UofM Hockey tonight on Chicago TV

Submitted by turbo cool on

Ok, I know they're have probably been a few hundred posts on this already but this has been the week from hell at work and i've been super busy/super sick until now. If you live in Chicago, what channel is the game on tonight? I have Comcast and just went through all of my channels and couldn't find the game.

Am I relegated to go to one of the Michigan bars like Duffy's or Moe's (those were the only two UofM bars in the entire city playing the games last weekend supposedly) tonight? Dear God I hope not but I definitely will if need be. All help is appreciated fellow Chi-mgobloggers. I can't wait for the game tonight, GO BLUE!.

Brian's puck preview had it on Comcast Local (in MI). Unless you live in regions where MASN or FSN are native (which you clearly don't), you need a dish to get them. I checked the Comcast listings in the SW burbs, and these channels don't even show up.

This is exactly why I dropped cable years ago (well, that and the never-ending rate increases). But I realize that doesn't really help right now.

Looks like you might be headed to Duffy's...

P.S. Go Rats.

to see about the Fox College Sports channels (which I get through Comcast's sports package here in Chicago), since they often syndicate games on other Fox Sports networks (in this case, was hoping they'd pick up the Fox Sports North feed).

Unfortunately, he basically said that's up to the NCAA, and it hasn't showed up in the program feed for any of those 3 FCS channels. I also e-mailed FCS and the NCAA to no avail.

Long story short, looks like we're relegated to espn360 or one of the bars unless you have a friend with satellite...

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to get some good mgofans at one of the bars. I was at Duffys last weekend for the Northern game and there weren't many fans. If anyone else is interested, we should definitely do this.

yeah, looks like you are screwed and will have to out to Duffy's. I am in Ann Arbor and my wife's sorority has a formal tonight so I cannot even watch the game on tv. She would skip the formal but she is the one who organized it (It was supposed to be last night, but they lost the reservation and had to switch to tonight). At least she gave me permission to bring my laptop to the formal to watch the game on ESPN360.
