one of the more frustating aspects of the regional TV coverage is that on many occasions, a game will go into OT and pre-empt the next scheduled game. The genius' at ESPN think that 2:30 is the correct amount of time for games to run seamlessly into each other with minimal studio time, however, with 7 minutes of commercial time per period (4X 1:45) even many games that end in regulation will run over 2 hours and thirty minutes.
while there is another thread discussing in detail the 4 regionally syndicated games, I have a question here for those DIE-HARD fans like myself that want to watch ALL of these games in their entirety.
Ill have multiple screens set up at my place, and YES, I do have access to espn360, so those 4 syndicated games are not an issue for me.
What IS an issue is when a lacrosse game runs 7 OT's and we miss most of the 1st period of a game, or is another game runs into double OT and again, much of the game that follows is clipped.
I remember on saturday night last year, they DID slide a game that was being pre-empted over to espn classic, but i dont plan on that happening again. On a thread last year, and people were actually posting links to video streams of these games that were being pre-empted...for whatever reason, events that are on espn and espn2 ARE streamed on espn360, BUT EVENTS ON ESPNU ARE NOT.
So...the games i am worried about being clipped by previous games running long are as follows: IE previous game was only given a 2:30 window
REMEMBER, THESE ARE ONLY ESPNU GAMES, NOT THE SYNDICATED ONES
Fri: Wisconsin/Vermont 9 et (cornell/UNH is at 630)
sat:Miami/Ala-Hunts (preceeded by lacrosse game...need we say more) 4pm
East regional final (preceeded by mia/ala-hunt. game above) 630pm
West Regional final (preceeded by east final above) 9pm
sun: Midwest final (preceeded by NE final at 530) 8PM
Now i know that 3 of these games in question are regional finals and no one knows who will participate in them until the day before, but perhaps this thread can be a clearing house for links to video streams just in case games run long/start of games gets clipped
any help or assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated
