Note to Beej

Checked this weekend's schedule on espn.com and the ND game will not be on XM tomorrow. Doing a post instead of a PM in case somebody else was planning some getting-drunk-on-boat water-bottle-throwing shenanigans.

Sorry if you knew this already and I'm just wasting everyone's time.

The GT game will be on XM channel 144 instead of the ACC channels because there will already be 5 other ACC games on at the same time.

And it was Wes's call, not the ND guy. Woot.


Also, fwiw, XM's coverage was pretty crappy. They forgot to come back from 'commercial' for one entire Tech offensive series. (the 3rd field goal series) They also missed a few ND offensive plays, coming out of 'commercial' late. Which is lame because half the commercials are just XM promos anyway.

The scenery was nice. I enjoyed it. Plan on doing that a lot more this season.

They must have been using 790's feed - the same thing happened there so I don't think the blame falls on XM.

I was watching on DirecTV HD but listening to 790 - didn't want to hear the homer ND announcers.

i had to listen to part ofthegame on XM... it was funny b/c sometimes the announcers were too busy laughing at the sacks to actually say what happened. i think at one point they just went "ahhaha, oh my... hahaha, my oh my."

i was thinking, "i'm supposing this is a bad thing.."

Wes's call was really fun to listen to. Not sure I'm sold on Van Note yet, but he's growing on me. He always seems so sour. /shrug

Are they in sync this year? I remember trying the same thing last year and Wes was like 3 seconds ahead of my DirecTV HD feed.

Not really - DirecTV was at least a couple of plays ahead of the 790 internet stream. It sucked but not as bad as listening to a 3hr ND infomercial.
