too bad what could be a high profile game on that dog crap channel
I know I'm in the minority but I don't mind the LHN. I've watched several games on there and it's a relatively high quality broadcast, and the announcers are typically not UT homers. I'm going to the game so it doesn't matter much to me, but I will DVR it to watch later.

ESPN burned their #1 pick that week (not just in the Big 12 but all of College Football) to carry it on the LHN, it isn't moving. It is what it is, if it keeps Texas happy in the Big 12 then so be it.

The bigger the game turns out to be the better LHN will love it. What a ******* big ass joke that these two teams will play and not be seen by anyone but diehard fans of the two teams.

How will ISU fans watch it? The game will not be on Cy.tv...

Do we have a choice in agreeing to this?
Nope.

I believe if none of the TV networks had picked it up we would've had to come to an agreement to put it on their third tier network (as we did in the past when cyclones.tv ended up sharing it ) but this time ESPN stepped in, used one of its picks, and gave the game to LHN

The rumor was ISU declined for it to be on LHN with Cyclones.TV simulcast (probably since there have been issues on the LHN side every year simulcasting it) so ESPN used one of their auto picks to get the rights to it and put it on LHN anyways (with no Cyclones.tv).

I thought that ISU did have a choice but Jamie has always agreed. Did we get the allowance to show the game in Iowa this year? Pretty sure they did that one of the previous times it was on the LHN.

Ever more reason to hate E$PN. If that was possible. LHN is not even in the Sling sports pack. Illegal stream it is. Who hoo.

I don't think anyone is complaining about the quality of their production (it's operated by ESPN, after all) rather the lack of perceived exposure.

On your TV, how about? It's available from most carriers. You might have to loosen the purse strings and spend $8 on a sports package.

I mean, before being a **** about it you should probably check whether it is available on one of Iowa's largest providers, mediacom. It is not. Even in a sports package.

Agreed. I have Sling with the sports pack and don’t get LHN. A lot of people will be scrambling to find this game. I’ve already used the Vue free trial. Are there any other free trials available; otherwise, it might be a bar for me
