2010 Classic

I thought ESPN did a very good job with The Classic this year. On espn.com they had up to the minute blog info that kept you in the loop. I really enjoyed keeping up with the leader board this way. As for TV coverage, I give them an B+. It could have been better but all in all I thought it was solid.

I have no interest in watching a fishing tournament live. That would be boring. I don't want to watch one of those guys haul water for 30 casts before hooking up. Are you serious?

I have to say the internet coverage was good. I liked the blog as well and the basscam, and basstrek. Sure a live tv airing of the whole day could be boring but they do air plenty of other boring shows. If I had my choice between watching soccer, gymnastics, some NBA or MLB games etc.. or possibly watching the final half day of the Bassmaster classic live then I would pick the latter.
I must admit that I probably wouldn't even care about watching it on tv if I wasn't just watching the snow and ice melt. If it was better weather I'd be fishing myself...

I think the coverage is good. They show all the significant fish catches, and they are able to cut and edit everything into an hour broadcast. I seriously doubt anyone would seriously watch an 8 hour broadcast of each day on the water.......That's 24 hours of coverage......jmo

I agree 24 hours is nuts and nobody is gonna do that unless the alternative is getting their teeth pulled.
