I don't much care either. It used to be kinda fun when UC fans would get riled up but basically they couldn't care less now. I always wear my Xavier jacket and during this week and I would get many comments for fans (both X and UC) about the upcoming game. Last year and now this year I've heard nothing, nada, absolute squat. I really think the average person around the city could not care less. Its just another game on the schedule. If we win on Saturday I will be thrilled and move on and forget about it. If we lose, I will be disappointed and move on and forget about it.

Read an article today that said one of the things being discussed is the time of the game. Looks like it could be moving back to late January.

I also just realized this game is on Fox Sports 1. I honestly have no clue what that channel is and where is it located.

I can see that. As X fans we know exactly where it is because it carries all the Big East games so I could understand that you don't have a lot of reason to watch it (that's not a dig, I promise). Plus it just launched a few months ago. Overall the programming is OK. Their Fox Sports Live show (Think Sportscenter) is a nice alternative to ESPN.

I think it is a standard channel added to most cable/satellite systems this past fall. I imagine you have this on your system somewhere, but it is understandable why you haven't needed to find it before now.

What?!? I thought the entire nation was on the edge of their collective seats watching Xavier/Abilene Christian!

As much as I'd love to say that Fox Sports Live is a nice alternative to Sportscenter, I just can't. I don't know about you, but outside of the highlights, the panel discussions (which they do WAAY too much of) anchored by Andy Roddick and McNabb put me to sleep.

Fox Sports Live is an alternative to Sportscenter, sure. Just not a very good one in my opinion. But hey, as long as every X game is on T.V. then I'm a happy camper!
