Local Pregame Coverage

[vasqued2]

Did it annoy anyone else that we got the local pregame while everyone else got the national feed?

Seems like if they wanted to give people a choice they could have put the local on 6.

Yes, I didn't like the way the local feed ended and cut into the national feed in the middle of a segment.

in the end it didn't matter,

the Buckeyes choked again. :eek:

aarrrrgh

Ch 6/28/Sinclair is notorious for airing local stuff instead of the network feed. We heard the local stuff all week we didn't need to hear it again.

They did the same thing after the 1997 Rose Bowl. The entire trophy presentation was missed by all of Columbus.

I know it's off-topic but the game was absolutely brutal to watch. First of all, the commercial breaks were long and they were many. The color commentator was awful. Coverage of CFB has gotten to the point of almost being unwatchable. Secondly, OSU's mistakes just drove me crazy. But being a Buckeye and a Browns fan, "there's always next year".

Very hard to watch for all those reasons.

I ended up sling-boxing the pre-game from my mother-in-law in FL and my wife kept asking when 28 was going to cut over...

They're singing the National Anthem, do we have the right channel on the TV...

They're walking onto the field, how come we have Dimetrius...

They're flipping to coin, are you SURE we have the right channel...

Then BAM, there was the cutover.

Yes, cutting the first 15 minutes of national coverage was ridiculous, and the hosts really had nothing to add at that point.

Did anyone watch on DirecTV HD? No sound from halftime through the middle of the third quarter. DirecTV claims responsibility.
