Even though the game was listed in our local paper for ESPN2 we're getting UConn v KSU here in San Diego.
I called my Time Warner folks to bitch and they gave me an ESPN number: 888 549-3776. They said the programming choice was ESPN's.
I called and actually got a human being, Bob, who informed me that only selected regional areas were getting the Stanford game while the majority of the country would be getting 'whip-around' coverage to ensure the most compelling game was broadcast.
Bob explained that only northern California was considered regional by ESPN so southern California would be getting the whip. At that time the UC/KSU game was 15-3, UConn. Really compelling.
They told me to go to ESPN3, I told him I pay $150 a month to my cable company why should I have to watch a game on my laptop? Stanford is higher ranked, I'm in the Pac12 footprint, what gives?
Robbie, is it hubris or do they just enjoy sticking it to the West Coast folks? BTW, the game was 29-5 when I turned it off.
