If anyone across the country can access it, I'd call it national.

Televised/streamed online = Semantics.

That would be 95% of all games ever played. JustinTV and other stream sites find ways to get around non-televised events. National to me means ESPN or ESPN2.

How can national mean anything other than the definition?
I for one have, perhaps 20% of the time, watch an espn3 games over some of the crap the networks put on "national tv." Could it be that the definition of National TV is when someone is too lazy or unknowledgeable to stream a better game from a computer to their TV. National TV is not always about possibilities of a good game but of who they have contracts with, sports politics, and what is a really "good" story line. The same is true of basketball.

The point is we like to brag about our games being on "National TV" when they're on ESPN3 or streamed as if it means the same thing as it did 5 years ago. When you were on National TV back then it means something because you were on one of the two channels that everyone watched. McNeese vs Yorkstown on National TV!!! ESPN3 LOVES US!!! PACK THE HOUSE!!! It is national tv, you're right. But understand the value of that phrase has dropped significantly ever since ESPN3 and stream sites became readily available.

Unfortunately, I can watch very little, not because I'm lazy, but because I'm fresh out of college with no job. I have no cable TV, and my internet provider is not compatible with ESPN3. I could find a streaming site for ESPN or ESPN2, or for whatever game I'm trying to watch, but it'd probably be terrible quality.

Lots of job opportunities in Lafayette, and the area is tough to beat. We welcome imports. :-)

Welcome to my world with the job situation. I got stuck in a career field where everyone has a masters and I dont. Cost me a few jobs this summer, and then the place I worked for had to cut 50 percent of its staff to boot. Now im stuck with having to go back for a masters degree somewhere if I have any intention of ever staying in this field.

Ive been out of college 4 years, and the job market still sucks. Thanks to some bonuses Im still able to afford the basics, but it is no fun.
