I have searched and searched but cannot find a web feed or any news on the Jamaica Classic in terms of video or TV? Does anyone know if these games will be televised? I think it is kind of crappy if they can't just get a webcast but I don't see one on their website. I was impressed the last time we went away to a classic and games were on YouTube.

Last years games were on CBS Sports Network. Took a quick glance at their web site and it shows the games. Not sure why they haven't listed it on the official web page.

Eagle66 beat me to it.

Ohio's schedule on ESPN says CBS Sports Network, and the Jamaica Classic website says CBS Sports. I think we're good.

Not that I'm going, but I have not seen one thing on Ohio website about special trip packages to Jamaica. Anyone going? Is it more expensive or cheaper than you thought? The lack of quality opponents in Jamaica is a buzz-kill....needed to play Georgetown.

So I take it that our game tonight with Campbell is part of this "classic?" Whatever happened to the old fashioned tournaments where you played in a bracket and advanced if you won and advanced in another bracket if you lost?

Great question and totally agree. Everyone now gets a #ParticipationTrophy I guess.

Yeah but GoCats...the font on that is embarrassing. It is clearly all Saul Phillips fault. John Groce would've killed it with this promotion. I'm so ashamed to be a Bobcat. /Sarcasm /FearLeon

I'm beginning to think we are cursed. Mid-November and a possible hurricane in the Caribbean.

Naming a hurricane Patty seems like an SNL skit.

I’ll be there tomorrow. I’m staying in an Airbnb rather than at a resort, which makes it a lot cheaper. Did the same thing for the Bahamas Bowl and it significantly exceeded my expectations. Jamaica isn’t as well developed so experience could be quite different this time, but the upside to that is it’s even cheaper than the bowl was last year.

I chose to stay further down the coast so I’ll likely pass the game Sunday. Had we been playing Georgetown I would’ve stayed somewhere closer for easier access.
