Michigan Hockey NCAA Tourney vs. B-State Open Thread
About 45 minutes away. I assume a lot will be following along online, even though it's on Comcast 900 (and various other channels as Brian listed).
For those whose cable companies have finally gotten on the bandwagon, the game is also being broadcast on ESPN360.
ARE WE READY?!?!!
I'm stuck watching on espn360, but luckily I can broadcast it to my TV so it is a pretty good viewing experience.
Wish I had full DVR, but this will definitely do!
GO MICHIGAN! BEAT THE BEAVERS! GO!
any stream out there other than the 360?
I'm dooooooomed :(
can't get the UMICH VPN to connect @ work.
Right now I see two options on justin.tv - both showing it after the UND-Yale game. Here's a link to the michigan search - maybe more will pop up once we get a bit closer...

edit: crap - the currently available feeds might give you the tape delay on ESPNU. Hope for a dedicated one from someone with Fox Sports North or Comcast 900.
Could help to search Bemidji on there as well in case someone posts something without mentioning Michigan for some reason...
the one you linked says 7:30...

This seems like it could be legitimate as well:
What error are you getting with the VPN? Or you just can't install it there?
RIT just scored on UNH.
W.O.W.
unbelievable goal...
Let's Go Blue!
God I hope someone comes through with a stream other than 360...
The Daily is also live blogging the game, so that's another option:

Save some questions as people come on....(not sure about alternative internet feeds).
I updated the preview with some extra television information, but if you missed it Saturday's game is now on Comcast so everyone should get it. Channels:
Comcast: 900
Dish: 432 and 436.
DirecTV: 640 and 668.
The game is also on ESPN360 and will be on ESPNU on tape delay. Hypothetical Sunday game would be on ESPNU.
North Dakota has also made it a game after being down three at the end of 2. It's not often you see someone taken down on a breakaway and still score.
announcing the RIT-New Hampshire game? Yeesh.
Mods, can we get the stream into the OP?
what do you mean?
edit: nm, i think i did what you meant.
Well, not exactly what I meant, but I added the station listing later, so a nifty addition. I must remember that html link stuff.
Let's Go Blue.
I've noticed espn360 lags A LOT. Maybe it's just my awful ass Vista though. I don't understand why BTN didn't just broadcast this game? I'm sure there isn't anything else going on worth watching so broadcast a NCAA tourney game!
ESPN has the rights for the entire tournament.
Damn ESPN. What is going on the other networks of ESPN that they couldn't show it on TV?
You know that college hockey is maybe the 42nd most popular sport in ESPN's broadcast area, right? Other than a few people like us, no one gives a rat's ass.
Lower than Womens College Basketball??
Yes, by a lot. Almost every college has a woman's bball program. Almost no one has college hockey programs.
And both probably get better ratings.
Women's Basketball quite often beats the NHL in the ratings, so this one's a given.
I'll blame half of the Women's Basketball > NHL equation on Bettman, but that is a whole new thread topic.
True. Anyone wanna tell me why Illinois, Iowa and the other Big Ten schools don't have a hockey program and freakin Alabama-Huntsville has one!?
title IX and $$$$$$$
I've only got the Justin Tv feed. Someone is taking a picture every second and uploading it via iPhone to the feed.
For me, ESPN360 is like watching it on TV. Maybe a bad connection?
I wonder how much that one guy is enjoying Earth Hour?
Anyone know his e-mail address?
I set up the UofM VPN client but still can't get ESPN360 to work. Any ideas?
Do you use Google Chrome?
I'm using Firefox.
I have no idea then...I usually have to switch over to firefox for 360
the demon bear down(ed) 3-1
well, Yale is about to beat NoDak. Bulldogs up 3-2 late in the 3rd.
is it on yet? 'Cause if it is, I don't get it. And that would me sad.
espn360 has less than 3 minutes left of the yale/und game.
They've got STATE CHAMPS, a HS athletics thing on right now, but supposed to switch at 7:30.
With Colorado College and (possibly) North Dakota out, it looks better. But first the Beavers must perish tonight
Is 'comcast 900' unique to the Michigan footprint (handprint?)?
It's a Comcast TV presents thing, in their optional channels. Might not be universal around the country.
Did anybody notice that ESPN360 is broadcasting Yale/UND during breaks from Axe commercials?
I think I saw that commercial 200 times during the BC-UAF game.
RIT v UNH. Ratings coup ESPNU. Ratings coup.
Comcast 900 is live now
This is big time. Time to shave the beavers.
