3/11/2007 8:40:56 PM

[Edited on March 11, 2007 at 8:42 PM. Reason : ]

DirecTV ftw


i still don't understand why people who love sports haven't made the switch? it's the same price (if not cheaper) than TWC Digital and they offer ESPN2 HD, NFL Network HD, ESPNU and all of the FSNs and Comcasts

it's logical

3/11/2007 8:44:10 PM

but what if it rains?

40min? fuck that. we were 4 min away.

here is to hoping drexel is too busy crying that they didnt get in to put up a fight

3/11/2007 8:46:35 PM

thers bound to be some serious storms during march madness and direct tv won't be getting shit.

3/11/2007 8:48:05 PM

This whole espnu shit is ridiculous

3/11/2007 8:49:21 PM

i've had DTV for 9 months and haven't lost service once

and I am surrounded by tall ass pine trees and God knows we've had some nasty storms in that time

3/11/2007 8:49:39 PM

oh, we gon' be like a nasty whore. we goin ALL THE WAY

3/11/2007 8:49:54 PM

for the low price of 12 beers, you can watch the game at my place and be guaranteed a prime viewing spot on one of our 6 couches

PM for details

3/11/2007 8:56:57 PM

Go Pack!

3/11/2007 8:56:59 PM

we've had directv at home in charlotte for probably 8-10 years and i can still count on one hand how many times its gone out.

DirecTV ftw

3/11/2007 8:57:14 PM

i know so many people that go to drexel, we had better not lose. i'm going to be very embarrassed.

3/11/2007 8:57:50 PM

i dont think gettin up for the game will be a problem. sid will take care of that. but i am worried about fatigue of course. they gotta be spent. here's hopin we can overcome that as well.

3/11/2007 8:58:04 PM

^^^ this guy knows his shit

3/11/2007 8:58:05 PM

damn....my parents have had digital cable for about 6 or 7 years and I cant count on two hands the number of times its either gone out or our boxes had to be replaced.

3/11/2007 8:58:35 PM

talked to Sid about 20 mins ago....asked him about the NIT and he told me we were playin @ Drexel, he didnt sound happy about that at all...i think he knows we got the shaft

3/11/2007 8:59:33 PM

the drummer from Def Leppard can count the number of times I watched ESPNU and ESPN2 HD while I subscribed to TWC on his left hand

3/11/2007 9:00:36 PM

5 games in 6 days

3/11/2007 9:00:40 PM

so their place only seats 2300 that sucks, any idea how to get tickets?

3/11/2007 9:01:36 PM

Maybe they can do something in Reynolds for this, would be nice

3/11/2007 9:02:03 PM

So if we win and Ok State win, who wants to go with me on a road trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma and see the Pack play at one of the best college venues out there, in Historic Gallagher-Iba Arena?

But we didn't get the shaft. They had a better resume and a better RPI (they beat Syracuse on the road and Villanova on the road to show they can ball).. Yeah, we would have sold more tix but the NIT is run by the NCAA now and they do it based on the basketball you play from Game 1 to the last game, not on off the court things..

3/11/2007 9:05:54 PM

no i think he means the seeding

3/11/2007 9:06:32 PM

2 on espn

3 on espn2

6 on espnu

5 untelevised


shoulda been one of the 5 on the main espns, but at least we're on TV

Because I have zero need for a satellite dish with 30 Spanish channels and 10 women's entertainment channels maybe? I'm waiting til I can get a la carte cable.

3/11/2007 9:09:55 PM

but if it's the same price, if not cheaper.....

3/11/2007 9:13:11 PM

oh shit, their coach is named bruiser flint, thats pretty hardcore

How many days are in-between the NIT games. It takes around 16-17 hours to drive from Charlotte all the way to Stillwater. Get about four people and climb into a car that gets good gas mileage (which I have ), and has cruise control (which I don't have ) pack up some snacks, some Red Bull, and some water, and just take turns driving. Start out at like 4 am, and hopefully get there by 10 pm or 11 pm. The tickets are first come first serve right, so just order them over the phone and pick them up at the ticket office when you get there.

3/11/2007 9:27:04 PM

1 day for 1st and 2nd round

i assume anyway

3/11/2007 9:39:53 PM

Well our game is on March 13th, and we would at least get 2 days in between. It definitely would be a hard task to accomplish, but well worth it, especially if we could come out of there with a win. Getting our game on the 17th would be the most preferable day.

I just noticed that the dates for the rounds are listed on the top of the bracket. The second round games are on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and the 19th.

as i posted earlier i've had DirecTV for 8-10 years and dont have 30 spanish channels. They are available if you want them paco and 2 or 3 come standard automatically. But those are the same ones you get with TWC. As for women's channels your Oxygen, WE, and some other shit can sometimes come through when you get a late night Breakfast Club or other awesome movie.

And like was posted earlier...its the same price, so if you don't want to watch them don't turn to them.

3/11/2007 9:46:24 PM

lets worry about Drexel before we start thinking about roadtrippin to oklahoma

3/11/2007 9:49:45 PM

notice I said if we win and Ok State win. with such a short amount of time in-between the games you have to start thinking about it sooner and garner interest from those that would like to go if it happens. if is the key word there.

The only time I can recall watching an NCSU game on satellite at a bar up here in heavy rain the reception went out. Sucked ass.

[Edited on March 11, 2007 at 9:56 PM. Reason : k]

3/11/2007 9:56:02 PM

hah. 1200mi+ and over 18 hrs. That would suck in a straight shot. I almost died driving the 1000 miles to Shreveport, LA, but that was with 2 of us driving.

I have Directv at home in wilmington and the damn thing has a habit of going out when I don't want it to. There can be a monsoon outside and it'll stay on, but god forbid it just be sprinkling outside.

we have potential rematches with west virginia and alabama in our regionals. i think we can beat them, assuming we get there of course. then later, we can see florida state or meeechigan in the semi finals.

3/11/2007 9:59:11 PM

i have dish network


its 39 bucks for like 250 channels, i got it just for the U


10X better than TWC and I save money


IT HAS NEVER CUT OUT DUE TO RAIN, SNOW, WIND, ETC.



funny people really believe what TWC tells them in their commercials.

3/11/2007 10:35:56 PM

mine went out one time due to snow.

a tree fell on it, hahahahah

3/11/2007 10:37:14 PM

^What about due to age?

This sucks that they only get a day off.

3/11/2007 10:38:46 PM

Drexel should be in the NCAA Tournament... this fucking sucks! I expected us to bounce early simply because the team is physically and emotionally spent after this weekend.

3/11/2007 10:53:02 PM

could it be out of the realm of possibility that the ncaa commission and nit commission colluded in matching us up against drexel? we're on a hot streak right now, and many feel drexel got snubbed from the ncaa's. if we beat drexel, then the ncaa folks can say, "see, drexel sucks".

3/11/2007 11:21:35 PM

yes ... it could be out of the realm of possibility
