    shame on you, non-believers
...Is it a national broadcast? Is there even such a thing as a regional ESPN game?

National. 
Regional ESPN broadcasts are handled by ESPNU and ESPN+. 
Anything on ESPN is national.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Awesome, thanks. I thought that was how it worked, but I didn't want to assume anything.

it is retarded but not as retarded as when ESPN2 had their HD cameras, trucks, and set up @ the Fresno State game and chose to broadcast it live in SD.   :flush:

Nope.  Just because it's broadcast on ESPNHD doesn't mean the game itself will be broadcast in HD.  Any game on ESPN will be broadcast on ESPNHD.  The game will be broadcast on ESPNHD in SD.

 :ohno:

Pessimism runs rampant on K-State boards these days, but yours is by far the most annoying, because you try too hard to be so. Let it go. Let yourself hope once again.

I'll concede the game not being in HD since it's national.

Not sure but I think they need to know well in advance because of scheduling issues with their limited HD equipment.  Looking at the other games on ESPN this Saturday, I can understand why we're not.

stick with the rss updates, let us big kids talk tv stuff.

Scratch that- after careful investigation I found out that Ch 620 is now broadcasting 3D holograms.

You actually have to get robot eyes to experience Ch. 620 at full capacity. Human eyes are incapable of seeing at that high a resolution.

Well your right it's not in true HD, but it will still be a better quality picture on espnhd channel than regular the espn channel, and then to watch it on a hd television.

color is better on the espn hd channel, but the "definition" is the same.  I was just flippping back and forth during PTI.
