Miami Redskins are BACK!! Glad to see we are back!!! I'm happy about the new conference and new rivalry. I was worried after last night but we came back and responded! Much respect to the Sioux! Good luck Sioux! Hope you guys respect the Redskins too.

VS LETS DO THIS !!!!

Just checked: Miami, North Dakota, Western Michigan, Nebraska-Omaha, and Denver are all Neulion so any subscribers to their schools all-access Neulion package will get free reciprocate webcast from the other schools? Last year in CCHA play Miami subscribers got to see Miami at Western Michigan for free. UNO, UM-D, and CC need to get with it.

fyi, Western Michigan also has Neulion so you will get that too.

Everybody more interested in bashing the football team right now. Football coach fired a week ago after 0-5 start and everybody putting their 2 cents in on who the next coach should be.

Most of last year's team is back and we've scored 20 goals in 3 games to start this season.

http://www.miamihawk...pic.php?t=58654 ^^ Miami fan board... also this link is for highlights vs Ohio State and also shows what our webcast will look like. Its not free, you will have to pay $8 or something like that. The highlights are shown in SD, but there will be a clearer "HD" feed for the live webcast Saturday. They show SD or HD feed for those with slower internet connections. Check later in the week for link to the game Saturday, it will be there.

Notre Dame would have joined the NCHC had we allowed them to get away with what Hockey East let them get away with. Have you seen the Hockey East TV schedule that was just released? 5 Hockey East games + 12 Notre Dame games. That their TV deal! Notre Dame is on NBCSN 12 times and nobody else in the conference is on TV more than like twice. Thats what they wanted to do with the NCHC and we said no. So instead we have the CBSSN deal that allows everybody a more fair showing. DATE GAME TIME Friday, October 25 Massachusetts – Maine 8 p.m. Friday, November 1 Northeastern – Boston College 8 p.m. Friday, November 8 Minnesota – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 15 Merrimack – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 22 North Dakota – Boston University 7:30 p.m. Friday, December 6 Massachusetts – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Saturday, December 7 Massachusetts – Notre Dame 6:30 p.m. Friday, January 10 Alabama Huntsville – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Friday, January 17 Lake Superior State – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Friday, January 24 Northeastern – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Friday, January 25 Northeastern – Notre Dame 7:00 p.m. Friday, January 31 Boston University – Massachusetts 7:30 p.m. Friday, February 7 Maine – Notre Dame 7:30 p.m. Saturday, February 8 Maine – Notre Dame 8 p.m. Friday, February 14 Boston University – New Hampshire 7 p.m. Friday, February 21 Boston University – Notre Dame 7 p.m. I doubt anybody would have been happy seeing ND have 12 TV appearances and UND get 2 or 3 every year. Notre Dame controls the TV deal with NBC and allows Hockey East to have a few token games thrown in too. http://nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com/2013/10/11/nbcsn-and-notre-dame-announce-three-year-agreement-to-televise-notre-dame-hockey-home-games/

Miami's webcast will be available in HD on Saturday. Its a good quality webcast.

The most realistic scenario for UND is to replace Midco with Fox Sports Regional for all UND home games plus CBSSN national games. In addition with the launch of Fox Sports1' Fox has said they will introduce a competitor to ESPN3/WatchESPN called Fox Sports Go that will simulcast nationally like ESPN3 "all 22" Fox Sports Regional Networks of which could include UND's regional coverage. Fox Sports North may have programming windows open with the Big Ten Network taking more Minnesota games. Fox Regional exposure and quality would be better then Midco and would offer the national simulcast stream on Fox Go. Hopefully the NCHC will launch a Digital Network similar to the MAC Digital Network which has done a decent job providing HD streams over the computer, iPhone, iPad, and Android devices for all games not on national TV. http://www.macsportsondemand.com/#!/view/video/1ef3eceb-9284-432b-a86f-8ad1db09566c/MAC-Weekly-June-13,-2013 There were rumors of a Roku type channel as well. Maybe the NCHC could leverage Miami and Western Michigan to share distribution through the already existing MAC system similar to BTN2Go.
