Is there a reason I can't watch videos off undsports.com with an iPhone?

Ouch burn!

Careful. I think midco wants money from every viewer this year;)

And this makes cheap shot spears ok? Classic acts of a former gopher here!

Very true. The little man syndrom gets old!

I saw it. Was some trash talk.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/273965/group/homepage/ The Rea isn't on campus is it? They could put the smoking section 40 ft away from the entrance and problem solved. If they are worried about what is best for the kids why not put an axe to alcohol sales? Guessing the mighty $ will make the decision here though.

How about that new no smoking policy. Miss the days of doors opening up to public in 2nd period.

Gulseth? Playing time, a chance to be a star at the level he played, a chance to play in front of a home town crowd since he was from Edinburgh?

Problem is, there are people that have lost their options for viewing und sports. You shouldn't expect them to be happy about it. I'm not complaining about it in this post. Just stating the obvious. Don't be upset that the complaining will continue because the season hasn't even started yet.

I didn't see him or anyone else in this thread complaining about anything.

So you are saying there are multiple student athletes on und's football team that don't care? This sounds like a leadership problem.

I miss the days you could get a room at place Louis reile from Knox marketplace for cheap. Awesome hotel!

I obviously don't speak for all fta'ers....but I think I can speak for most. Most of us were very happy that und sports were available via Fta satellite. Every fta'er realizes that feeds come and go and most don't expect feeds. They are always a pleasant surprise. I for one will miss und being Fta. But will definitely appreciate every game that may happen to be up there in the clear.

Saw the game on Fta tonight too!

Maybe! But not this Sioux fan;)

And I apologize but I wasn't meaning to do any name calling. I just presumed that since the statement of "Fta being as dead as the dinosaur" was said here by you, that thia theory may have been considered when the decision to no longer offer Fta this season was made.

Well where I live I cannot get high speed Internet so it's not an option for me. And my grandparents in hazen nd won't be changing their cable package or figuring out how to watch online. They'd like to keep watching und but they will be ok without.

I've scanned the arc the past 2 Saturdays and found maybe 20 games each day on ku band in hd....so there's plenty of hd Fta wild feeds out there for sports. Far from being dead like the dinosaur like jayson's source. I'm sure midco would like to believe Fta is as dead as the dinosaur though. Or at least have sold the fact it is dead to media people at und.

I can understand the financial implications as reasoning changes were made. Basically all games should still be available to everyone in some form or fashion still. Just in order to view them more hoops will need to be jumped through and in many cases more money spent by the viewer. Cable one customers will need to watch online. Customers of affiliate cable companies in the region will need to upgrade and spend more in many cases. Past fta'ers will need to watch online. Fans nationwide will need to watch online as well as of right now. There will be many that will subscribe and watch online but I will tell you that many also will not.

I don't think they are insisting exposure isn't as important. I think the exposure issue has been underestimated by some though.

Thanks for the update Jason. It's nice that you are able to come on here and give us demanding fans updates. But you are very wrong on Fta being gone by the way of the dinosaur. On any given Saturday you can scan with a motorized Fta dish and find almost any college football feed out there. Most still use satellite trucks and midco is one of the few companies who has stopped this for und sports. Most fta'ers know that feeds can come and go so it doesn't shock us and the und feeds were never expected to continue. But to say that Fta is basically dead nationwide is dead wrong. I can get more college football games with my Fta system than I ever could with midco cable virtually every weekend.

Very unfortunate they won't have service for the du series

I thought they usually show up right after the phone book guy makes his drop.

Well we've been told it was in und's best interest to go with midco for more exposure of all sports. But the midco deal this year is leaving many in the dark who have had access to und sports in past years.
