Hey ABC – enough with the Big Ten!
Dear ABC/ESPN Family of Networks:
I may live in Ohio, but I don’t care about the Big Ten, other than Ohio State. It’s bad enough that you don’t understand that and force the Big Ten on us week after week. Today it was Wisconsin-Michigan State, rather than Texas-Oklahoma on ABC.
I can sort of deal with that, but why was ESPN blacked out at the same time? Why wasn’t the Texas-Oklahoma game on ESPN? Why did I have to find it on an alternate channel in standard – not Hi-Def?
Then Saturday night, rather than No. 4 Oregon vs. No. 9 Stanford, you gave us Notre Dame-Boston College. I don’t live in Indiana, I don’t live in Boston – I don’t care about these teams. Why are you showing this game in NE Ohio? And, again, instead of putting a much more important game like Stanford-Oregon on ESPN you give us Penn State-Iowa? Seriously? And you put one of the better games of the day on an alternate channel in standard?
What decade are we living in? There’s no excuse for any major sporting event to ever be shown in anything other than hi-definition. And unless Ohio State is involved, I’ll die a happy man if I never have to see another Big Ten game again.
