us for 2 of the primetime games) as well as road games like Boise and Ole Miss that are both on channels carried nationwide that have deals with the conferences of the respective home teams.

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

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

Unless I'm wrong it looks like most of us won't be able to watch the Boise game? It shows it being on CBS Sports ... which it looks like neither Cox nor LUS carry, only Dish or Direct TV. And then it looks like not going to be shown on ESPN3 since it is CBS.

Every year there is usually only 1 game on the schedule that isn't shown on ESPN3. Sucks it will be this one.

If UL wants more support ... they need to do a better job of getting the games on TV. I know purple and gold "fans" who would watch UL play on TV if they could. But they can't so they don't. Out of sight, out of mind.

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

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.

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
