CU & ECAC Tourney on TV

[ugarte]

Great. I can't watch (family obligations) AND I can't DVR. Cablevision, I hate you so much.

Don't be so sure... I wonder if this is legit:

If I ever sees ya, I'm gonna kiss ya. (Now I have to make sure I have that tier - or whether I need to do a one-day upgrade...)

AFAIK, no tier...

There must be some tier that I'm not paying for because I don't have ESPNU. I will on Friday, though.

Apparently, it's a slow phase-in.  Everyone with Cablevision should have it by tomorrow.  The website isn't any help, though: http://optimum.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/optimum.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2268&p_created=1194010499&p_sid=n2_fEIXj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MiwyJnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1lc3BudQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1

What is the TV situation for Friday night? *sigh*

ESPNU-HD! (::banana:: ::banana::::banana:: for billhoward ;-))

See this USCHO article.  TV and intertube information at the end.

Am I misreading, or would there not be significant overlap between the Cornell & Wisconsin games (both of which are spoken for by ESPNU)?

FWIW, ESPNU's schedule is now showing our game as being played at 3:30pm Eastern.

Yeah that schedule was "updated Aug 11 2009". I'd go by your tickets.:-}

So how will they be handling the television broadcast then? Both Cornell & Wisconsin are scheduled for ESPNU Friday night, with the CU game starting at 6:30pm Eastern, and the Wiscy game 8:00pm Central. Do you think they'll decide the overlap portion on a region by region basis, go with the closer game, or none of the above?

EDIT: Ignore what I just wrote. My inability to convert correctly between time zones (a thorn in my side for most of my life) strikes again! I was converting 8pm Central to be 7pm Eastern, instead of the correct 9pm. With that in mind, the overlap between the two games will not be significant (if present at all).

Soooo, no internet video options for this weekend, I take it?

Lauren, Try espn360.com. Some of the regional games are on there, I'm not sure if you have the option of getting the espnu feed through that as well. Worth a try.

What about that justin.tv thing (never tried it, just seen it mentioned a bunch of times).

I am assuming that in no case will there be a difference between what is shown on ESPNU and ESPNUHD (other than the sharpness). That is not clear from the USCHO info but appears to e the case from the ESPN info.

It looks like espn360 only has NMU vs. SCSU listed for Friday, unfortunately, and I think I'd have to wait for some kind soul to donate their time and resources to rip the broadcast for justin.tv for that to work.  (Where's the batting eyelashes smiley?)  I'll definitely be investigating sub-legal streams closer to event time.

[Scersk '97]

As will I.  Thankfully, we also have the Denver vs. RIT test case prior to our game.

I suppose I could always hitchhike to Bellingham and find a sports bar.

Others of us can't make it, either.  At least you have a good excuse: raising the next generation of fans. :-)

Who is interested in a Friday night viewing in Boston?  I can give Sports Depot a call and see if they can reserve one or two TV's for us, depending on how many can't make it to Albany this weekend.

Is this going on?

There was not much interest.  I'm just going to show up at 6 and ask for a single TV, probably near the bar.  I'll be wearing my dream-crushing, soul-devouring T-shirt.

I spoke to Teddy at Sports Depot last night during the bball game...he said show up at 6 and he should be able to give us the private room before the bball games start...

Ok, cool.  I wonder how many people will be left in town given how close the regional is.
