sooooooo, when rays or lightning or even pre-1996 bucs games arent on tv, NEWS STATIONS cant find info on the game?  that's odd....shouldnt they have a reporter IN ATTENDANCE?!

I dont know, but I saw Kelly Ring. I have to tell you that Kelly Ring is way hotter in person than on TV. Wow!!

Channel 8 showed the score... but didn't have highlights because the game wasn't on TV.

Isn't Kelly Ring like 45...?

I always wanted a cougar..

I stayed up watching sports center...I may have missed it...but I never saw or even heard anything....my family thought I was having a heart attack when I saw the score across the bottom....

Besides the score ticker, there was no mention of USF winning. ESPN was full of crap, they kept saying "On upset Saturday, well show you all the games that shook up the top 25".

I don't believe the game not being televised had anything to do with the lack of coverage.  This is not the first time a RMC upset over a TOP25 team did not awaken the media establishment.  Except for the beat writers, they're just like the guy that graduated in '95 and still hasn't been to a football game yet - still waiting on it to be THE THING to do.  Really, if you believe that the stations don't have cameras there (or can't have cameras there) or that USF can not provide highlight tape, you're mistaken.  It's a matter of wanting to report it; wamting to report what they believe the community wants.

IMHO, it's a much larger problem than having the game itself televised.

Again, CH 13 and CH 11 sent camera crews to do highlights for the news. And CH 9's sister station, Catch 47, that reshows Sports Connection, had a camera crew there doing the womens game.

Please tell me that all of the previous posts were jokes. PLEASE.   :o

No.  The channel 13 report was excellent.  Then I watched channel 10 and Angela Jacobs started talking about it but the video showed Lightning highlights so she started talking about he Lightning game and never went back to the USF game.  I couldn't believe it.

Part of the problem, this time, may have been the timimg of the game .... SB weekend. Any other weekend, with the nice advance sales for the game due to the Irish "name", there probably would have been more coverage, tv and print.
