I need to start hanging out with you at these bars then, because every one I go to I need to know what DirecTV channel to tell them to tune to for the game I want.

Re: Michigan Tech post season thread, hunting for hardware!
Love hearing the Pep Band history. I heard them break out one of the classic songs I remembered as a kid during the tail end of the season - the Ike & Tina Turner version of "Proud Mary". They did a mean "Vehicle" back then too. It was cool to hear "Roll Out the Barrel" in that '81 video.
I can tell you that all 3 of those numbers appeared in the 1981 game - #2 was Tony Stiles, #12 was Ron Zuke, and #22 was Mike Lauen. The best look at most of them might be when they receive their medals at the end.
And here's a fun trivia fact for you about that video clip. This game happened very soon after WLUC switched from film to 3/4" videotape, and the photographer who went to Duluth was none other than Buck LeVasseur. You can hear him say "c'mon Steve" when NMU's Steve Bozek skates down the left wing and provides the assist for the Wildcat goal in the 3rd.

The reason the other games are locked is because they will be originating on ESPNU, which is a premium level channel. If you have the full sports entertainment package, they will be unlocked.

That's what I thought, because I when logged into the AppleTV with my Comcast information I can watch all their channels.
I just remembered ESPN3 being free (but potentially limited to who your internet provider was).

That's basically where I was going with it, too, but since you'll be there, it makes more sense for them to use yours.

Direct TV themselves told us they don't carry it. you must hang at some pretty amazing bars. its ok now, Shirtless has us going through Roku to get on. that seems easiest. actually ESPN just giving College Hockey actual TV carriage would be easiest. the NCAA should require that in all future contracts.

Re: Michigan Tech post season thread, hunting for hardware!
I listened to the MP Show this evening. He made a point that he felt the 2nd goal shouldn't have counted because Mankato was offsides which can be reviewed if it leads to a scoring play. However all I had to look at was the WCHA.TV feed and the camera is shooting from center ice during that play so it is impossible to tell if they were onsides or not. The team might get other angles and I'm guessing the refs had other angles as well so I'll have to take their word. Would be a bummer if something like that turned the tide.

I tried to access an ESPN video feed as you described, but it detected that my Comcast package doesn't include ESPN and then blocked me.
However, I have a new plan for watching the game on my PC or Android using the Kodi program/app (formerly called XBMC). It is a slick app that let's you stream almost anything. For those who don't have Kodi, you can download it here. http://kodi.tv/download/
Then you need to find and install the ESPN3 video add-on in Kodi by going to System > Settings > Add-ons > Get Add-ons > Kodi Add-on repository > Video Add-ons > ESPN 3 > Install.
Once installed you go to Video > Video Add-ons > ESPN 3 and then select Live to see the feeds currently playing, or Upcoming > Hockey (or other sport) to see the upcoming games. The MTU vs. SCSU game feed is already shown as upcoming.

I just tested it out on the PC and was able to watch the Rutgers vs. UConn women's BBall ESPN 3 feed in pretty decent clarity. However, my Android phone didn't seem to like the feed. Normally I've had pretty good success pulling in XBMC/Kodi feeds on my phone and using Miracast to stream them to my Roku/TV.

You could check out NDSU's pile of NCAA football championship trophies. I heard if they win next year they are going to see if they can start storing them up in Grand Forks.
Good luck this weekend. I was at the X last weekend and was extremely impressed with your fan base. Fun to watch. You folks definitely enjoy hockey. Hope we get to play again this year down the road. Go WCHA!

Re: Michigan Tech post season thread, hunting for hardware!
Just make sure you do 110 mph down I-29 with MeanEgirl in the back seat. Good times, good times.
According to the WCHA on the Final Five poster several years ago, there were no differences between the Whioux and the Bison in hockey.....
Why not store them up there? Just gotta hope the flooding up there isn't as bad.

When did you get on? I know at least half of the allotment is gone.
I got on the list yesterday at noon and had a ticket at noon today though.
There's hope.
