I don't understand. Why in the world would ESPN3 block out a game that was available on ESPN-U? My Tennessee Vols are playing on ESPN-U. And since I have Dish, it's only available in crappy SD since their too cheap to offer it in HD. So I was going to watch it on the Apple TV using my iPad and the "Watch ESPN" app (I've done it several times before). But noooooo, I get the "this game is blacked out in your area, you can watch on ESPN-U" message. WTH, are they not the same network? I could understand if a different network had the rights to the game. But isn't that the whole point of the "watch ESPN" app? To watch games televised by ESPN if your away from a TV or on the road? I mean technically, if I was sitting in front of a TV with ESPN-U, why would I need their stupid app?

Okay, I feel better now. :)
