For those of us stuck home...do we have any hope on Comcast picking this thing up? I understand I already know this answer but was hoping for divine intervention.

Why o why does not ESPNU matriculate to Comcast?
Any suggestions?

Sounds like it's time to switch to DirecTV or make an appearance at your local watering hole.

I'm sure that when this game was booked for TV, no one in their wildest imagination would think that this game would be so popular and a quick sellout. I would think that a local TV station (26? 50?) would try to get some kind of deal to carry the ESPNU brodacast. Since ABC7 carries some of the ESPN games involving local teams, I would think that they may have some interest. The broadcast would be well-viewed, with lots of attendant advertising revenues.
