ESPN had the games on ESPN, 2, U, News, classic and I think online and such with different content.

Did anyone watch any of the others?

I watched a bit on them.

ESPNU- Complete garbage. Had guys like Wilbon, Schlerith, Melrose, some fugly ladies soccer analyst, and a couple of other people. They were just atrocious. They were ripping OSU big time for scoring that last TD. Was unwatchable.

ESPN2- Had a few coaches from other teams and they broke down the play right afterwards with the replay. Wasnt too bad, but not something you could watch the whole game.

ESPNEWS--do not get so cannot explain.

ESPN-had the normal telecast. Herbie does a good job.

ESPN Classic. Had what was called the 'sounds of the game' They had no announcers. You just heard the crowd noise, bands, and PA announcer. It was.......pretty damned cool. Kept going back to that channel to watch.


Just wondering if anyone else tuned in and what they thought.

I had it on 2 for a second. They had two live camera angles throughout the game, I believe. It was weird.

I watched ESPN (i.e., the normal telecast with Herbie and Fowler).

I recorded the ESPN Classic (i.e., all the sounds) and ESPN2 (i.e., the breaking down the plays). Can't wait to watch the other 2 this weekend!

During the game, the Classic was awesome. Started watching it at like 8pm and they had alot more of the pregame stuff on the field...it literally was like you were there.

We flipped to Classic for a moment. It was interesting. I was kinda hoping we would get to see the new endzone pylon cameras though. Those would be sweet!

Wanted to watch Classic but no classic in HD here.
Couldn't imagine anything less enjoyable than watching with the idiots on the U.
Really enjoyed watching with the TV muted and listened to ESPN radio call.

Funny thing was the ESPN classic feed, at least on our cable system, was 2-4 seconds ahead of the ESPN feed. Couple of times yelled what happened and the people in the other room got pissed!

Probably same reason I've recorded every game. With plans to watch it again when bored at home, but then never do, or can't get into it, when I already know the outcome.
