• ESPN for bowl games not everyone has cable.

  • FACT: Most people in America who watch football have cable.

  • I agree Kim!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I no longer have cable or a dish and ESPN is now monoplizing sports but that is ok I'm finding books, movies and keeping my dollars.

  • For real !!!!

  • When do you think "reruns" will be on the web? That would be a wonderful thing to celebrate!

  • Try Sling. There is a 7 day free trial. We tried it last night and could watch ESPN, ESPNU and ESPN2 among others.

  • I will never lower myself to cable TV...professional pick pockets.

  • There are some games on local channels..,not many though

  • I agree with you a lot. We don't have cable .

  • Those defending cable. ..until the 80's, TV was free to audience. Sure cable brought tons of channels, but the early ones like HBO were commercial free. That's how TV was paid for. ..advertisers who targeted the audience. Cable channel content providers (like Viacom) is taking $$ coming and going. Charge cable providers and advertisers.

    Be aware, those who have cut the cord, Comcast and others are going to start putting data caps on Internet.

    Fyi, you don't need Sling anymore either. Windows 10 will beam it to TV via your network.

• I agree!! It's all about the money!! Wake up America!!!

  • JOE Says it's Always About the Money & more so today than ever in my 66 years on planet earth!! From my, "
    For What it's Worth Department!"

• All about the money? Isn't that what makes America, America??
  We are awake and going to the bank??

  • All about the money? America was founded on an ideal. Self-determination. It also allows us to keep what we earn.

    I visited The University of Alabama and have changed my thoughts on college sports money. It's amazing how much money there is and how ALL of the students benefit from it. Without football money, college tuition would be an even bigger scam!!!

• SEC rules.

• Steve thats pretty much tha most dumbass generic American response...and exactly why we're in this mess... we HAVE no money! our goverment/society and brains..are OWNED by corporations...and that sir is NOT what makes America America.....just ask all those dudes that fought and died in almost every war in history...to keep that from NOT happening.

  • Thank you Brandon - USMC

  • Agreed, with you on the greed! The U.S. takes in 3 trillion a year in taxes, yet spends 3.5 trillion. So we borrow 500 Billion dollars a year! 70% of those are short term loans, under a year in length, so we keep rolling them over and over. And we have printed 3 trillion dollars since 2006, quintupling the amount of currency in circulation, just to pay the interest on these loans...it was called "stimulous", but it was really the massive printing of money to temporarily pay our debts. Yet we keep spending. It also financed huge "bailouts" of corporations that made greedy, bad, and irresponsible choices. They dropped the prime interest rate to zero, in hopes that low interest loans would spark the economy, and easy money and greed have popped up yet again. I keep hearing of all these new jobs created, but Wal Mart is down 31%. Online retailers like Amazon may have something to do with that, but Amazon is trading at 20 times it's net worth! That alone is insight into how artificially inflated the stock market is! There are insane amounts of debt from student loans, auto loans, and emerging market loans infesting the bond market, where 2 out of 3 dollars are invested, double the dollars in the stock market. In the last 6 months alone, GMAC, General Motors in house financing, has made 6 billion in auto loans, 70% being considered subprime loans, and 40% considered "deep subprime". I could go on and on but the bottom line is that sooner rather than later we will have to pay the piper! Millions will lose their retirements, and there is nothing the Federal Reserve or our equally greedy politicos can do about it, even if they wanted to.

• Only 1 game over the air? Boycott ESPN now.

• The first time in over 50 years of watching bowl games on TV that I have been excluded from watching bowl games today because I do not subscribe to some overpriced cable tv or satellite tv provider. What have we become!

  • Get a life Bob...Basic cable is not expensive...it's your choice...and if you have a computer, I really hope you have a computer Bob...you can watch it online FREE

  • Max, that's pretty arrogant of you. Basic cable in my area, the tier that carries ESPN, costs $36 and they require a box to descramble the signal ($6). Want that in HD? ($10). DVR? ($10). Add tax, broadcast fee, and fcc fee.

    $45 or more might be "not that much to you," but is a lot to others.

• OMG....you seriously turned -- a bowl game being on ESPN -- into something about military??!!
  Yeah....that's what America is about:: yer OWN friggin agenda!

  • Can you say monopoly boys and girls sure you can

• YOU CAN WATCH E.S.P.N. FREE ONLINE..... JUST LOOK FOR IT. OR LOOK UP SLING TV,,,, IT'S BAD ASS

• ESPN ---- they do sports....get used to it & btw, it ain't new.
