Went to check the guide to see the start time for the selection show. Found this gem.

It's in the listing 'NCAA FSC Selection Special'

At least ESPN doesn't make the bracket....

Yeah I saw that.

The entry-level talent and attention to detail my be lacking as they are dealing with more layoffs coming after the Thanksgiving holiday. It's getting emotionally rough in Bristol. Many of my A&T classmates are really nervous, so I can understand how this mistake made it through the cracks. However, it just makes them look even worse.

I'd bet the people who are still there at this point are seriously overworked and stressed out. I don't blame them for making a few mistakes. I do blame ESPN corporate for putting them in that position.

I'm surprised this isn't being broadcast on ESPN 8: The Ocho.

Also, if ESPN had *****ed up this bad with an FBS selection show, it would already be the front page story on Yahoo.

Well I guess the SOCon championship really was up for grabs yesterday then.

Btw, I assume this will happen anyway, but someone should start a thread and update as the field is set. I get ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN 3, ESPN OCHO, but not ESPNU. xeyebrowx

So does this site still crash and or get really slow on selection sunday due to traffic?

No, it hasn't in years anyway. We are on a powerful mofo of a server these last 8 yrs. or so.

BTW, is this possibly DirecTV or is it this way on other formats as well?

WatchESPN gives you channel permissions based off of your cable package. My xfinity subscription doesn't come with ESPNU so I can't watch it on WatchESPN either.

If you have access to ESPN3, it will be online -- NOT under football but as college studio http://www.espn.com/watch/schedule/?categoryId=118302&type=upcoming

Same here. I have SlingTV. I get everything but the U. Which doesn't affect my life at all but this one day a year.

Its not ESPN3 it's ESPNU.

It doesn't work. I tried to watch the committee rankings when they came out.

Dish Network has it correct. "NCAA FCS Selection Show"

They even have Delaware already listed as the last team in, which was a pleasant surprise. xsmiley_wix

Wish I was up there. I drove home Friday night.

Have fun!



Appears they need to hang Justin Lea back up.

To be honest, I find the online celebration and angst on AGS more entertaining and informative than the ESPN show with its clueless announcers.
