Skins-Cowboys game: voice your displeasure

wilsowilso · 09-06-2005, 10:52 AM

OK I wrote everyone and I will keep at it, but it seems like such and easy solution so the fact that they haven't already done it means the NFL isn't looking out for us. They have the power here.

Does anyone know if sports bars will be able to carry both games?

Does DirecTV allow them to pick up the game from another channel?

I'm really going to be bummin' if I can't at least go out to catch the first half.

I was tossing and turning all night last night thinking about this, no joke!

I have direct TV back at home (i'm at college, bout 30 mintues away), if I cant get it on that, somthing is seriously wrong. Why would someone pay all that money for the damn thing, if they cant even watch their favorite team? WTF.

I just read that MNF games aren't on DirecTV, in that case I guess you would need a satellite. Ugh I hope I can find a place that will have the game. This is ridiculous.

I guess that it's gotta be a satellite bar. WTF!!! Wonder what they're going to do in Houston and San Antonio? Aren't those Saints regions? Bet there's a few angry cowroid fans there.

illdefined · 09-06-2005, 03:12 PM

so its official? ESPN is going this route too?

MTK · 09-06-2005, 03:18 PM

Somebody on extremeskins said they called DirecTV and they said under these special circumstances both games will be available, so sports bars and people with DirecTV should be ok.

That Guy · 09-06-2005, 03:34 PM

killer... not optimal, but at least there's recourse.

JWsleep · 09-06-2005, 06:01 PM

I sure hope that's correct... I can't miss this game.

Living in San Antonio (and being a skins fan) I can say that San Antonio is practically Cowboy country. Houston would of course be Texans country. But because the Saints have begun praciticing in San Antonio and may even play their games there, it may draw some San Antonio fans.

I can assure you that with the influx of Louisianans displaced there, San Antonio will show the Saints game. It's a PR thing.
