Title: Video for Cornell-UVa lax
Post by: jtwcornell91 on March 06, 2009, 09:52:55 AM
According to the Cornell athletics site, it's at http://www.accselect.com/

Apparently they've switched over to ::yark:: all-access, and want me to install something called Microsoft Silverlight which of course doesn't exist for Linux.

John, if you're going to persist in using some obscure Baltic operating system, this is what you're going to get... ::whistle::

To heck with video.  I'll be there and hope to meet some of y'all.

Is it "socially acceptable" to wear a hockey jersey to a lacrosse game?

Sure, as long as it's RED.

IMO, no its not socially acceptable.

I haven't used it, but the Moonlight plugin is available for Linux.

It's just Microsoft FlashPlayer, sort of. You need to give it a little time to mature. Look how far Windows has come in 25 short years. At least half my devices are recognized in Vista.

On top of that, the monthly charge is now $13, and there is (of course ::flipa::) no single-game option. ::cuss::

I guess I'll just listen to Barry on the redcast.

It is odd that there is no single game option, because it says on the ACC front page that you can get a single game for 5.95. The monthly is almost worth it because you'll be able to get the Duke game also, but if a single game is 5.95 the 13 monthly is still more than the 2 individual games.

Although the absence of a single-game option is lame, signing up for a one-and-done monthly gig for $12.95 may not be a bad idea given that there are two Cornell lacrosse games on ACC Select in the next week and a half: Cornell at Virginia today at 2:30 p.m. and then Cornell at Duke on Tuesday, March 17, at 7 p.m.

You'll get a couple of other non-Cornell lacrosse games in the mix as well.

Edit: Oops, sorry to repeat what Jacob said above.

Hadn't noticed that.  Doesn't help me, though, since I'll be in California at a meeting for the Duke game.

the big issue with silver light is the stream is not as rippable
