The picture quality of midco sports net is extremely poor as compared to what WDAZ was giving us on FSSN. Are they using really old, poor, video equipment?

They haven't updated to full HD cameras yet. I believe thats a year or two down the the road, The production is still developing, the UND game production is good, but pregame, and even todays South Dakota State game is still lacking.

Are you talking about just UND games or for all Midco Sports broadcasts?  I thought that they were going to use the same equipment for UND games.  Maybe they are using a different distribution system and losing some signal.  I know that they are working on HD for next year for UND sports.  And I know that they were setting up a studio in Grand Forks, but I don't know what kind of equipment they were going to be working with.

UND's Broadcast the last two weeks were 10x better then Sodak State today. It could be because it was SoDak State making it look so terrible though.

The VB game last Thursday was just not sharp like past FSSN broadcasts. And today's SDSU game was very poor.

Does anybody have any info on why none of the men's hockey home games aren't listed in the FCS schedule for October?  I was planning on DVR'ing the exhibition game next Saturday and couldn't find the game on my guide.  So, I went to the FCS website to investigate and couldn't find a single home game listed on any of their channels (Atlantic, Central, or Pacific).  Gophers hockey is listed, and UND Sports Extra is as well...but no actual UND games.  It sounded like everything was set with FCS broadcasting games again this year, but I'm very confused as to why they wouldn't list the games on their schedule...

All home men's hockey games will indeed be broadcast on Fox College Sports this year.

Thanks, Jayson - I know you've been answering a lot of these questions in the past few months.  I just needed to double check since I couldn't find the games listed anywhere.  Thanks again, and we do appreciate all your hard work!

What about road games?  Any info on that if you could please.  Thank you.
