REALLY late start for broadcast! (2 Viewers)

[The Counterfeiter]

8:00 pm - Almost a full quarter left in the ND/MSU game. Can't complain to ESPN - this ain't College Softball! I really don't mind as ND is getting their a$$ kicked again -

Hmm.. ND is on ABC HERE. Not sure what game is holding me up on ESPN2. Have to look again. Yawn.

NHRA delayed, and I can't even watch the game that's delaying the broadcast!

I try not to moan & groan to much when one of our shows is delayed (which seems to be all the time) on ESPN2, I understand how the live broadcasting thing works, but I'm really mad right now. It's not just the fact that Qualifying isn't on, but the NC State/Boston College football game which is delaying the start of qualifying still has more than half of the 4th quarter to go, and it's blacked out in my area. So I only get a black screen on ESPN2 right now.
At least we use to be able to watch the end of the tiddly winks contest, or whatever else it was that delayed an NHRA broadcast. It gave me an idea of when the drag racing show would start... right now I have to check real time scoring online to see how much time is left in the football game.

I have Direct TV and its saying that the drags are not available at all, it's like it has been blacked out??? Our local cable is atleast showing the football game. I wonder what time the race will start?

It's not just the fact that Qualifying isn't on, but the NC State/Boston College football game which is still has more than half of the 4th quarter to go, is blacked out in Vegas.

Couldn't figure this out, thanks for info. It is blacked out here in the Phoenix area too. It gets old with them not starting on time with the race, it's already late to boot. Looks like I will be sending another email to ESPN

Tell me about it. I'm pissed, but not because the broadcast is delayed, I'm pissed because the game delaying qualifying (NC State/Boston College) is blacked out here in Vegas. All I can watch on ESPN2 right now is a blank/black screen. I can't even watch the game that's holding us up!

Hey Jim
whats wrong with college softball? Both my girls play fastpitch softball and I gaurentee that they are way better athletes than you are. So your precious broadcast go pre-empted for some other sport!!! Big deal the world won't end cause of it! At least its not cancelled due to rain or something like that!
Sorry to rant but just hate to hear all this crying about some stupid late start on a tv show. I really get mad when you guys on here bag on softball the girls don't get much respect as it is and if she isn't driving a high horsepower car down the race track and doesn't have a pretty face put up on the screen then you don't want any of it. Have some respect for the other sports out there even if you don't like it doesn't meen that someone else does. Just my two cents worth!!!!!

I can watch ND getting beat (YES! ) on another ESPN channel, but now I can't gage when the NHRA broadcast will be starting. I don't mind that it's a little late, but give something to watch on the channel please.

 

[jpee]

Its 11:23 here in NY I got it on Cable & the Direct satilite... its ON NOW

 

[Nazgul]

Whew!

Finally after changing channels back & forth between picture and no picture, it's on!!!

I guess because CSU is idle, AFA played WYO already and CU lost to UGA they have no reason to black anything out here. ABC has the USC UofA game on. I'm not going to moan if we're delayed because of football, any of the other boring non sports yes, football no.

Kellee - Cox Cable in Phoenix has the ND/MSU on with Drag Racing listed next.
Gave me time to watch all of the NASCAR Truck race which, as Jeff Wolf predicted, was incredible due to the new track improvements!
Don't shoot me . . . I'll take any form of racing I can watch while waiting for Drag Racing!

doesn't have a pretty face put up on the screen then you don't want any of it. Have some respect for the other sports out there even if you don't like it doesn't meen that someone else does. Just my two cents worth!!!!!

Hey.... Hey.... What about that HOT blond who pitches for the TEAM USA ... she can spend the night at my place anytime I'd prob die trying but it sure would be fun...

All sports have good looking women (except golf) maybe 1 or 2

 

[jpee]

[The Counterfeiter]

Lighten up guys! I'm just killing time and having some fun. Guess i should have used National Spelling Bee as an example . . . but that would probably pi$$ off some parent whose kid can spell -
