Title: TV for the Misery Game?
Post by: illinismitty on December 10, 2020, 09:18:37 AM
I heard that it will be televised on an alternate SEC network channel? Anyone else hear that?

Yeah, I believe that is correct. The DIA is suppose to release a statement on it by the end of Friday, I believe, on how/where to watch it. I don’t have the SEC Network and this sucks because this is the game I wanted to watch the most.

Maybe if the game were on 3 to 5 more stations, everyone could watch it.

How in the hell was there no Mark Smith/Tempo reference in this thread yet?

Whitman dropped the ball here. There should have been language in the contract prohibiting alternative channels. This is a big rivalry game that fans around the country want to watch. SEC alternate channel. What the fuck?

Not that I find the need to remember these things, but didn't we have a similar issue last year or whenever ?
When the games are in St Louis, doesn't the network for the home team conference get broadcast rights ?
This year's game was moved due to Covid, and Mizzou won a coin flip for the game to be in Columbia.

Directv channel 611-1.

Beating these fucksticks is another thing on Ayo’s list to cross off before he leaves.

Illini also open up as a -1.5 pt. favorite. O/U 143.

I figured it would get picked up somewhere better than SECALT 69

Looks like ESPN moved the Saturday night Baylor-Ok St football game from ESPNU to ESPN at 2:30, which they could do because the 2:30 MSU-PSU game got moved to 11am on ABC, which they could do because the 11am Ok-WVa got covided.

Not even sure I have ESPNU anymore. Truthfully, outside of NFL I don’t watch a lot of sports these days.

That seems high for a game in their gym, but they do not appear to be very good.
We hold down Smith should win. Another team like Duke that cannot shoot.

Here is interesting factoid- DaMonte Williams has eFG% of 87.5 and is 9/13 on threes.  :o
Seriously you could put very few guys in an empty gym and have them hit 9/13 threes.
He is kind of becoming a player......

I watch a lot of golf. One thing I could do besides road biking in Covid pandemic and played a lot.
Watching fair amount of BB. Hope the season does not go into some kind of shutdown.

Agree. Its a true road game and we will not shoot 7-11 from three again like at Ratfck Arena.

Could be a real dogfight. KenPom has us winning 72-71.
