We live in Billings, MT and plan to make the road trip over there and meet our father-in-law who lives in Idaho. Should be a good time. Also plan to try and host a pre-game party as well over there similar to what we are trying for the Idaho game!

My family and I are planning on going to the Idaho game September 2 as my father-in-law lives in Lewiston, ID just down the road from Moscow. So I emailed the alumni association to see if there are planning a pregame party. They said they are not but I offered to host one and they were all for that. So we plan on hosting a pregame party for the Idaho game. So a couple questions for all of you: 1. Is there anyone that is going to the game that would plan on coming to the party? (Just trying to get a rough idea on how many to expect) 2. Does anyone know of any good places to host this? It looks like there is not much in Moscow but Pullman is only 10 miles away and looks like there is much more there but then driving back to the game may be an issue. Thoughts on this? Thanks everyone!

If anyone is in Billings, MT today, stop down to Bones Brewing on Broadwater Avenue at 3 PM MDT to watch the game. Will have plenty of Sioux fans there! GO SIOUX!!!

I assume this is nationwide. So folks outside of the immediate region will still be able to catch it? I have seen FSN show different stuff locally than what we get here in Montana outside the region.

Made 3 calls to ESPN and talked to 3 different people! Also had my wife call too!! Keep pestering them!

Yeah thanks brianvf. Just noticed that!

Brad's blog says people are working to get a solution locally. Locally is great for people in Grand Forks, but for everyone outside of there, it does us no good if we can't access espn360.com. Time to start calling!

I see the official pre game party Thursday before the game is at Wild Tymes in St. Paul a few hours before the game. Is the same place as in past years? Is this the place to be? This will be my first Final Five so looking for the places to be. I assume it will be pretty crowded there but just wanted to see what the best pregame places to be are. Thanks!

Thanks YaneA!! They said they are totally using that one! They appreciate it!

I know someone going to the game tonight and they are making a few posters, any good ideas of what they could put on there?? Thanks everyone!

01grad I PM'd you and never heard back from you. Do you still have any pucks for sale? I am very interested. Thanks! Also is siouxpucks.com ever going to get up and running Undertaker? Thanks everyone!

This will be my first time going to the Final Five so I dont have any access to a renewal package. So any idea when tickets for people like myself would go on sale? Thanks!

I have rooms booked at the Hilton Garden Inn downtown for now as a just in case which is about 5-6 blocks away from the Xcel Center. May check around to see what else is available. By the way, when do tickets usually go on sale for this?

I don't either but I can't get local channels here in Billings, MT. Probably one of the only markets left that can't get the locals through DirecTV

For those with Dish Network. I called and complained last night about not getting the same channel as DirecTV that shows these live, exclusive games. They said they were sorry and they offered me $10 off my bill for 12 months. That's great but does not fix the problem. So then I filled out this form: http://dishnetwork.com/customerService/con...il/default.aspx and complained there too. They responded back saying they would pass this on to the programming department. So I would encourage all Dish users on here to fill out this form and request the same channel as DirecTV has, 617. The more support we get the better chance we will have at seeing this!
