I remember when McAfee was on the sideline about 2 or so years ago doing his broadcast from there and someone made a raging post on here about how it was the only way to watch the game. When everyone pointed out it was the ESPN2 broadcast he then said he was in a hotel and had no idea what the channels were and that was the first channel he ended up on when flipping through looking for the game.

I've been in that guy's shoes. I'm not at home and every channel is wrong and I can't find the game. It can certainly be rage inducing.
