Thursday and Friday and not a single televised mens hoops game . Hint nobody but nobody wants to watch the women .
No wonder ACC network gets no ratings.
- Thread starter tetonpanther
- Start date
I wouldn’t play games on Friday, but the ACC should play games Monday-Thursday, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon.
I could see the value in a Thursday nighter for the schools that are off that upcoming weekend. I think even a Thursday-Sunday turnaround would be pushing it.
They could have just 1 game Friday night and I think it would draw good ratings. I'd watch.
You sound like me. There should be a men's game every day.
Monday
7PM ESPN
Tuesday
7:00 ESPN
8:30 ACCN
Wednesday
6:30 ACCN
8:30 ACCN
Thursday

Weekend

Easy, easy, easy
Ironically we haven't had 1 ACC game on ESPN the whole season. We made ESPN2 once and a couple of times ESPNU. That's it. Are the ACC quarterfinals all on ESPN?
Right now the ACC Quarterfinals are listed as “ESPN or ESPN2”. My guess is ESPN will want to wait and see what the Big 12 quarters matchups look like before deciding.
Speak for yourself. I want to watch WOMEN.
And when the league finally sponsors Gymnastics, women will be shown on Friday also just like SECN.
You and 7 other people.
That’s ok. It’s not a sport I care to watch. I don’t wish them ill, but I’ve only so much sports watching time, I’m not getting into this sport.
I 100% agree with Bill Burr. I’ve got my sports. I don’t understand why women don’t watch women’s sports, but it’s not up to men to make them successful, and men shouldn’t feel like it’s their job to support them if they don’t want to. Here’s his take (definitely NSFW).
His EPIC RANT on the WNBA was so good that almost no one could cry about it
If you all don't want to watch women sports that's fine, just change the channel and don't watch.
My problem is with the strange need for you all to downplay or demean women sports. Something is seriously wrong with you all.
I don't care to watch golf, baseball, or wrestling but I don't go out of my way to demean the sports or comment on something that I don't care about.

It takes up too much time on ACCN when they should be showing men's games. Also, I absolutely loathe the fact they show their scores on the ESPN scroll. That confuses the shit out of me. I'd pay ESPN $500/year to opt out of the scroll. Also, on my YouTube TV guide, it just lists the logo so I'll click on a game and become instantly horrified and feeling taken advantage of when a women's game between those teams appear.
Also, a lot of people watch baseball, golf, and WWE. They are forcing something down our throats at the expense of what we want.
O
It is a honor to sound like SMF.
My wife played at Pitt and the plethora of womens hoops to the detriment of mens hoops really pisses her off
I know a former D1 women's volleyball player (not at Pitt). In conversation, I asked if she's going to be watching Pitt in the Final Four. She had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. I mean, yea, she didnt play at Pitt but if you played D1 volleyball and are living locally, wouldn't you think you'd be tuning in? Nope. Nobody watches.
Nothing wrong with women's sports, but given the choice I'll watch men's sports. Even USA Soccer, the women are multiple World Cup winners, but I'd rather watch the men. I've been to maybe 300 soccer games in my life and probably 280 of them where females, but only because my daughter used to play.
Women’s volleyball is entertaining. Women tennis is entertaining. Women’s golf is entertaining. Women’s softball is entertaining. It’s not appointment viewing however.
I have one major gripe with Woman’s college BB. I can’t count how many times I’m watching a men’s game on ESPN or other channel and seeing the scores scrolling across the bottom of the screen. I see a score where so and so is beating up on another typically good men’s team and I’m thinking Wow that’s a big surprise. Then I realize it’s woman’s game scores scrolling across the bottom. I always thought they should switch to a pink or some other color ribbon across the bottom when they switch from men’s to woman’s scores so I know from the get go not to pay any attention to those scores.
And how about this lacrosse game. Kid gets hurts and they stop all play w/ 4:50 to go, for what????
We will prob miss the beginning of the bball game so they can finish this lacrosse game.
Unbelievably dumb!!
