Sensers in Bloomington is about 5 miles from my house. I get the channel on DirecTV so I am sure they do too.

Not sure why I am so lucky to have it on two channels in EP - but I will take it! On a side note. Does anyone know if KAWE will carry all the home Bemidji games? That would be a nice Easter Egg after recently switching to DirecTV!

For anyone in the Twin Cities area with DirecTV the games will be on 17 (KTCI2) and 22 (KAWE) both nights. Go Sioux!

North Dakota already has a flag ship institution and it is located in Grand Forks. Wow - that was easy and you don't even need a vote to figure it out. With that taken care of - if you have money to burn and time to waste I have a paypal account and a bunch of stuff that needs to be done around my house!

Since I do not get FSN Rocky Mountain I did not know about this. I did see those games on FCS which picked up the FSN RM feed, but unfortunately it was only in SD. This weekend will be my first time seeing the Sioux in HD on the BTN, but lucky for me it will be from my DVR as there will be several of us heading to "The John" for the games. Sioux/Gophers week - what could be better? Go Sioux!

If you can hook a laptop or PC up to your TV I would suggest paying fightingsioux.com the $60. The quality is pretty good and as mentioned before, there are a few road games each year that are offered at no extra charge. Before last season I bought a PC just to hook up in my entertainment center. Between fightingsioux.com, other schools' webcasts, Fox College Sports, and FSN-North, I can not recall a game I wasn't able to watch. Just my two cents! 10 days until the puck drops - Go Sioux!

Did anyone happen to buy the webcast from Tech's site? I was wondering if they put the games under the "On Demand" section like UND does. I couldn't tell without signing up and I don't feel like paying the $12 or whatever to find out. Hopefully tonight we can pick up 2 more points!

I have two General Admission tickets available for sale. I am asking $50 each which is face value plus all the TM fees. PM me if you are interested. Thanks and Go Sioux!

I do believe a general admission ticket allows you to sit in any open seat in the building

My Wife and I have General Admission tickets and plan to stand in the Bar behind the club seats. I think the point of a General Admission ticket is to allow you to get in the door. As long as there is an open seat (or open space for that matter) anywhere in the Ralph, it is fair game!

Do you have Comcast? I do and I signed up for the sports package last night and whatever was on the NHL Network wasn't in HD. I would imagine the cameras at The Ralph are not HD so either way my guess is tonight's game will just be standard def.

We only made it down for the Saturday game last year but hit up Blue Bricks and Pub 500 (one before and one after) both were pretty good. Since we will be down for both games this year maybe we will stop by B-Dubs at some point. Bottom line, there isn't really a bad place to go and everything is right next to the arena. If you were to drop The Ralph in downtown Grand Forks it would be similar to how Mankato is set up. It was a ton of fun last year and I am hoping this year will be the same! Go Sioux!

Yep - number 8 is all that matters!

October 1st? I had it marked down on my calendar as October 6th. We went to Mankato last year for just the Saturday night game. It was a blast so we are going to hit up both games this year. We also made the Saturday St. Cloud game, but I found Mankato a much better time. Let's get this season started already! Go Sioux!

I am done with that poor excuse for a web cast. I pull up Dan Hammer on fightingsioux.com and the Sioux score! Go Sioux!

I also live in the Twin Cities and had relatively good luck watching my favorite team last year. I would connect my trusty laptop to my LCD TV and was able to pick up all home and most away games. Between my SlingBox, (hooked up in GF and which crapped out towards the end of the season) the Sioux-Xtra, B2TV.com, CSTV.com, and other schools' web casts most of the games can be seen without a dish. As my laptop has gained another year in age and is really getting slow, I plan to buy a new desktop PC this fall and place it in my entertainment center, directly connected to my TV. I would estimate the video quality of my laptop to be about 75% of a regular SD broadcast so I am hoping my new setup will be even better. I also agree with you on Sweeney - It would be really strange to have someone else calling the home games. I was encouraged by Comcast this past year. They actually started to pick up some of the Charter feeds, but I was a little disappointed when I asked them for a schedule of games they expected to air and they told me to contact the schools. It seemed like I would just have to tune in at 7 or 7:30 those nights to see if one would be on.

It was a heck of a ride that had to end sometime. Thanks for the great year, good luck to those who will not be back, and I look forward to those who will be back next year. You guys added another great chapter in the story that is UND Fighting Sioux Hockey!

Since there was nothing else to do tonight - I just got done with the 1987 championship game. I have said it all season, but I think it is now confirmed - TJ is the best puck handler for UND since Hrkac. Hrkac obviously played during a different era, but I think TJ is the best handler since Hrkac. Please ridicule me if you feel different. Go Sioux! Number 8 is only a few days away!

Yes it is - and did he chime in the "yes we can" message? As much as I would like to see BO in there above HC, McCain is the guy that will actually solve problems rather than ignore them. BO and HC are idealists that seem to think their "message" will solve problems. McCain is the only one with enough experience to move this country in the direction it sorely needs.

BUNK!

I agree! We were at Sensor's last night in Bloomington - there had to be 100+ Sioux fans in there. I have never heard a restaurant be so loud! Two more W's for #8! Go Sioux!

Is there a restaurant or something in the Hamms building?

OLAY! WOW!

Ya - now they are just trying to end the thing. I guess you are right!
