I wish.

damn. how much did your stream cost? what site did you go through?

by oneilltn on Oct 7, 2011 5:15 PM EDT up reply actions

7.95 for 1 game

10.95 for a month.

Since BC is going to be playing two games, I just paid 10 bucks for the month subscription so I could watch both games for less than 15 bucks.

Anyone watching on FCS?

This broadcast is unwatchable. I hope FCS or WDAZ gets their act together.

The FCS broadcast is garbage. So glad I get the DirecTV sports pack.

The BCEagles.com radio stream is awful … I can hardly hear Rish over the in-area advertising/music

I was just going to say, John Rish sounds like he is announcing from a tunnel.

First the TV feed goes out, then the BC audio goes out, and then the lights at the arena go out.

Some days, it just doesn’t come together.

FCS sux

The few minutes I saw of the game before ~~- what, too much snow on the satellite dish? .~~ killed the feed told me a few things: There are at least 7 BC fans in North Dakota (more than MichSt), there is a slightly creepy organization encouraging people to “help” and “spread your wings” and “pass it on” and, I hate the new UA unis – but that I think is the Spaziani effect: he’s making all UA stuff seem crappy. But it makes me fear Cedorchuk is behind the bench.

Something I just noticed on the jerseys.

Right below the back of the neck is 4 stars, presumably for our 4 national titles like they do in soccer, pretty cool if you ask me.
