Last Loss on ESPN Network?

[CDAGRIZ]

Does anyone know the last time the Griz lost on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU? Not ESPN+ or ESPN3. Real TV.
I think our record has to be pretty solid, but I can't remember if the 2015 playoff loss to the T-Buffs was on TV or streaming.

I think our record has to be pretty solid, but I can't remember if the 2015 playoff loss to the T-Buffs was on TV or streaming.

That playoff game against NDSU in 2015 was on ESPN3, according to gogriz.com:

WATCH: Griz fans nationwide can tune in to watch the Griz take on the Bison from Fargo on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN mobile App. The game can also be seen on DiretcTV's ESPN College Extra. Trey Bender will do the play-by-play, with Jay Taylor serving as color analyst.

So I would guess that our last prime time loss was in 2011 in the semis @ Sam Houston State.

2015 loss was streaming, methinks.

I'm going to guess 2011 loss to Sam Houston State in the semifinals.

However, that loss was vacated thus it never occurred and that leaves us with 2009 Championship as the last loss.

Checkmate?

I think that's the credited response. It's been a freaking decade since we lost on an ESPN telecast.

2015 opener against the T-Buffs? The first CFB game of the year. UNDSU hates it, but the country watched it on the main stage rather than a streaming service.

Here's one: When was the last time we played a BSC foe on the road in the playoffs?

Basic point is absolutely valid, because the "main stage" is clearly one of the ESPN prime channels.

However, "ESPN College Extra" is broadcast nationwide on cable and satellite channels, so it is more than just a streaming service. That means the Griz stomping of the SLU Lions was technically (there's that word again ) the last Griz win shown on national TV.

Eastern, 2014?

That makes sense. However, my litmus test is whether I can answer with a number when my regular cable father asks, "What channel is it on?"

Well, ya got me there. :lol: :lol:

In reality, only the "dedicated" sports fan has the motivation to even find things like college Extra and the other dedicated sports channels.
