"xfinity Events Channel". Looks like it's devoted to televising St. Cloud State and Minnesota State hockey games, at least this time of year.

Channel 999 on Comcast cable, Channel 200-something on Charter.

Anything on satellite for those who might want to watch at a local watering hole?

And I can confirm 999 is mostly SCSU games this time of year on Comcast.

Currently shows 4 SCSU games and 3 MN State-Mankato games. This includes the past games they've already aired.

SCSU gets first dibs if they have a home series. Otherwise it goes to Mankato if they have a home game.

This year, it's Minnesota State on Friday and St. Cloud State on Saturday if both teams are at home, which only happens twice this year.

I don't think the games are available on satellite at all.

So is there a name for that channel for those of us not on Comcast, so we can look for it?

I'm pretty sure it is local Twin Cities Comcast only. Others can correct me if I am wrong.
If I remember correctly you are out-state, so you may not be able to get it through your cable provider. You can always purchase a single game pass through WCHA.TV (Stretch Internet). It should be about $10-15 for the weekend series. Or, $120 for ALL WCHA games, whenever you want to watch them....a pretty good deal if you are interested in any other college hockey games.

I'm not sure your VHS will be able to stream the games, though :p

I have a local provider in Northern MN with completely different channel numbers than Comcast and Charter (and Dish and the other dish one whose name I can't recall). And the guide only allows me to look a few days ahead (and it has happened in the past where the guide didn't actually list a game that was on) so I was hoping there were specific channel call letters I could look for. Not sure my provider has channels for special events though.

Who is Minnesota State?

Never heard of them.

Screaming Eagles? Every heard of them? Coach by one of the greatest people of all time, Craig T. Nelson! Shame on you for not knowing who they were.
 
Re: Minnesota vs Mankato State: Home and Home 11/13 & 11/14

University of Minnesota State At Mankato A&M College for Our Lady of Perpetual Sweat.

I *think* that's the official title of the school nowadays.
 
Re: Minnesota vs Mankato State: Home and Home 11/13 & 11/14

The original name: The Mankato Normal School, the first public college in the US headed by a woman. More like Mankato Abnormal School. To appoint a woman as the head of anything in 1868 took a lot of courage and conviction.

My brother and I tried to talk our friends into doing the hockey game on the way down but they weren't interested.

Thanks for the invite, we got a parking pass for Lot 65 so I'm not sure if we will stumble over that direction lol! This is my first trip to Iowa City, looking forward to tailgating and how electric the atmosphere is going to be with a 7pm kickoff and the undefeated Hawkeyes(Floyd on the line as well)......other than that it could be ugly for the visitors.:o

We owe you one.. So who knows.. That's got me feeling a little more comfortable though, because the smackdown Iowa got last year isn't forgotten.

You'll have a blast in Iowa City, I apologize if you deal with the few idiot fans we have, I know everyone's got them, but for 7pm games there's usually a few more for obvious reasons. The crowd should be primed and ready and I'd imagine an extremely electric atmosphere.. I can't wait. It's been a few years since Kinnick has rocked like it has this year and when the lights come on, it's a really fun place to watch a ball game. Where are your seats? You'll be surprised how close the field is to the stands; 7 yards. It makes for great views throughout the stadium, though.

The only thing the Gophers have going for them is the "nothing to lose" angle.

We are in 215 Row 30. We got them through the UofM so I assume that is a visitor section. I did a quick peek online and it looks like a good view. I'm looking forward to it though I don't have any expectations for the actual game.
