YES Network carrying games!

Am I reading correctly that the NY Yankees new cable station, the YES Network is airing the Cornell-NH game on Sunday at 3:30?

That is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually they are airing UNH against the winner of CU vs. Quinnipiac, which will hopefully be Cornell YES will also be broadcasting the Western regionals on Friday and Saturday evening if you are interested.

Unfortunately for those of us in Ithaca, TWC isn't adding YES to its cable lineup until next Tuesday.

At least you are getting the YES Network in time for the baseball season. My sister is SOL because of the Cablevision/YES Network squabble.

Hey, check it out. DirecTV channel 622. Heh. When did that happen? TiVo hasn't noticed yet

Ithaca TW Cable says that they will air the second game (should CU win) on Channel 74. This was said on NewsCenter 7 this evening.

I spoke with a TWC representative today, and he said they were beginning to carry the YES network tomorrow.

Although their website does say it begins the 26th.

Either way, it should be interesting to see Fatso and Fruitloops on TV.

Unfortunately, the Cornell game has to be shown on yet another extension of the Evil Empire

SportsRadio 660, WFAN's drive-time talk show hosts.

As affectionately nicknamed by Don Imus.

They are now going to be simulcast on the YES network.

Thats "Mike and the Mad Dog" for those who must know.

Also known as Mike Francesa and Chris Russo...they should be "taken in small doses" only!

Unlike Bill Mazer.

Agreed. When "the Amazin" co hosted "Sports Extra" on Sunday nights which started in the early 70s on Ch 5 in New York...I think it was the first true sports news show...it was like manna from heaven.

He's not everybody's taste but I found him to be a great storyy teller and very knowledgeable as well. He captured very well the human side of sports without being sappy about it.

Do any of these guys do that now ?

He had an evening commute call-in radio show back in the mid-60s in NYC, IIRC. People would try to "stump" him with questions--and rarely succeeded. Nice, kind man. Knew just about everything about sports.

About 12 yrs ago Cablevision did the same shit with MSG network, causing us to miss an entire season of the Knicks.

Just to follow up, the YES network is now on in Ithaca.

May God save us all

I think so...that was before my time but somewhere I read about all the various radio shows he had.

Currently, I think he still hosts a morning talk show on WEVD 1050 in New York. It's not sports...mostly deals with current events.

He did the "stump Bill" thing for years...right up to his final days on Ch 5 TV. Amazing recall. His comments on the Knicks glory years (69-73) were incredible...how he characterized what was one of one of the most interesting cast of personalities in sports IMHO...in my time.

Very knowlegeable about the Jackie Robinson era also. A real New Yawker!

He did mornings on WEVD up until about 7 months ago, when WEVD became an affiliate of ESPN Radio.

Anyone else notice that the YES network commercials for the NCAA tourney have clips of Cornell playing North Dakota?

The first book of sports trivia that my partents bought for me (after they realized that I had an "interest-in-sports" gene that is quite recessive in my family) was by Bill Mazer. I still open it up from time to time. My parents didn't know who he was, so I thought it was really cool when I made the connection from the book on my shelf to the guy on Channel 5.

any idea where he can be heard now?

Will the game be interspersed with the West Regional which begins before the CU-QU game ends?

I think YES is carrying something else (a Yankees game, perhaps) Saturday afternoon. Ithaca TWC will be carrying CU-QU on a different channel, though the Sunday game will be on YES.

I hope the Sunday game will be on YES. I missed getting a copy of the Saturday game because I didn't put my order in with my Boston buddy. I did see the game live. Priceless.
