Does anyone know where Directv will have the game? It is usually on Fox Sports South, but I did not see it listed there. It is listed for the Fox Sports in the Northeast, but the Triad Directv does not carry it. Any ideas?
 
Can you start a game late on WatchESPN? Or is it live only?
 
Internet broadcast only.

First ACC conference game that I am aware since expansion that does not have a TV outlet. Would guess that it will be the only ACC game this season that will not be available on TV. As an FYI, next week, Furman at NC State will be televised on the ACC Sports Network (the 12:20 game televised on the local TV Channels). For whatever reason, there is no locally televised ACC Network game this week. Would be curious for the explanation as to why this is the only conference game not televised in many years; other than "because it's BC/WF and there is no audience for the game".

I think it was supposed to La. Monroe at FSU, has it already been cancelled because of Irma?

That game was cancelled because of Irma. You could be correct (which would be awful that an FSU beat-down of Sun Belt team would merit TV coverage of a conference game), but I thought that the originally scheduled start time for ULM/FSU was 7 pm. I don't think that there was any ACC game scheduled in the 12:20 time slot for the ACC Network.

Never underestimate their desire to give FSU a BJ when the opportunity presents itself.

Yeah, it's very strange that our game wasn't picked up at all. I mean you've got ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network and the FoxSports local slots for ACC games????
 
FSU was at 7 on ACC Net, then at noon on ACC Net and now won't be happening at all since Irma's projected path has moved westward.

I don't know that the ACC Net will go through the trouble to make a schedule change for a second time
 
Best theory I've come up with on why ULM-FSU and JaxSt-GT were scheduled to be televised over Wake-BC is that both were playing big national games last weekend and there'd be carryover interest in their second game.

And FSU makes sense since they were highly ranked, are playing an FBS foe and could've been #1 in the country if things broke right ... but the GT pick is pretty weird

Why, would you not be entertained at watching Tech roll up 600 rushing yards against an FCS opponent?

Despite that much coveted Boston market...
 
Wasn't just our game that was snubbed -- Indiana-UVa wasn't going to be televised either until there was a cancellation.

Both games I'd much rather watch than JaxSt-GT

Regardless, I think it is sad that the ACC Network would televise a nonconference game over an ACC matchup.

I know, they almost always televised Wake-Duke even when we both sucked mightily during the Caldwell and whoever was coaching Duke days.
