No tv in Memphis for MSU/FL on Direct. Seriously?

Rather than watching two top 20 teams play, we get to see ARK/Bama. Wtf?

It is probably because you are not located in MS and you are more regional to Bama and ARK fans. That is a shame though considering Memphis is less than 3 hours from Starkville. You can watch on ESPN3.com or you can check the sports pack channels in the 600's if you have the sports pack. Usually they show multiple SEC games on those channels.

I guess they treat me like a Memphis resident since I receive their local channels. Hard to understand their logic with this one, though. Also, I noticed that out of 7 SEC games today, ESPN is showing one nationally, five are on ESPN3, and one is not being shown. As nice as our fat contract has been for football, it has been nearly worthless for basketball. With the exception of a couple games, ESPN is showing garbage on tv all day while our game and the top ranked team in the country get shoved to the Internet.

Same in Huntsville so I guess it makes sense that we'd get the Bama/Ark game.

On Dish it's available on a pay channel; Direct 634 is probably the same.
