    Do the Fox college football broadcasts employ the same robot football players as the NFL broadcasts do? If so, that is enough to make Fox intolerable.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      So 8 of the 13 games were available fairly easy. What about the other 5? Were they pac-12? I honestly have no idea.

          Utah State: ESPN 2
          @Fresno St: CBS-SN
          Oregon St: Pac-12 Network
          Colorado: Pac-12 Network
          BYU: ABC

          Contractually, every school appears on the Pac-12 Network twice. I would have to look, but I bet a huge majority of those games involved Colorado and Oregon State.

              And i was right

              Oregon State played 9 of 12 games on the Pac-12 Network and Colorado played 7 of 12 on P12N.

              Moral of the story, don't suck.

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    I don't get it. You're making fun of a channel that is available on essentially every cable and satellite package? We are talking about availability, right?

                    I was able to see that one game on BYUTV only.

                    Had I been interested in watching them at all, I would not have been able to watch the games on the PACXII network.

                      I live in the heart of Pac 10 12 country, have seemingly every sports channel on one of the biggest cable providers in the country (Charter), and don't get the P12 network. I think I could upgrade to it, and probably another fishing or poker channel, but haven't found it neccessary -- the Ducks are always available on one of the other channels.

                        Um, BYUtv is available internationally through their website. Is there any other channel that carries college sports that has that much distribution?
                        "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                              Does Comcast offer you the internets? If so if offers BYUTV.

                                Of course it does, but that's not the comment I was commenting on. (see the thing I quoted......)
