WYOBISONMAN Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 For a real football game (BISON/GRIZ)........ here are the satellite coordinates: KU Band, AMC-9, Transponder 12, 85 degrees west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I wish WDAZ/WDAY was showing the game. It would be a good game to watch. Top it off with getting to see the Bison lose and it would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top it off with getting to see the Bison lose and it would be great! According to Pat Sweeney on the sports last night, WDAY/WDAZ are televising it.

WYOBISONMAN Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 .....and even I...a loyal Bison fan do believe we will get beat. I do think we will keep it a lot closer than the Griz fans seem to, but we will find out tomorrow. That's the nice thing about game day.....all speculation ends.

The Sicatoka Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Sioux fans not at the Sioux football game, and who don't have other commitments, promise to watch that .... only if you promise to watch every Sioux game on the Fighting Sioux Sports Network this season. If you don't get that on cable or satellite where you're at, suck it up and buy the broadband webcast. You promised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonguy Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Sicatoka, I've thought about getting the webcast package, but my experiences with live streaming video tells me that it isn't all it's cracked up to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 The first game is free at live video broadcasts, so you can see how well it works on your system. The demos are actually decent on my PC. The nice thing is they stream at a moderate rate (222k) whereas a lot of video sites on the web try to support modems by streaming at much lower rates. Of course, if you're trying on a modem, results will never be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYOBISONMAN Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 That sounds interesting. I am going to log on and watch it until I leave for the Bar to watch the Bison. I have never seen a video stream that was any good (I am running on a cable modem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 One interesting point that came up when I was chatting with bisonguy about it is that this free trial will also undoubtedly be the highest load their broadcast system ever sees. If it's ever going to fail, it will be during the trial (of which they've hopefully considered the impact). The demos were a good indication of the intended resolution/encoding quality, but didn't show us anything about the system capacity. I'm almost more interested in seeing how well this video thing really works than the game itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn-O Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Holy s#@t!! Bison win with a furious second-half comeback. Montana's kicker (who will set the all-time Griz scoring record this season) misses a 40 yarder as time expires. Bison win, 25-24. The Montana announcers said the NDSU offensive line dominated in the second half. Disclaimer: I'm a UND grad and love bashing the Bison as much as the rest of us, but give credit where credit is due. This is a hell of a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 For those who discriminate by thread title, there was a lot of NDSU discussion in the Crookston webcast thread. Congrats to NDSU, this is great for the NCC and D-II. UNC's game last year and this win for NDSU definitely showed how much overlap there is between the top of D-II and D-IAA. Montana didn't look any better than many NCC teams (I only saw the 2nd half, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OETKB Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 An inspired second half to be sure, but it looked less like NDSU played greatly than Montana forgot where they left their butts during halftime. I was not overly impressed with NDSU. They looked like a typical NCC upper-division team. Montana, on the other hand, looked little better than Crookston in the second half.

This is a hell of a win. Ditto -- congrats on the amazing win -- it helps give credibility to the NCC and Div. II (an on the road win, no less, against a "powerhouse") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Play Montana next year instead of Crookston so we can see just how bad Montana is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Play Montana next year instead of Crookston so we can see just how bad Montana is... Sounds good to me. The elite of the NCC have certainly kept up with Montana alright the past two seasons. Unfortunately, as discussed in the NDSU-UND rivalry thread, UND administrators have made it pretty clear they're not very interested in playing D-IAA teams while in D-II (and I suspect Montana will avoid scheduling D-II teams for a while ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Play Montana next year instead of Crookston so we can see just how bad Montana is... We can only hope that's the case -- the 3 year contract with Crookston expires this year -- I haven't heard who the replacement(s) will be ....

UND92,96 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Play Montana next year instead of Crookston so we can see just how bad Montana is... I very much doubt Montana will want to play another dII team, unless maybe it is Crookston. While I'm sure you're understandably sensitive to any attempt to minimize NDSU's win today, were you honestly impressed with Montana? Again, I only saw the second half, but Montana could do nothing right as far as I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamStrait Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Play Montana next year instead of Crookston so we can see just how bad Montana is... OK tony, time to grow up. Nothing but congratulations to a team most people here love to hate and you respond with this tripe. Get the chip off your shoulder or take it elsewhere.

WYOBISONMAN Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 Two things....The quality of the Webcast of the Crookston game was much better than I expected. Not like watching TV, but for people that don't have access to anything else it is great. And second.......... HOW ABOUT THOSE BISON. Look out D2. We are in the hunt for the title!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Montana is a great program and it is humbling to have a win over them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Helluva job by the Bison, they deserved to *shudder* win. They played *shudder* great. Will someone please kill me now? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
