Well isn't that convenient...
Is it just me, or would this map seem to indicate that PSU at Iowa is considered the ‘second tier’ game throughout the entirety of Big 12 country?
No wonder the trend of the Big 12 fellating itself is so well sustained.
There is a tractor in the parking lot, West Virginia license EIEIO. Your lights are on.
Well sure
Doesn’t it make sense that a game featuring Big 12 teams (Texas A&M versus Oklahoma) would get on ABC within Big 12 territory? The good thing is that the TV deal that the Big Ten has ensures that games like this PSU-Iowa game appear on ESPN or ESPN2 as well and are essentially national broadcasts.
As a DC resident
I’m shocked the Clemson/Florida St game did not get picked up by the ABC affiliate. This is the first time in a while where WJLA chose any conference over the ACC. Although I’m not really sure they ‘choose’. Either way, it’s strange.
Overall, it is irrelevant, because ESPN would have shown the game had it not been on ABC. However, the ESPN feed will be standard def, so that’s one reason I’m happy it’s on ABC in DC.
And check the ABC coverage map here.
Not that surprising
While, it’s not frequent, it has certainly happened in the past that Big Ten games end up featured in DC over ACC options. If the ACC game doesn’t involve Maryland, Va Tech or UVa and the Big Ten game features PSU, it’s actually pretty likely that WJLA would opt for the Big Ten game. I mean, unless the ACC game featured a more important national storyline, I guess.
Is it just me or are the colors backwards on the map?
This map shows PSU-Iowa playing in Va down to FL and the Clemson-FSU game in PA, the northeast and Iowa.
so when we are winning by 50
like against syracuse and oregon state they can take the game off and we can have the same game on abc and espn again and miss the end, SWEET!
LOL
I don’t even recall the game that the Oregon State game got switched over to, but I remember it being every bit as much of a blowout, only involving a team I didn’t care about.
