Every college game I've watched has gone over 15-20 minutes after the scheduled two hour allocated time. For example, Baylor-South Carolina is still in regulation and started at 3:00 PM, and are still playing at 5:18 PM.

I would get your internet ready for the start.

Marquette will be playing grambling state so the game should finish in time.

I always have ESPN3 ready to go when there is a game preceding the Vols. ESPN is the worst for games running over. Last year, I believe it was the Florida game, Minnesota and some other team were playing and it kept going into OT and I had to watch almost the entire first half on ESPN3. I was livid.

I commented on this about a month ago, someone wrote a good piece, unfortunately can't remember who. They were talking about the effects of the new rule, and they mentioned game slots need to be extended to 2 1/2 hours instead of just the 2.

This frustrates me so much, but ESPN has been doing this for a while, even with football. They schedule 3 hour slots for football, and we all know they last more than 3 hours. It's all about fitting in as many as they can.

I have Comcast and the game is on channel 711 or 1620 for HD. I have no idea if that helps anyone and siap.
