Espn Full Court

Did anyone else purchase either the entire season or the half season? I purchased the rest of the season two weeks ago to ensure myself of maybe seeing every Kentucky game up here in Indianapolis. So far so good...Tonight it showed Tenn- Ky at 8pm. At 8pm there was not anything on that channel. I called the local cable company and they said that the game had been blacked out by ESPN. I am in Indy, the game is in Tennessee. Ok, the world might not come to an end if i miss one of Kentucky's last games of the year..(yeah, right!) Oh good, it shows that Louisville is on one of the otherfull court channels....NOT.....Blacked out by ESPN. Well Hell..I'm stuck with watching The Kansas Jayhawks.....You got it!! Blacked out!! The cable person said that they don't have any control over this. My question to the forum is this. Why in the hell do they black these games out up in Indy? I undestand when local teams don't sale enough tickets and the black the game out, but not in this situation. I am furious!! Can anybody give me a logical explanation?

really makes no sense...if you have pay per view you should get it all...the only time i have ever had any trouble with stuff being blacked out on pay per view was if the local team was on it and i could watch it on the local cable channel...weird indeed

You used no periods or capitals in your post Rio. Your post was a complete run-on sentence. You english is suspect. Perhaps you should refer to some of your works of literary genius for help

Funny you do not give a crap about puncuation and in the same thread mention how you wont use certiantypes puncuation. It the legal work we call that self-impeachment.

Here some more help while we're at it Rio: put on chap stick before you kiss my ass. Makes things so much better for the reciever

Now go read your scholarly journals until you fall asleep like a good boy. What is it tonight, a treatise on economy or the tragedy in Dafur?

Original. When there is nothing left but the mother jokes, you know your dealing with a chump.
