Sock puppets?

Maybe he's taking a vacation.

No way...Giants have looked every bit as good as KC. Hopefully we get a hard fought, seven-game serIes. If I had to pick one team to win in 4, it would be the Giants.

Why would you mention this?

Maybe Mido should figure out a way to get the non-CBS games on a pay-per-view platform via Dish/DirecTv/Comcast so the games could be viewed outside their normal broadcast area. Time to put on the big boy pants and start thinking big picture! . How many season subscriptions would they need to make it worth their while? I have to think people would be more interested in this than paying for a webcast package that's been iffy at best.

What is the Root Sports agreement? Is that just for football?

The GOBC has some nice seats right next to the shitter.

NHL is doing away with the shootout...the new method of determining the winner after OT will be the team that can make the most tape to tape passes in 30 seconds.

THIS^^^

Fighting Sioux Sports Network was not only picked up by Fox College Sports, but it was available FTA (free to air) as well.

THIS^^. Why would Midco pay UND for the games, then turn around and let their competitors show the same games for free on another channel? Too bad that they won't allow the games to be shown on FCS outside their coverage area, there's a LOT of Sioux fans that don't live in the Grand Forks/Fargo area.

Probably true, but once again Sioux fans outside the Midco footprint get the short end of the stick.

Agreed.

Per today's Online Chat, Schlossman stated that Midco is responsible for the holdup in broadcasting the men's games on Fox College Sports. He said this was due in part to the fact that people in Fargo who have CableOne, a competitor of Midco's, could watch the games on FCS. (thereby, not needing to switch cable providers in order to see the Sioux games) It's great for UND that they have a regional deal with Midco, but for those many fans outside the Midco footprint, it's just more home games not available via TV.

Thank God!

I like it...Shrew me? Shrew you!

No updates for the deal with FCS yet. Starting to wonder if this will really happen; what's the holdup? Hopefully we will get an update from tomorrows online chat.

Any updates on this nickname process?

you are correct sir

No spelling errors...gfhockey spell-checked it for them.

It was just an observation regarding that particular game and team. In no way am I comparing them to the current team...that 86-87 team was a lot of fun to watch; full throttle all the time. We didn't know how good we had it!

Someone might club your 'natty'...

Well, he's out there tonight!

What the hell are you talking about? I was simply talking about the game that MafiaMan had mentioned because I happened to be in the arena that night.

A hard working goal...never gave up on it...that's the kind of effort we need.
