Hokie ClubA lot of fans have emailed in asking what exactly is a “reverse mirror game†like the ESPN.com Web site is listing the Tech-FSU and Illinois-Ohio State games as.
According to an ACC rep, “A reverse mirror is a term applied to an ABC regional telecast that is also televised on ESPN2. This is something the networks have started doing this year as they have regionalized ESPN2 coverage at different times. An ACC game would be shown in the ACC Region on ABC, but then would also be shown in the Big Ten region on ESPN2, Conversely, the Big Ten game is shown in the Big Ten region on ABC and in the ACC region on ESPN2.â€
This works with other conferences as well, but these two are used as the example.
