I don't think ESPN covers it?


I know it'll be on NASA-TV...if your cable carries that channel.

O somewhere I thought I heard that ESPN covers it...

Joe Matt 29-01-2003 22:30

Along time ago ESPN used to cover it late at night. Not any more.

D.J. Fluck 29-01-2003 22:31

ESPN's last showing of the championship event was in 1998 (? Maybe 99) No clue on the reasoning why they dropped, and attempts with letters and emails by participants trying to get coverage back have failed.

Now that Disney is out, it would make ESPN coverage almost impossible.

Disney owns ABC Network who also own ESPN

ESPN covers Magic: The Gathering matches... now, I love that game, but frankly, I think we're more deserving of coverage.

I turned on ESPN the other day and they had re-runs of the national spelling bee championships from Washington D.C. ....

I was wondering why that wasn't on PBS or something :confused:

A few weeks ago, I saw a jump rope competition on ESPN2...

Rob Colatutto 29-01-2003 22:41

they have something wrong there if they think jump rope gets better ratings than robotics...

MattK 29-01-2003 22:45

If Tech TV had the resources I bet they would cover it...

Maybe If we asked PBS would cover it, or some station must be willing to broadcast it.

Cmon, it's the spelling bee! Everyone wants it on a sports channel :) so they could watch it after a hockey game or something

There was also that weird game where people push stuff around with big sticks. I think I saw it in the olympics, but I don't remember what it was called.

I thought he was talking about hockey. (Really! I'm not just trying to get the hockey fans' goat -- although that's fun too.:D )

Robotic curling would be an amazing challenge. FIRST 2004? I'm all for it!
