FSU vs MIA on ESPN2

[gueman]

I don't know how many of you are watching the FSU vs MIA game on ESPN2 but talk about a worthless gimmick. Maybe I'm getting old but who can watch 8 images simultaneously? I gave it a shot now time to change back.

[twi]

I agree, one channel is enough. I haven't switched from espn at all.

For Full Circle events with basketball, ESPN 2 was used for the above the rim cam so I think with football they should use the above the rim equivalent: the sky cam. Eight screens only work if you know that you're going pick one and then make it full screen on a different channel, with only one station, it gets kinda pointless.*

*-I'm watching on ESPN 360, which is basically the same as ESPN just with different commercials and lower picture quality. Ah, the joy of not having cable.

I understand on ESPN U they have Skycam too, ahh like Willie Mays with the Mets ESPN is not aging gracefully.

[OB33]

Ahh, the U has the skycam, makes sense.*

*-Not to be confused with Miami, also known as the U

In my opinion, ESPNU should have had the 8 screens and ESPN2 should have had Skycam since most people don't get ESPNU (at least I don't on my cable plan)

i agree. no matter how loud i scream to the cable company, espn u won't become available. they wasted an entire 3 1/2 hours of programing on espn2 tonight. What a game, though. Bobby Bowden should have a shot at another title with that cupcake schedule.

I liked the 8 cameras on "dos"; it was more like a sports bar feel to one game. The cameras on the two coaches were somewhat of a waste. They were acting as if we were in the production truck. Because teh game was on a Monday, this could be teh rason why tehy elected to have the 8 screens on ESPN2 as opposed to ESPNU. A Saturday night game when their ausience is even more segmentes might give then the belief that this gimmick would worh on a more limited signal.

As for those who have ESPNU like me, it is not very good; CSTV is the same. While you might be able to get it with an expanded package, it is not worht it. I pay teh extra $5 for Fox Soccer Channel and I even live inteh west coast, so teh EPL is on EARLY for me.

I flipped over curing a FSU possession and it looked stupid to have a camera on only Wright or Wetherford the whole time because while their team was on defense they just stood around and didnt do anything.

[OB33]

If my calculating is correct ESPN had as many channels covering the game as there were total rushing yards between both teams.

Take that stat as you wish.

[Maz]

I saw that.

Its neat becuase you can see alot of things at the same time.

Yet distracting.

[yh]

Hmmmm, perhaps we should refer to ESPN2 as "The Ocho."

[See Red]

I, personally, thought it was pretty pointless as well.

I'd have loved to have been able to watch the entire game from the Skycam, since I was working at the time (I work at Chilis) so I had two of the TV's watching the regular broadcast, and would've had a third on the skycam, rather than just on ESPN 2 with the eight cams. I thought it was equally pointless with the Duke/UNC game last year where they had one channel dedicated to the Cameron Crazies. We know what a crowd looks like and don't need a channel dedicated towards showing them. No matter which team won the game, they'd have had a moderately easy road towards the National Championship, too. Easier than most teams, anyways.

It was really pointless, then again this is the same network that thinks

cup-stacking is a sport.

Great game though.

Really you thought it was a good game. It was close but that was an ugly game. Niether one of those teams should have been ranked as high as they were. I didn't think that either defense was real dominate just both had inept offenses that made them look that way. That was just an ugly game.

As far as ESPN though I agree with you.

[KevinMcD]

That was a boring game until the 4th quarter. But the 4th quarter was OK but not the best game ever.

i meant to say was it was a close game but i agree it was a sloppy game.

[NJTank]

It was a terrible game
