WF @ Syracuse - Thursday, September 1st (Wake +6.5)

[Sleepy]

This ESPN3 stuff confuses the shit out of me. Does a game being on ESPN3 mean that there's no way a bar can get the game? Even if a bar has the whole Direct TV package, will the game still not show up?

If it is only on ESPN3, then it is only online.

Don't know if this is Haas but saw this in Pat Forde's dash column on ESPN today

"The Big East (37) will have at least two bad losses. The schedule is set up for opening success: seven of the eight teams at home, and all seven of those are favored. But Syracuse will be taken down by visiting Wake Forest, and Louisville will be stunned by Murray State. The Orange and the Cardinals are both positioned to backslide a bit after significant improvements last season and look vulnerable in their openers."

Just to be clear about Pat Forde's credibility:

1. He rated the Hiring of Marrone 3 years ago a D+
2. He rated the hiring of Chizik at Auburn an F
3. He wrote an article about the greatest rivalries in college hoops and included "Rutgers vs. Seton Hall" He didn't include Syracuse vs. Gtown.

alrighty then.....Pat

there are some bars that have TV's plugged into PC's that can show games on ESPN3, u can call ahead to several bars to find one. if u are local someone probably already knows which one(s) do that.

that's because Syracuse vs. GTown is a shitty rivalry. And the chizik hiring was fucking awful. It wasn't Chizik's superior coaching skill that delivered a briefcase of cash to Mr. Newton.

Thank god someone talked some sense into me. Rutgers vs. Seton Hall it is then! hahahaha

Syracuse v Uconn
Syracuse v Gtown
Syracuse v Nova are all better historical rivalries than rutgers seton hall. hahaha. makes me chuckle. Wake forest vs. "insert acc team here" is a better rivalry.
