OK, I'll shoot him an e-mail. Might even be a good boy and join the CCOB while I'm at it. Been meaning to do that for a while anyway, though this club is a lot more fun. :-)

The club's membership chair (that would be me) will come beat you over the head with a club if you don't join and Rick will supply the club.

Seriously, The Sports Depot is a good place to watch the game. I may be there. I may be in Minnesota. But if I'm there, I'm bringing about 10 people with me.

OK, OK, I'm guilty. I'll join. But unless you've added creative signs, a pep band, and a bunch of screaming maniacs repeatedly telling Harvard how much they suck, I still say this club is more fun.

bump... just keeping this up top so people will see it

Hopefully I can bump it again when the tv station is announced

Tom Pasniewski 98 · March 22, 2005, 02:28:01 PM

The club has gone down hill a bit and I'll admit that we have no screaming maniacs, pep band, etc. You'll notice that I'm usually the first one to step in and say what the club is planning on doing with regards to sports events, but the Faithful have found the exact place we would have gone to first. Hey, what's not to like about this club.

Beat me to it =)

I confirmed that Sports Depot has the Sports Pack, so we're 99.999% in the clear. The 0.001% being if ESPN gives the broadcast to FSN Irkutsk, which I do not believe is covered under the DirecTV package.

abmarks · March 22, 2005, 02:57:24 PM

guys- we still don't know if any satellite channel is actually showing the saturday game live. Not so 100% in the clear yet..........

DeltaOne81 · March 22, 2005, 03:14:48 PM

Neither is FSN Chicago... and that's about it (it was removed a few months ago after monetary disputes, I can only assume, and replaced with Comcast

abmark, yes, read the post right ahead of you, that is the one variable we are waiting on
< reloads TV info page... nope, nothing yet >

[EDIT] We are still not sure if this article is correct...check this thread http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,61363 for updates on whether or not we can get the broadcast

Big Red Hockey's NCAA Television Schedule Announced

Local fans can catch all West Regional games on Syracuse's Time Warner Cable

March 22, 2005

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell men's ice hockey fans from across the country can see the Big Red's NCAA tournament games at the West Regional in Minneapolis, Minn., locally on Syracuse's Time Warner Cable and also live on DirecTV satellite system.

The Big Red, the No. 2 seed in the West, will face No. 3 seed Ohio State on Saturday, March 26 at 6 p.m. ET at the Mariucci Arena. With a win, Cornell would face the winner of No. 1 seed Minnesota and No. 4 seed Maine on Sunday, March 27 at 3:30 p.m. ET in the West Regional final. Both games will be televised live in Ithaca and the surrounding areas by Syracuse's Time Warner Cable, which can be found on channel 26.

On DirecTV, the Altitude Sports Network (channel 644) will broadcast both Saturday's West Regional semifinal and Sunday's West Regional final live, while ESPNU (channel 609) will carry Saturday's contest on tape delay at 11:30 p.m. and will deliver Sunday's final live. To get both channels, you have to purchase the Sports Pack option.

DeltaOne81 · March 22, 2005, 04:38:53 PM

Just beat me to it!

Yay for Altitude Sports! I knew I liked that channel the first time I caught the Utah Grizzlies versus Chicago Wolves on it!

LGR!

DeltaOne81 · March 22, 2005, 05:26:19 PM

May have to put this on hold... check out the "What's going on... TV???" thread. It seems still unsettled at this point.

DeltaOne81 · March 22, 2005, 08:24:29 PM

Seems like we're back on. DirecTV *should* be picking up the Altitude Sports alternate feed on channel 658. If someone is near the bar, and wants to confirm some of the details (i.e. have them check if they get the Thursday Altitude Sport feed on 657 at 5 pm when there's D-II bball, that might help some).

dargason · March 22, 2005, 08:37:41 PM

I'll be in the area that evening, so I can check on that.

So channel 658 is the alternate? 657 is Altitude regular? Is there anything on 658 that we can check for?

Rita · March 22, 2005, 08:50:03 PM

channel 657 is one of the alternate feeds, and that will be active on thursday after 5 pm mst (men's DII basketball).
channel 658 is another alternate feed, the one that will be carrying the game. IIRC, the woman at Altitude said that 658 won't be active until friday night. However, if the bar is getting one alternate feed (i.e 657 on thursday), chances are pretty good they will get the other.

my local sports bar doesn't have altitude, but they are open until 3:30 am.... thus i'm may be stuck watching on tape delay. however, if i get them to pick it up, they do have wireless internet access so i can watch the game (no way to get sound with hoops), but listen in on the college sports pass.

DeltaOne81 · March 22, 2005, 09:09:06 PM

Right, 644 is Altitude regular.

But if they get 657 on Fri, chances are pretty good (though of course not 100%) that they'll get 658 on Saturday. Its about the only predictor we can try anyway.
