our game against washington state was also on HDNet this past year (as was texas tech, i believe). there are lots of media outlets these days, not just cbs and espn. hell, the san diego game was even on tv. ETA: when i said earlier to someone else that "i'm sure it'll be a nationally televised game. maybe CBS will carry it.", i was probably jumping the gun a little. i wasn't thinking about what ucla was losing. i would still put my money on the game being available on television in mississippi in some form.

Hey honey, I know it's only two weeks before Christmas, but can do you think I could take one thousand dollars to go by myself to Los Angeles? I know our
two children (one of which is still in the womb at this writing) need gifts and all, and I know I already spend three hundred a year for home basketball games,
not to mention the couple of grand I drop during football season for tickets and tailgating, but how about a little me time?

playing a game like this would get us great national exposure? I read that on this very message board.

maybe not "great" exposure, but certainly better. don't get me wrong - i'm in the "win the games you're supposed to win and we
don't have to worry about RPI" boat.

Sorry to burst your bubble. We do not have national appeal to TV. We just don't. As a program, we have respect from other programs. But in TV land,
we are still Mississippi, plain and simple.
And I don't care by which method we lose the game, if we indeed lose - blowout, buzzer beater, blowing a 30 point lead, it doesn't matter. I don't want to hear anyone complaining, You got what you wanted, a road game against an elite program. I am all for upgrading and making an exciting schedule, but not unless some of those teams are willing to come to Starkville, or play us on a true neutral court.

You are General of the message board but not of the house. Got it.

If we have an eight point lead with 48 seconds left and proceed to miss free throws and commit turnovers while UCLA nails threes to take the lead, people are going to complain. So if that or something else gut-wrenching happens, don't read the board for a couple of days.

I could live in that mythical internet world where the man is in complete control of everything in his house, and his wife does whatever he says. Woe is me.
Did I mention the birthday New Orleans trip two weeks before that? Saints/Patriots on MNF.

Neutral court is in west coast time zone. Difficult game because of the travel against a down UCLA. Nothing to gain with the RPI, but so much to lose because
of the neutral court. Play the game at UCLA. If we lose then the computers do us justice. Bad move, because we could have played at UCLA.

How is this any different than when we played Cincinnati last year? Granted, I don't keep up with basketball a lot, but isn't UC a nationally respected
program? I know at the very least they're pretty good.
Plus, I bet Byrne made this move mainly because he was expecting a big name team at that SEC/Big East tournament thing in Tampa and instead we got DePaul. "Because just being good kids who make good grades isn't good enough anymore."- John Cohen

If you try to throw a fastball in and you miss the middle of the plate, the league doesn't care that you're a really good kid. The game says you better execute the pitch." - John Cohen |

If roughly 14 million people across the entire US have access to the network, I cant see how it could be suggested that its nationally televised. Nationally televised, to me, means readily availible to most anyone that watches a decent amount of sports. |
