One pet peeve. Since when was a radio broadcast called a “telecast”. You can’t see a radio broadcast. C’mon, man!

Now the jump.
And ESPN 3D tells us that it has selected its final two college football regular season games for the season.

ESPN 3D Finalizes College Football Schedule; Announces Addition of Fiesta Bowl
 
For the first time, fans will be able to watch the Fiesta Bowl in 3D on ESPN 3D.  The game, New Year’s Day Saturday, Jan. 1, at 8:30 p.m. from Glendale, Ariz., is the second BCS Championship Series game scheduled for ESPN 3D. The BCS National Championship game on Monday, Jan. 10, at 8:30 p.m. also from Glendale will be on ESPN 3D.
The next two regular-season college football games for ESPN 3D have also been announced, including two appearances by No. 4 Boise State: vs. Hawaii Saturday, Nov. 6, a 3:30 p.m. and at Idaho Friday, Nov. 12, at 9 p.m.  This will mark the second and third time Boise State has appeared on the network having played the first game this year on Sept. 6. 
In addition to the games announced today, ESPN 3D will televise the ACC championship game on Saturday, Dec. 4.  Sony is the official sponsor of college football on ESPN 3D, and college football games televised on ESPN 3D will utilize Sony professional cameras.

More stuff coming up. I have lots more.
