Yes. There is no excuse for this other than some money-grubbing asshole trying to get rich. Stupid. This is like not showing Ohio State-Michigan in either of those states. There would be an uproar.

I think there would be riots here if they didn't show Ohio State/Michigan. I know Vengeance would be in that riot.

So what are you going to do, super? Are you going to bite the bullet and pay the money? Hell...it sux, but it's almost like a must. You can't honestly consider missing this game..."

I don't know. I might try to find a decent sports bar that has it. Surely there will be somewhere around here that is showing it. I just can't believe that it's not on TV. At least put it on Jefferson Pilot, for god's sake.

Well, I'm pretty sure whoever is responsible for the TV deals for those two teams are going to get a lot of hate mail...

The Jefferson Pilot phone number was posted on Tigernet this morning, I saw. I assume they're going to get a lot of angry phone calls. Cuz this really is just unacceptable.

Football is one of the sports that should not be on Pay-Per-View. I've never heard of it before.

I think that going to a sports bar would be a really fun thing to do. Make sure that the Clemson fans know that you're alumnus. I'm thinking that there might be some cool people there that maybe you could meet. Woo hoo!

That's about the only positive thing that I can think of as a result of the game being PPV only. And advertising the fact that I graduated from there is easy: just wear my Clemson Ring. Anyone who went there themself would instantly know what that means.
And I don't think I've ever heard of football being on PPV before, either. Wrestling and boxing is really all that comes to mind as PPV sporting events. I'm sure I'm wrong on that, but that's what's common, anyway.

WELL ALL RIGHT, THEN! It was just announced that ESPN2 is going to be showing the game in the state of SC. I guess enough influential people got pissed off and raised enough of a stink to get the game on TV where it belongs. Hell yeah.

Sore spot doesn't even come close  It'd be equivalent to OSU-UM not being televised and I know that would cause an uproar. |
