Wow, seriously?

yup.. not super freaking happy about it. I planned my afternoon around this game and it looks like I won't see one minute of it. Not that Glenn wasn't important, but I don't want to listen to a bunch of people get up and read a speech someone else wrote for them... also, tell us ahead of time if you're planning on screwing us like this.

I hope not.

 

[gpm1976]

I hope not.

I remember when I had hope. There's only one way to get through this season..

Yep... Kind of irritated me. I tried a bar at halftime, and they didn't even have it.

I'm tempted to email/write the station to let them know how annoying it is to plan on one scheduled program, but be forced to watch something else. Unless I completely missed it, there was no advanced warning that the game would be interrupted. For that matter, why would they assume that people tuning in for a basketball game would want to sit and watch the JG memorial anyways? Oh well..

Where were you trying to watch it from(location)? I live in PA and was able to watch the game in its entirety.

Delaware, OH.. North border of Columbus. The three major networks were all running it.

Different game same bad stuff from Ohio State

my favorite part was the at least 3 times where we would get a defensive rebound, and make a immediate lazy pass that ended up right in the hands of a UCLA defender for a easy layup.

Especially when ( and I'm assuming here ) the memorial was on every other local station as well

Speaking of which, MSU is having an embarrassing season. Losing to Northeastern.

Illinois looking good against bad teams, with the exception of Winthrop, and bad against the good teams, with the exception of VCU.

9-3 right now but realistically only 8-3 because nobody will count the McKendree win come tournament time. Looking like a good chance for a W against Mizzou on Wednesday so 9 wins heading into conference play. Would need 12 conference wins and looking at their schedule I don't see many good chances.

I see three wins that'll be fairly easy for them. @ Nebraska, @ Rutgers, and home vs. Penn State.

Another 5-6 that are iffy. So they'd need to win at least 5 of those, all 3 of the ones above, and then pull 4 more upsets to have a chance at the tournament.

Groce is recruiting finally. Couple of big gets in the next class

My guess is that some stations in Ohio carried that coverage because he was from Ohio? Like I said nothing was interrupted in PA.

I live down the road from Champaign. But was raised an FSU football fan. I like Illinois football as well, but that's ugly
