The antenna isn't necessarily different - it's the TUNER in the TV that allows you to pick up the digital Over The Air stations. If your TV is equipped with a digital tuner (or a converter box) you'll be able to pick up digital signals with your antenna/rabbit ears. Sounds like you were able to scan it into your bedroom TV ok. Comparing channel numbers to your cable box is useless because cable & satellite systems will assign different channel numbers for their feeds, so they won't necessarily correlate to what the OTA signal says it is...FSN is 668 on DirecTV and 436 on Dish, etc.

I had to add the sports pack to get FCS on DirecTV.

That's just it...I don't think they'll have anyone on D sit on a "regular" basis. They have the makings of a very nice rotation, and should be covered nicely in the event of any lengthy injuries. Also, nobody should have to battle through the nagging stuff. This should lead to a nice healthy D-corps for the playoff push.

This sounds like a great deal for the six non-hockey Big Ten schools that will get their cut of the additional BTN revenue without putting anything into it! I wonder if this has the potential to create some tension between the hockey and non-hockey schools.

Maybe the coaching staff?

If I understand this correctly, unless they decide to activate Webb as something other than the #3 QB this season, he won't get in a game unless Favre & T-Jack go down with an injury. Once the player occupying the roster spot designated as the #3 QB enters the game, the #1 and #2 QBs cannot return. In order to get Webb the ball they would have to deactivate someone at another position (i.e. WR, special teams) and activate him in that spot.

I wonder if the Big Ten would have their conference tourney in Chicago, therefore leaving St. Paul open for the WCHA.

Did he say what colors the people going to detox are usually wearing? For all the beatings the Sioux have laid on the Mavs down there I would guess many of the Mavs fans are relegated to drinking themselves into stupors when the Sioux come to town!

You don't have to click on this thread if you don' t want to. There's nothing wrong with fellow Sioux fans discussing a little football. This is the proper venue. Are we supposed to start "www.siouxfanswholikethevikes.com" in order to avoid piquing your curiosity? Go Vikes!

It was announced that the Wild would be playing an afternoon game the day of the Final Five championship. I'm pretty sure it's the 17th - 19th of March.

I don't think we'll know where to point until they announce what satellite they'll be on. Last year it was 91W, but I don't think they're guaranteed to be there this year.

Bucky - How can you say this: and then follow it up with this: Your first statement implied he'd be automatically interested if "The U" came calling.

I don't think we can quite say this: without considering the possibility of this:

For as young as this team was, it probably should have ended up like '01-'02. I give credit to the staff for keeping this team together through adversity and for building throughout the season.

Just keep Gorg as far away from the booth as possible.

Didn't Blood get a boarding penalty on Saturday that may have looked like a CFB? I don't recall if the SCSU player turned into the boards just prior to the hit, thus the boarding call; but from where I was sitting I seem to remember anticipating a CFB at the time.

Sunday's game will be on ESPNU HD, but not necessarily broadcast in HD. There was a post a few pages back that referenced the northeast regional not being broadcast in HD (RedFrog, Pg. 3).

We're gonna need the intermission to reset things. We've been on Special Teams a little too long this period!

YES!!

Another Kangas head shot. This time a nice neck twist.

We're getting too cute on our 2-on-1's.

Yes. I thought Kangas should have been penalized for going to Frattin's head with the stick/blocker immediately after the hit.

Now we'll see if Frattin is a marked man. Could be some frustrated gophers...

GREAT KILL!!! MOMENTUM?

Kangas went to Frattin's head right after the hit.
