UMaine Black Bears, 2017-2018 season, is this Reds last stand?

Re: UMaine Black Bears, 2017-2018 season, is this Reds last stand?

I had several choices none of which were better or cheaper than spectrum. I'm shocked wireless hasn't become a bigger deal, other than cell service. There are 2 wireless internet providers around me. One I had for years was way better than satellite service but could barely stream anything. The other, Red zone wireless has had some issues and there big push to cover the state has slowed to a crawl. I don't believe they have expanded at all this year.
I'm grateful Spectrum finally came done my road. That's sad

Just an FYI that parking might be a bit crazy on Friday with the Class C Football State Title game also scheduled for a 7pm start next door at the stadium. MCI fans tend to travel well regardless of the game location, not sure about Cape Elizabeth but worth pointing out especially with BU coming to town. Tough call for me since I went to MCI and coached a handful of the senior class in local Little League All-Stars when they were much younger. Still nice to see them get to a fourth straight state title game. Shame there is no re-entry at the Alfond so I could go back-and-forth between the two...

$90K for a half mile of fiber? That would be considered a bargain in 2000 :)

Who are your options for alternatives to Spectrum? Hahahahaha. Sorry.

That's the thing driving internet in other countries. One guy I follow on Twitch has 13 choices for broadband access so they keep getting faster connections, better service and lower prices. Here the cable company tells us to bend over and will make us pay for the benefit of some Vaseline.

Hell, the Vaseline would be the less painful option, anyway, and a lot cheaper.

If you want to experience being dry- f#%ked, sign-up with Dish. Their agent sold me a package that included NESN, but neglected to mention that every Sox game was blacked-out where I live via NESN, because I'm only 5 hours away from Fenway...? Well, why in God's name would I pay for NESN if I couldn't watch the Sox?!?

I'll live to be 500 before I deal with them again. As much as I hated Time-Warner/Spectrum, Dish is light-years worse.

Come on, you thought the red Sox would be the team available in NY on dish? Gee I can't watch the Yankees here either. Blackouts happen on every cable or dish service

Wally, don't be numb here, you buy NESN to see the Sox, right? And they "offer" the network, but black-out every Sox game. (Am I missing something here?)

And BTW, Dish is feuding with YES, so I don't even get to watch the Yank-me's and hope they lose. It's a total rip-off either way you slice it.

Their are black out laws. Dish and direct have sports channels from all over the US. You can't watch Texas or Chicago or any other baseball team. This isn't new, this has been around for more than 20 years .

Also, if you buy MLB-TV you can't watch Red Sox in New England on it. They are pretty strict around this and you are correct that it has been this way for a long time.

Yeah, you would have to live under a rock or in NY to not know about blackout rules.
I had a C band dish(big dish) way back and you could watch everything at first, it was awesome. Then they started blacking out so you had to look for a feed to watch out of market games. I watched a ton of Chicago bulls when Jordan was there.

Big game tonight, a win against BU this weekend would be great.

Use a VPN and use a zip code in Miami. You'll be able to watch anyone but the Marlins.

Broke down and bought tickets. Plenty of seats open.
A maine win is possible, but all I can say is the dream is alive. Its why we like college hockey, live for another day.

If the team Snapchat feed is to be believed, looks like the throwbacks are being worn tonight.
