February 23, 200818 yr Someone needs to get fired over that. I wonder how many UK fans got upset? Allow me to start the list here. 1
February 23, 200818 yr Someone needs to get fired over that. I wonder how many UK fans got upset? CBS's phone number is all over other boards. I feel bad for that operator who probably thinks there trying to call the United Kingdom.
February 23, 200818 yr RP your loving all this aren't you? I can not type the words to express my enjoyment.
February 23, 200818 yr Y'know, compounding matters, this Duke-Johnnies series hasn't really ever been much of a competitive one, and probably doesn't warrant anything more than ESPN regional. I give up; you Wildcat fans win. The conspiracy clearly exists ...
February 23, 200818 yr Discussion Thread --------------------------------------------------------------- Response (Will K) - 02/23/2008 05:11 PM I am truly sorry about this, it was not our intention to breakaway from this game but due to TV rights the Duke game must be shown on national TV. I will pass this issue along to one of our producers and make sure that they know about this issue and to make sure that we accomodate our viewers. Just one more reason to hate that other team.

February 23, 200818 yr RP your loving all this aren't you? When the game went off the air, the first thing I thought of was how much fun RP is having. I think he is the guy behind the plan!!!!!!:laugh:

Who would have thought it was some Duke alum in a control room having a laugh.
February 23, 200818 yr It did not effect the coverage where I was. I was listening to the Kentucky post-game show and CBS said it was a mistake on their part.
February 23, 200818 yr I really think it was CBS...not your local cable affilliate. It was..I was listening to the UK post game show and they said the Station in New York made a mistake.

The maddening thing for this UK fan is seemingly every Tuesday on ESPN the Big 10 game runs to 9:10 and by the time they swich over to the UK game it is just in time for the first TV timeout.

What kind of repsonse is this? In Cincy they switched back to the UK game, if they had to show the Duke game why would they switch back. CBS needs to issue a "My bad" and I'm cool with everything.
