jloos Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 This isn't even the playoffs for Lacrosse? Really? I hate ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn-O Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does the LaCrosse game end in a tie if no one scores by the end of ot? No it goes to double OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyomingsiouxfan Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I have had it with ESPN and their garbage. All the exclusive contracts, putting games on channels almost no one gets (DaveK, we know you think it's the viewer's fault, so don't even start with me today) and putting novelty, alternative sports like Lacrosse ahead of college hockey, which probably has 100x the fan base that Lacrosse will ever have. Anyone who tries to tell me that Lacrosse is a bigger money-maker than hockey (college or NHL) is full or crap or is an apologist for "The Worldwide Leader in Hype." End Rant. Go Sioux!!! I agree with you, but they did have 56,000 people at their national championship game last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody can have a rant, but why would ESPN switch from a game in OT to a game that has just started. How would you feel if they left the Sioux hockey game in OT to go to La Crosse game just starting, just be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 There are more people at this game then the regionals, and more people probably watching its a huge sport on the East Coast. But ESPN promotes themselves as "The Worldwide Leader in Sports" (I like to change the last word to "Hype"). Outside of the Northeast, no one gives a rat's-behind about Lacrosse. What's next, a multi-million dollar contract to cover every Professional Bowling Association (PBA) Tournament? Or how about Lawnmower Racing? I think it's time for a College Hockey Pay Per View package so that people that want to watch the regionals can order the games through their cable provider and ESPN can put all their novelty, alternative garbage on and not tick anyone off.

Sorry, my patience ran out last year when the NCAA catered hand and foot to ESPN and Altitude. And what I just bolded would happen, no ifs, ands or buts.

johndahl Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 If you'd rather see the scheduled hockey program than over half an hour of lacrosse overtime, ESPN would like to hear from you Specifically, the customer service line is 1-860-766-2000...
