Maybe he is my great-great grandfather.

Are they already offering him boxes of pampers to sign? They'll probably throw in some formula and baby wipes to boot. Damn butt wipers those Canucks are.

I am a stray with no known family connections.

The remainder of his contract (4 years) minus bonuses. Better words alot of money. Like close to a million or so. There has to be a clause though where they could fire him for less money. If not he had a real good attorney.

I really doubt that it was that much per team. Not like there is a huge market for them. But for teams that were not getting any tv money is was nice.

If not for CBCCS would we even get to have watched these games?

Might be a long season. It could just as likely be a great season. Way to early to tell. I'm more concerned over the goaltending than anything.

Lucky you.

Ah the joys of flying standby.

Bucks basketball takes priority.

Short drive this time for you. How is the dog doing in it's new home?

Thank you for that. I understand what you are saying.

Never figured that FCS could sell ad space fo UND games. Also never thought that UND made them any money. But then nothing that FCS shows makes them any money. I am sure all those high school sports, women's soccer, women's lacrosse games make them no money either. But what are their actual production costs to broadcast other stations feeds? Did they have to pay Midco for them? I have always been curious as to how many people really subscribe to the sport channels. Do you have a good educated guess? By the way I was not questioning your knowledge, because you do really seem to know what you are talking about, I was actually curious as to where you got the numbers.

So what is there to stop cable companies to put them on the sport tiers, as is my point. Nothing. Since both Dish and Direct carry ROOTS, albiet, they "technically" are a regional network satlite pick them up so then cable can also.

Somewhat curious as to how you know what FCS numbers are.

Who says that cable companies can not pick up ROOTS all over the country? They have three divisions but still are a single network.

Bring along a translation dictionary so you will know what they are saying.

What I am getting at though is where is the exclusivity then? FCS is a regional network feed and they can not carry UND game feeds from MIDCO. MIDCO may not have its own but why can they not lump with FSCAT, FSCP, FSCC then? I do think a good lawyer good find the flaw in the contract. CBS may have good lawyers but as all think they are the smartest in the room there is always someone smarter. All you need is one word.

If Scott had not gone to Duluth who do you think would be the coach today?

OK. I look forward to the clips you post and appreciate you doing it.

Why does Denver get tp have their games boradcast on Dish through ROOTS and UND does not get to have their MIDCO games broadcasted the same way?

I thought that was your job?

Which ended up as a mistake using mksioux's scenario.

Looking like one real long season.

Has anyone ever been to Torrey Pines in Las Vegas to watch a game on TV? I am going to be there over Thanksgiving and planned on going there to watch. If no one has I will post a report afterwards.
