Redneksioux Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Anybody have a suggestion for watching the game in Alexandria? Stopping there Friday before I can make it to Saturdays game. Any bar that has satellite should work. Doolittles maybe? Quote
nodak651 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Any bar that has satellite should work. Doolittles maybe? That's a good place. I've been going to Fat Daddy's, which is great, but I was just wondering if I've been missing out on a more sioux friendly bar. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 According to fightingsioux.com, Saturday's game is on charter and comcast around Minneapolis.....no word of midco picking up the game. Comcast won't let Midco have the game. Quote
Godsmack Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 My St. Cloud State co-worker came up to me today at lunch and stated that UND will likely sweep them because they have two key defensemen out this weekend. Naturally, when I asked who, he refused to tell me. This is the same guy who was sandbagging a few weeks ago and told me that some of their key players had been suspended by Motzko and that he (my co-worker) was throwing in the towel on the season. On blind faith I posted what he said here and true to smart UND fans' fashion, some of you checked and could not find where there were any players out for suspension. Quote
Godsmack Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I did troll on the SCSU forum and did find that it sounds like Andrew Prochno is going to be out but he's the only one I could find. Quote
Redneksioux Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Comcast won't let Midco have the game. Any word why not? It's not like they compete. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Any word why not? It's not like they compete. We were with a group of people so I couldn't pursue things much, but it sounded like Comcast had no interest in working with Midco. I've heard in the past that Comcast was difficult to deal with.

yzerman19 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 So we can win the Penrose on Saturday night and lock up the number 1 seed, correct? A sweep in regulation would give us 15 wins and 45 points The best cloud could then finish is 14 wins and 45 points with a sweep to end the reg season The best UNO could finish is 14 wins and 45 points with 4 wins to end the reg season Am I doing this right?

siouxnatty#8 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 that stinks not on midco. now i'll only get to see 1/2 of the st. cloud late season meltdown. Quote

Yes. That is one of the ways that UND wins the league title. Quote
mhag616 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 We would lock up the number one seed and a share of the cup but to win the cup outright we would need one more point. The tie breakers are used for seeding but you can still have co-league champions from what I understand. First series I get to go to this year. Can't wait. St. Cloud is always fun. Quote
Fetch Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe comcast people went to the clown college Quote

I've heard in the past that Comcast was difficult to deal with. Interesting. Does comcast own charter? I'm guessing that either und or midco paid for the satellite uplink this past weekend or Saturdays at least. No clue why they couldn't do the same for this upcoming weekend. Was the midco feed from the St. Cloud series in grand forks earlier this season made available to charter? There's gotta be more to the reasoning midco can't pick it up. Quote
Fetch Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 How do we talk to the clowns at comcast Quote
siouxforce19 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 How do we talk to the clowns at comcast Be put on hold for a very long time... Quote

No, Comcast and Charter have actually been competing to buy Time Warner, Comcast stole it away a few weeks ago. I don't think that Charter and Comcast get along at all. I believe that Charter actually does the games for St. Cloud. Maybe Charter is the one that actually refused to let Midco have it and Comcast got blamed, or maybe I heard the name wrong. Either way, Midco wanted to do exactly the same thing as they did for Duluth last week and they were not allowed. They couldn't get rights to broadcast. Quote

Charter airs the games and owns the broadcast rights. Charter isn't in the Twin Cities, but Comcast airs the Charter feed there for SCSU home games. No idea as to why they wouldn't charge Midco and let them broadcast the game. Quote

I wonder why midco couldn't get the rights from charter if Comcast can.....especially when Comcast and charter do not get along. Maybe this has to do with a feed not being shared with charter earlier this season when St. Cloud was in grand forks? I'm not sure. All I know is someone last weekend thought it was important enough to pay for a satellite truck and they are not doing the same for Saturday night in St. Cloud. Quote
ibleedgreen Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Does SCSU have any viewing options for Saturday night's game online? Quote

Pump It Up Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 http://scsuhuskies.c...25217.aspx?id=9 $7.95/game For what it's worth SCSU recently upgraded their broadcast equipment and the quality of the feed is excellent. Great picture and I haven't experienced any buffering issues all season. Quote

All I know is someone last weekend thought it was important enough to pay for a satellite truck and they are not doing the same for Saturday night in St. Cloud. Comcast used to broadcast St. Cloud games before this year. Comcast has a contract to show multiple St. Cloud games in the Twin Cities this season. That contract was in place before the season, the conflict has happened in the past month. That is a totally different situation. Midcontinent tried to do the same thing as last week, they were not allowed. Your anger toward Midcontinent is showing. You assume that Midcontinent did something wrong. They made an effort to go above and beyond their contract to show UND sports. It didn't work out. They will continue to try to add UND away games where they can make it work. Quote
Goon Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I did troll on the SCSU forum and did find that it sounds like Andrew Prochno is going to be out but he's the only one I could find. He's out for a couple of weeks. Lower-Body injury I heard. Quote

I think most Sioux fans appreciate when they can get additional coverage that wasn't expected so last Saturday was great. Hope they can continue to go above and beyond moving forward! Quote
