Sundog Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Got a call from a friend in Florida. He's blacked out as well on FSN. I can't find the game anywhere else on DIrectTV. Quote
WiSioux Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Good to have you on board, in your accustomed spot! Assuming that we win today, I will be in the air somewhere between here and China during tomorrow's game... Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 the announcers must not have been told to avoid mention the Fighting Sioux while calling the game, although they've mentioned the 'lack of logo or nickname' due to NCAA regulations several times. Of course they know about the lack of logo and nickname, but this is an ESPN production. ESPN doesn't have to follow the NCAA rules. The NCAA can threaten to not "allow" ESPN to broadcast the championships, but I don't see that happening since the NCAA probably begs ESPN to take them, and ESPN probably takes a loss on these games.

WiSioux Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 After a few shots at the beginning, having a little trouble setting up this power play Quote

I wasn't insinuating the announcers don't know about it; just mentioning (for those not watching the game) that they keep explaining the use of "Fighting Sioux" is banned, but continue referring to them as the Sioux while calling the game...

WiSioux Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Sioux having a heck of a time on this power play.... Quote
WiSioux Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Western plays a 1-3 on the penalty kill. As soon as the puck crosses the red line, the one guy goes after it. Quote

ESPN3 shows a Sioux Jersy on it's homepage. Quote
neoflex Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Does anyone know how to get ESPN3 if your not on the provider list? Quote
wsdSIOUXfalls Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Does anyone know how to get ESPN3 if your not on the provider list? For those not able to get the game, a suggestion from the TV Schedule thread... gfbugman wrote, "Go to www.justin.tv and type in Sioux in the search bar and you find it. I am in Colorado springs and watching it on my computer right now" Quote
Sioux87 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Getting tired of nothing but Western Michigan talk on FSN. Yes, and we have to put up with Starman. I don't think he knows hockey all that well! Quote
Sioux87 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 I hope reffing stays the same alot of missed calls. Quote
UNDSIOUX Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Does anyone know how to get ESPN3 if your not on the provider list? Depending on your cable/internet provider ESPN3 might not work, I can't watch ESPN3 on cable, but I can watch the game at espn3.com and over my XBOX 360 Quote
WiSioux Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Does WMU not have a band? I have only seen ours... Quote
