All live 2008 NCAA Football games on ABC / ESPN networks to air in HD

by Darren Murph posted Jun 10th 2008 at 5:51PM

Not that we're trying to rush the summer away or anything, but August can't get here soon enough. Shortly after hearing that CBS would be producing every single NFL game in high-definition, in flies word that all live 2008 NCAA College Football games shown on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN U will also be available in glorious HD. Granted, there's a shot you won't even have those four networks in HD before the season begins, but at least your local watering hole will. For a look at the current schedule (which is far from complete), check out the goods in the read link. Rest assured, we'll be geared up for the network opener (August 28, 8:00PM on ESPN HD) as NC State shows South Carolina how it's done down at Williams-Brice Stadium.

LOL. I saw the picture of NC State and thought ESPN was going to be broadcasting high school games in HD.

So is the Pack going to have high hopes and watched them be crushed again, this time in beautiful HD? We can only hope :)

Looks like ABC et al were lying through their collective teeth. This weekend's Oklahoma vs Cincinnati game is going to be in plain ol "standard def" NO HD anywhere on any network. Here's a game between the #4 team in the nation and a ten-win squad from last year in a pretty decent intersectional game, and it doesn't get HD??? How utterly asinine.
