Preseason, Notre Dame had the hardest SOS of any team in college football. USC, Michigan, and Michigan State failed to live up the preseason hype.

I thought all conference teams were required to play each other during the regular season? Yet I do not see that they are playing Syracuse, and I thought Syracuse went to the ACC starting this year. Am I off on my dates?

Tumbas and I were in a hotel room in Providence between a BC225 and a Brown session and we didn’t get espn3. I posted on my FB/Twit that I needed a comcast name and password to watch Denver/Balti and within ten mins I had a friends credentials and I was watching the game, which we hooked up to the flat screen in the hotel through a VGA cable.

So how do I adjust the rabbit ears on my TV to make that work?

I too don’t get why the MLL isn’t on ESPN/ESPN2. I remember a couple years back there was one MLL game a week on cable. Thankfully, my cable provider does offer ESPN and I have an adapter to plug into my tv.

I also agree with what Jeff says below…when an MLL game is on, I have checked ESPN and ESPN2; typically it is Sportscenter being re-run for the 10th time or jokes like bowling, WNBA etc.

You can use espn 3 through an app available on the xbox, and possibly ps3 as well. It’s actually a great app and seems to deliver the games at higher quality than the website version.

Is #81 wearing a helmet cam in that photo?

I haven’t had the opportunity to watch a single MLL game this season either. While everyone was talking about the Boston/Denver game on ESPN last week, they were playing a Rodeo on ESPN here in Idaho… :(

I get ESPN3, but I don’t really like sitting down at my laptop to watch games…I can’t understand why ESPN2 (or even ESPNU, no college games in the summer!) can’t carry more games because there is NOTHING on in the summer…can’t they fit it in with WSOP or whatever other crap they’re showing?
I think another problem is that people are just doing stuff outside in the summer and would rather not sit inside watching a game…also, a lot of the possible fans are at tournaments and camps in the summer and are not in a place to watch the game…for example, I was at the War at the Shore this weekend with 60 other teams who probably wouldn’t mind watching a game but would prefer to play, so there’s a large group who aren’t going to or watching games…there’s pretty much tournaments of this kind every weekend…don’t know what my solution would be, as I want the league to succeed

I’m not able to watch games either and covering the league has been very difficult. Fairpoint also does not provide ESPN3 and honestly, it sucks. Luckily CSNNE has shown replays of Cannons games and I have been to live games to cover them, but if I want to watch the Lizards, or the Outlaws, that’s out of the question.
Hard to blame ESPN. Lacrosse is just not a mainstream sport. It probably doesn’t draw in views all too much. This is more of a problem with cable providers that onlyt a minority have a problem with. Yes, it sucks, but not much ESPN2 and the MLL can do.

I agree that MLL should be on ESPN2. With the NFL in lockout until recently, baseball and golf seem to be about all that is covered. OK, Tour de France was a good diversion, but it would seem that there is TV bandwidth available for some MLL games.
