First, we have to say, WTF? Second, why VERSUS?!
Cal announced that the 110th Big Game (yes, the annual rival match against Stanfurd) will not air on ESPN or ABC or even the really shitty Fox Sports Net, but on a network where the NHL went to rot in hell for all eternity.
Yes, this year’s Big Game will air nationally, which is nice, but on the network that used to be called the Outdoor Life Network, now known as Versus.
The only positive? Most cable providers already have Versus on their basic cable packages. The huge negative? It’s on Versus.
So, next year, on Versus: more NHL that no one watches, the Tour de France, some show about hunting, fat guys fishing, grown men fighting in a cage and the Big Game.
This has to be a slap in the face to Cal football, but it’s probably more of a reflection of how bad the Card has been the last half decade.
Oh well, at least for all those Cal fans who can’t go to the Big Game, they can watch it on TV. Our question: can you get Versus in high-def?
