This is from the athletic department regarding the clearances and airings of the MAC tourney games. I'm not sure what it all means, but it looks like it might answer some questions regarding who gets to see what and where.

I'll have to double-check the Dish network stuff, but my program guide as of last night listed a Blue Jackets game tonight on Channel 425 (FS Ohio) while our game is listed as being joined in progress on one of the alternate channels up in the 450's or so.

But I have the multi-sports pack with all the foxsports channels so I don't know if that makes a difference or not??

My DISH shows the games on 450 tonight, 451 Friday night. But just men's games, nothing for the women.

In Toledo, the BG game tonight is also on BCSN.

Thank you BSU/CMU.. going to overtime to buy DISH viewers more time for the "Joined in Progress" B.S. tonight on Ch. 450.

Doubtful. There is too much of a break between the 2nd and 3rd games. Unless of course the second game goes a few overtimes....

FSN plans to show the nightly Cavs show in between games 2 and 3, so I think there's catch up time built in.

Thanks for the buzzkill, jerks.

ME TOO!!!

If you are in Bowling Green...go to TW channel 22. It's on there. Although its halftime now.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I was able to catch the second half of the game on Dish tonight thanks to the DVR. The first half was preempted by some other game, but I still got to see most of the 2nd half, which made me happy. Go BG!

I got pretty steamed by Dishnetwork. The stupid Pac-whatever game before ours either ended early or on time and they showed what must have been a half hour of some stupid post-game show followed by the blank DishNetwork screen for a few more minutes before finally joining the game in progress with about 13 minutes left.

Does anyone know if tonight's men's game is on in the Norwalk/Willard area on Time Warner?

No BG in Columbus on Friday night. Not on my time warner nor my friends WOW. The cavs are on two different channels.

This is ridiculous, great information BG sports info department.
