Glad to see Bright House is stepping up to the plate. Sucks for everybody who doesn't have BHSN though.

So much for my watch party RSVP I sent out yesterday.

Not on ESPN3. Is on ESPN Gameplan though so prolly will be shown in bars who carry the pkg.

Call WFTS and tell them you are not happy that they are not airing the local game.  They obviously don't think the demand is there if they aren't picking it up - it's easy to show them they are wrong.

Hi BDYZR!
 
We would love to take more USF games but, unfortunately, we (the local affiliate) don't get to choose which games we are allowed to air. The league that a university is a part of makes national deals with the networks on what games each network has the right to air. WFTS/ABC Action News only gets to air the games that the ABC national network gives us to broadcast - which they air out across the country. There are some circumstances where we could request an alternative, but it would only be if the ABC network has the right to air that game. If it's airing on ESPN or any of the other TV networks, we can't even request it.
 
I hope that clears things up. It certainly has no reflection on our USF pride!
 
Thanks,

She went to UCF, it's a conspiracy! No, but that's cool of her to send you a reply so fast.

Well it's showing on their schedule for ESPN3 when you look it up in the app.

BREAKING: #USF announces Channel 28 NOT broadcasting USF-UConn, but school says Bright House, SNY & others will. More details to come.

 

 

Does this mean it will be on BrightHouse 47?

 

Yes

If its on Brighthouse 47, it gets blacked out on ESPN3 to people who get their internet through Verizon.

Sucks for them .... Looks like some nice watch parties at the Selmons around the area, though.

I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere that it'll be on Brighthouse 47. Is there any confirmation of this anywhere yet?

 

Edit: I just saw Trips post above--nevermind.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
