What kind of crap is this? Ohio St. vs Indiana can only be viewed on direct tv and people with regular cable cant watch the game. So here I am right here in Columbus, OH and I can't watch the #1 team in the nation beat Indiana? How can they do this? Who is responsible and where can I protest?
Go Bucks! I will be there in spirit....

I know its on ESPNU but none of the cable networks in Columbus carry that station

Call your local ABC station and see if they can pick it up. If its one ESPNU then they have the rights just a matter of them putting it on.

I so feel your pain! I live in Pittsbugh and the only Pitt game I've seen on tv so far this year was when I was on vacation at the Beach! I had to Drive like 500 miles just to see my home town team play a game! I've got friends in Mich. that get the game every week, and we get the Mich. games so we spend the whole time on the phone tellin each other what's happening! Sad. All so someone can make a few bucks!!

Complain to ESPN they are trying to monopolize the game by not sharing the signal with local stations. If I were you I would boycott watching games unless your team is involved. College FB is just a big moneymaking machine for the Networks and the College presidents.

There are these two men, John and Jeff that live in a bunker somewhere out west that control all of this. They determine TV schedules for all of the college teams and they secretly hate Ohio State because of their success and TBDBITL. They have done this TV snubbing for years, it's just now becoming obvious because of OSU's success.
I am forming a posse to take these guys out if you'd like to join. Just let me know. I can't type much because I think they monitor my computer.
BTW, they also control Walmart. They need to be stopped.

It's a conspiracy! The national media has it in for Ohio St! I even heard ESPN was going to fire Kirk Herbstreit. The national media must be controlled by Michigan alumni?
It's only Indiana. Find a bar, have a drink and deal with it.
Hook'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are. The game is on ESPNU. This kind of sucks as almost no cable system carries it but it is televised.

Go to the game.......
By the way, watch for the upset. Indiana is pretty good. Ohio State is overrated and won't be #1 much longer.

Because OSU is playing a crappy team. It would be like a pro wrestler kicking a puppy.

They won't be number one for long. If they haven't been beaten already, Michigan will beat them on Nov.18th.
