    I was so mad this weekend because nobody carried the SEC championship game this weekend. Nobody carried any of the divisions title games.

    I'm Fort Worth, TX and searched all afternoon for the LSU game on Sunday. Nobody carried, but ESPN sure did have the College Softball games on all weekend. It really p!ssed me off.

    fox sports south carried it. but, outside their area you would have to have a dish/package that carry all the fsn channels to get it. luckily, i have dishtv and have the fox sports package so i got it. i have that package pretty much specifically for baseball so i can catch regional coverage that i wouldnt get here.

    Bottom line is, networks gear their programming first and foremost to the largest TV markets. That means NYC, LA, Chicago, Philly, Boston, Miami, Houston, DC/Baltimore, Detroit and Atlanta. Very few college baseball hotbeds in there.
