I didn't think we had a shot, but am surprised to see that tonight's ND-Alabama game on ESPN is being done in High Def. Interesting...

All the games on ESPN from what I remember has been broadcasted in HD. I'm thinking atleast for the past 18 mths now.

Anything on ESPN is automatically on ESPNHD. Whether they use their HD trucks for those games is a question of availability. Unless they need those teams elsewhere on Friday or even Saturday, we should get one for the GU-ILL game tomorrow.
Of course, there's nothing worse than an ESPNHD program that isn't in HD and has those two "ESPN bars" on either side of the picture.

Almost true... all ESPN games are ON ESPNHD, but some have those stupid bars on either side because they didn't send their HD units. A few of their noon college football games have been like this. |

Not just SOME programming on ESPNHD has the bars, a ton of it is actually standard def. I shouldn't complain actually too much because ESPN's HD channel is WAY better than most in this regard. ABCHD? Yeah right, nice try fellas. 6 hours of HD prgramming a year does not an HD channel make. I am looking in your direction too NBCHD.
I think every college hoops game on ESPNHD I have caught thus far this year has been standard def. Granted I have only caught a few, but this is the first true HD broadcast of a college hoops game I have seen.

I agree, bin. ABC is the worst. I think they have one HD unit and that goes to Monday Night Football.
Plus most network TV programs are in standard def (Fox is actually the best). Wish they'd get their acts together.

I actually have thought about conducting a popular movement to pressure the negligently cheap networks like abc and nbc into getting their assses in gear a little bit or face a boycott of sorts aimed at their major sponsers. But it turns out I am not cut out for protesting the Man. ABC has so many good college football games and their standard definition (on almost every single one) is actualy the worst standard def you will find. Its like 1977 over there at ABC sports headquarters. THey might as well be wearing the mustard blazers.
Fox is good here and you have to give props to CBSHD- whose audio package is insane with their HD.

Very exciting -- I was trying to find this out myself, and I saw that the game was going to be on ESPNHD, but, as many of you pointed out already, that ofen just means SD with bars.

Do you know, will there be an Illinois contingent at Gamekeeper's tonight? I only ask because of the BIG NEON ILLINI LOGO they have in their window. I'll be ready to throw down in case things get unruly.

Gamekeepers is everyone's bar, which is a good call - without people coming to watch games that place would be empty except for Fri/Sat 1am-5am. I'm not sure if the Illini contingent will be there or at one of the 700 other Illinois bars in town ... we'll find out in a few hours.
