Idaho Game on TV

[Falcon Fanatic]

All of these posts on here are just confusing me. Ok, just to clarify, for my sanity... I have Time Warner's crappy cable at my house. I do not have any dish services. I don't have any special sports packages on my cable. I am guessing I cannot get the game on my tv, correct? So, WHERE on the internet can I get it? I'll pay a fee, but don't like having to subscribe to a service to do get it. I have done that before and cancelled it right afterwards, but hope I don't have to do that.

Any specific advice would be appreciated.

And, fwiw, vwfalcon, I'd love to come up to 149, but I have to work in the morning and with a 9 pm start...wouldn't be a good idea!!!!

Let me guess, a certain crappy cable company that rhymes with mime porner, the same one that supposedly sponsors BGSU athletics yet wouldn't put our women's basketball tournament game on in March, isn't affiliated with ESPN3.

Shocking.

No, Time Warner is affiliated. That's what I have. You just have to jump through a hoop by setting up a "My Services account." And with Time Warner, you have to subscribe to ESPN on your TV as well as have their internet service.

This seems to be so hit or miss. I've been able to watch ESPN3 in the past on Time Warner and I don't even HAVE their TV service...internet only.

Is Time Warner also your ISP? If yes, then you can view the game at espn3.com for free.

I suggest trying this out before game day. As I recall (over a year ago) I had to jump through some hoops to verify that I'm a TW customer before I had access to ESPN3. Now it just works.

I have something called bresco broadband....

Did it come with a cup of soup?

[Ydfalcon]

Definitely excited that it's been added to ESPN3. Otherwise, I would have had to go to a bar in Knoxville and been the one customer demanding they put on the BG game. Now I can enjoy on my own couch without paying the higher beer costs.

Can't wait to watch this game at Wolfey's in Elyria! I hope a lot of alums can make it! Freak, it's only an hour away from you!!!

Jerzees down the street in Green will have it since they have DirecTV. I really think the game will show up on my Dish system on one of the ESPN alternate channels...usually does. If not, I'll have Mrs. Freak drop me off at Jerzees and then stumble, I mean, walk home. It is only about a mile from the house.

GO FALCONS!!! LESS THAN 72 HRS TO GO...BEAT IDAHO.

Mike, Dish does carry Altitude from what I remember. I would reset your receiver and see if the guide updates. It must have been a late addition as it wasn't in my guide for DirectTV either until I reset it.

But you will also need to extra sports pack to get it though.

I think what I'm most excited about is wearing my jersey and actually having it fit! watched the video of me eating the Jolokia the other day and good Lord was I a heavy sumb!tch. Can't wait to don the Brown and Orange all day Thursday!!!

[robdupont]

That is a great idea. Lets wear Orange and Brown on Thursday.

[MarkL]

I'll be wearing an orange BG polo to work that day and my jersey for the rest of the day. Can't wait!

Can't wait!

Looks like BGSU is going to have host party at the Stroh. http://bgsufalcons.com/news/2011/8/30/F ... 10518.aspx

Seems kind of cool, but would be a lot cooler if we had a central, four-sided jumbo tron rather than the end board.
