Winston-Salem is only an hour and 15 minutes away. There is a large Wake alumni base here in Charlotte. Of course that game would be broadcast here. Would you not expect the UGa game to be broadcast in Atlanta? If you want to complain, complain that there is a contractual obligation to show the Michigan/W. Michigan game as the 'mirror' game on ESPN2 instead of the UGa/Oklahoma St game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320221605077796058.post-54972953145348872182009-09-03T19:55:31.898-04:002009-09-03T19:55:31.898-04:00I'm a Baylor alum in Lenoir, and NEVER get to ...I'm a Baylor alum in Lenoir, and NEVER get to see the Bears play, despite being in the Big XII South -- a major powerhouse.

I doubt a real football fan would prefer that. But anyway, all the uproar about the weather interruptions during the ACC basketball tourney a few years back made a difference, so we might as well give it a shot. Maybe we're not as big, but we could try to be louder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320221605077796058.post-25174291623986181092009-09-03T19:34:31.991-04:002009-09-03T19:34:31.991-04:00Go Deacons!!!!Go Deacons!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320221605077796058.post-14229855421809535082009-09-03T19:23:30.684-04:002009-09-03T19:23:30.684-04:00I'm not surprised nor mad at ABC.

They know (as do all the networks) that the Charlotte affiliate is desparate to help make the ACC appear relevant.<br /><br />This will be a much bigger issue later in the season when a monster CBS SEC game is not being shown while 2 pathetic ACC teams go into triple OT in their noon game and we have to suffer through the awful football while real football is preempted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320221605077796058.post-68721666616825376862009-09-03T19:22:21.808-04:002009-09-03T19:22:21.808-04:00I've actually called and emailed regarding thi...I've actually called and emailed regarding this same thing before and received some nasty responses from both WSOC and ABC for the decisions of which game to show.
