UNLV on Versus
It looks like the UNLV game this weekend is on Versus which is no longer offered by DirecTV…(something about Versus wanting too much money for their awesome hockey coverage and DirecTV not wanting to pass that along to their customers…thanks, DirecTV) any idea if it will be carried locally?

I looked...I saw...I breathed a sigh of relief...
…as ADMM greeted me. All is right with the world.
We win going away.

hook your cable directly into your tv
and bypass the box. it should fix it

Having the same problems.
However, I switched to a TV without the box, and I am getting it.

This is awesome
The channel is unavailable even though I pay for it and ESPN360 has a regional blackout.
by Dais on Nov 23, 2009 7:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
That would require an antenna, though I appreciate the recommendation
by Dais on Nov 23, 2009 7:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
No. just a cable line without the Insight box.
I had the same problem you had with my box, but I’m watching on normal cable on a different tv.

This is my problem when stuff is on ESPNU
My provider claims we have it, but the channel says to call the provider. 360 won’t show games on their TV network.
P.S. nice drive by Sosa.

What's with the tshirts?
I feel like everyone knows something i don’t
by Centre24 on Nov 23, 2009 7:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Pitino has always opposed them
But Preston wore them in High School. He was the only one on the team with guts enough to ask Pitino if he could wear one, and now others are talking about wearing them too.
by Dais on Nov 23, 2009 7:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
As long as he keeps the headbands away
Not a fan of those at all.
by Remote Cardinal on Nov 23, 2009 7:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
are they compression shirts?
perhaps they were recently issued to the entire team by the uniform sponsor?
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:25 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
no, they are just like the picture of Preston on the front page

by cardscott5 on Nov 23, 2009 7:27 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
oh ok
I haven’t been able to look at the site for a couple days; didn’t realize his photo was up. On TV, they look pretty tight-fitting for regular cotton shirts but I guess that’s not important right now.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:33 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, they are tight
That must be the caveat to wearing them. They could be compression, but Jennings’ doesn’t look like it is.

Cinci beat Vandy and is a lot better than anyone gives them credit
they are a top 25 team
by Centre24 on Nov 23, 2009 7:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I feel like Pitino is going to be kicking himself when Lance Stephenson blows up
That is until his academic problems are reveled after he leaves and vacates all Cinci’s wins from this season
by Centre24 on Nov 23, 2009 7:55 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I bet
Cinci finishes top 6 in Big East this year
by Final4Galore on Nov 23, 2009 7:56 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah seemed weird that Vandy was the ranked team in that matchup
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 7:58 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Vandy's b-ball coach should get more credit than he does
they’ve been consistently decent/good the past 6-7 years

have they ever made it past the Sweet 16?
not being a jerk just curious
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:03 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not that I recall
but it’s always hard to win consistently at an academic school
by Centre24 on Nov 23, 2009 8:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, but Vandy doesn't have an Athletic Department
and doesn’t pay coaches like Duke does.
by 83fan on Nov 23, 2009 8:07 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
exactly
the people at Vandy will probably never stress athletics like the Dukes and Stanfords of the world. They would kill in the Ivy League though.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
which makes their success more impressive
by Centre24 on Nov 23, 2009 8:08 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
couldn't agree more
should not be that consistently “good”
by UL is my hot hot sex on Nov 23, 2009 8:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I would agree with you in some sports
but basketball is a little easier to recruit and compete at the elite academic level. I think Vandy has other issues.

This team looks like they're having a lot of fun
On Buckles’ full court heave, Pitino started screaming at him right when it missed. When Buckles looked over in fear, Pitino and the entire coaching staff were beaming huge smiles at him.
When both Buckles and TJ airmailed threes late the entire bench was rolling, but carefully. They were all eying Pitino to see how mad he was
