Title: Vandy game to be carried by ESPNU
Post by: pmull on October 02, 2011, 06:01:43 PM
The vandy game will be televised by ESPNU. Are ESPNU games broadcast in HD? Last year the Georgia State game was on ESPNU and the coverage was awful. ESPNU basketball games are normally not HD. Who will the announcers be?

I just checked and right now ESPNU is supposed to be broadcasting Nebraska at Wisconsin in HD.  But when I turned it on it was on a volleyball game that is running over.  It looks like it is 720p though according to my TV.

I've noticed in the past one game will be HD and the next one will not.  :dunno:

Interesting.  In that case, I would guess that they can broadcast in HD but not all of their camera groups that they send on location are HD.  Since we are in the primetime slot maybe we will get the HD cameras.

I'm just glad it's an evening game.  I will miss the kickoff, but should be home for most of it.   :clap:

I am concerned the games they carry live are not HD crews. The games replayed that was originally on ESPN or ESPN2 are HD. ESPNU carried a lot of good basketball games last year. None of the  live basketball games were HD. I have not watched a football game on ESPNU this year so maybe they have upgraded to HD by now.
