Gophers vs. Sioux in NYC?

Does anyone know where I can watch the Gophers vs. Sioux in the New York City area? I think there was an alumni event a couple of years ago in New Jersey, but I haven't heard or read anything since. Any help with Bars/Restaurants that may have Fox Sports North, etc... would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Mike

Any bar with DirecTV or DishNetwork that has the sports package will have the game.

Hello hooper,

I live in New Jersey and just started following the Sioux last month. There is a very nice sports bar/restaurant called Damons in Rockaway, Morris County. Just take I-80 west to the Rockaway/Hibernia exit. Their phone number is 973-664-1000. A couple weeks ago I went there during the baseball playoffs and I was the only person there not watching baseball. The manager,possibly david or dane not sure about the name, put a tv on college sports television network for the Sioux game against maine(direct tv number 610) for me.Very nice about it. They have 4 big screens and about 16 regular screens. I did not know that the games against Minnesota were on fox sports north(direct tv number 641). If you give them a call, they should be able to tell you if they get that channel, but I would think if they can get cstv,then they probably can get fox sports north.---Are you sure this is on fox sports north because I did not see anything about it on this site or on fightingsioux.com? Hope I have helped some.

I just checked directv.com and they say that fox sports north will have the games. Still haven't seen this info. on the university's fightingsioux.com site---maybe I am just missing it.

It honestly never occurred to me to list national broadcasts of games as news, but I guess it is newsworthy. The games' availability on FSN/DirecTV was mentioned on the UND alumni listing I mentioned here, but I'll also start posting it as news on the front page.

Hey Jim?  Was that a backhanded slap at bison fans and them fawning all over themselves about seeing their score on the espn ticker?  If so, well played!  If not, oh well. :0

Nah, I didn't even know that was a particular source of pride. Using scores on a ticker as a milestone is humorously timed, in that I noticed this year ESPN has been running the top DII scores; every Saturday night I see N. Dakota and our football game result scroll across ESPN at my undisclosed local watering hole.

However, it is understandable; when Kupchella talks about how we already have one D-I sport, I forget that other DII schools have never seen their premier sport on the regional FSN's, on the ESPN ticker, etc... Guess I've been taking the few series/year on FSN for granted; unfortunately, with only 1 Gopher series and no games at Denver, I think this year is an all-time low :) I've been lobbying my cable company to add CSTV which seems like it will have at least 1 Sioux game/year, but so far they haven't bitten.
