denbo1 Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Is there any place that will have the game on? Quote
tuggnutt Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 There is a women's hockey game at 5pm at the Ralph (Olympic Ice) and the basketball floor is up on the main ice....I dont think they'll be hosting any "big screen parties". Quote
YaneA Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 I just heard, second-hand, that channel 23 in Grand Forks has made a deal to broadcast tonight's game live at 7:05. Quote
siouxgrad Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 If anyone knows how to get in touch with channel 23, please let me know. I'd love to find out if I can get the satellite coordinates. Thanks. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Channel 23 in GF? Is that "The Fighting Sioux Sports Network" channel up there? If so, is it possible that the rest of us with access to that will also be as blessed? You gotta have a dream! Quote
YaneA Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Yes, that's the Fighting Sioux Sports Network. I didn't hear the announcement myself so I don't know if the broadcast tonight is statewide or not. But, I'm pumped to get to see the game live, with the sound turned down, of course, and Hennessey doing play-by-play on the radio. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 My buddy and I just contacted Channel 23 out of GF and they did confirm that the game will be shown in GF at 7:00 tonight. For those in Fargo, however, the game will not be shown tonight. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Call 'em back and tell 'em to put it on all of the Midcontinent Cable portion Fighting Sioux Sports Network. Please! Forget those Cable One weenies in Fargo! Quote
GDM Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Your friendly neighborhood moderator just called Midcontinent Cable. The person I talked to said they'll have the game on their cable systems on the channel that normally carries the Fighting Sioux Sports Network. Those cities and channels are listed here. Quote
schmidtdoggydog Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Sioux fans in Fargo who are interested there is a group of us going out to the Roadhouse bar in Horace to watch the game. The TV is not huge, 25" or so, but it is better than nothing. The bar has been contacted and they are expecting us and will reserve the TV for us. Join us if you can. Quote
YaneA Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Terrific news! Who can we thank at Midcontinent for making this happen? Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 this is the best news I've heard all week. since fightingsioux.com doesn't list these games as being televised, I thought i'd be sitting by my computer listening to the webcast all night. but if I can watch it, wooooOO! Quote
kr Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 On 1310 am one of the hosts said that this e-mail should work to express thanks for the added in broadcast: pat_mcadaragh@mmi.net (I hope that is the correct last name as I was driving when they spelled that name.) Quote
BigGreyAnt41 Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 In case there are still skeptics, the splash screen on channel 23 says: "UND Sioux Vs. Minnesota Gophers 7:00 tonight" now, does anybody know about tomorrow nights game? edit: nevermind, it looks like they are diong a men's bball game tomorrow, so no hockey for us. Quote
denbo1 Posted January 10, 2003 Author Posted January 10, 2003 The guy at Midcontinent said that Sat. game would be on Fox. Quote
teamsioux Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Saturday's game is on Fox Sports (CH. 51 in GF) so there is no need to worry. Quote
sprig Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 Must be nice. Sitting here in NWND in one of very few towns that doesn't have cable from Midcontinent. Stinks. Our rural telco has the cable (bought it from Midco), and there's rumblings about picking up the Siouxsports network from Midco. Lots of Sioux fans here (in the only small town that has a hockey program out here) putting pressure on them, maybe by next season??? Not much left this year, with only two more home series (and a WCHA playoff series, I imagine). Have heard that WDAY will stream video for the CC game next Friday. If anyone has a link to where this can be accessed, please post it. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 sprig: Be bold. Be adventureous. Drive to the nearest "civilized" town and find a pub and ask for the game to be put on the tube. Quote
Fighting Sioux Hockey Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 So does anybody know for sure if the hockey game will be on friday night in South Dakota. On Fightingsioux.com they say it is a local broadcast only. Any feedback would be great or if anybody knows how to contact midcontinent i would appreciate it. Thanks. Quote
sprig Posted January 10, 2003 Posted January 10, 2003 sprig: Be bold. Be adventureous. Drive to the nearest "civilized" town and find a pub and ask for the game to be put on the tube. Civilization is at least 70 miles away. Since all of you are watching, I guess I'll be alone with streaming audio. Don't know if I can handle all that bandwidth. Maybe I'll hear the goals 30 seconds before they happen tonight, rather than a minute after they're scored Quote
