You can always watch Va Tech and Maryland live (and on replay) on ESPN360.com

Nice plug SS. I did watch Maryland on ESPN360 once or twice for a bit this season. I guess I really need to build that HTPC soon...

Comcast is much worse. Consider Dish Network. I've had it for years and love it, especially for sports. I'll NEVER return to cable, but Comcast is the worst. I have to deal with them for over a dozen sites with my job and they're a nightmare when you need to contact them or have a far-too-frequent billing issue to fix.

well it's doing it yet again on another college football saturday, this time it really makes no sense. so it is between stanford notre dame, and ga tech georgia, on espn 2. ga tech and georgia is on abc so it would seem like notre dame stanford should be on espn 2, but it's blacked out yet again. although this time the game is actually on channel 211 which is espn-a their alternate channel. which would be fine except it's not in hd.

i understand there are restrictions on what games get aired but how can it be blacked out but then on the alternate channel not in hd. wtf?
