Up next: SALUKI Week!

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

at the press luncheon, they announced that it would be carried on direct TV channel 657 as well as Mediacom Connections 22. But he also said that those were "local clearances", so I don't know what that means for those outside the local area.

CFU will be carrying it on channel 15 (not mentioned at the luncheon, but CFU has been advertising it)

Hey, how far north does that broadcast go? pantherrob82 was telling me I could watched the SDSU game in Albert Lea, just an hour south of me!

Find any bar with an extended sports pack and they should have Fox College Sports. I get it on mediacom in Davenport.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Someone earlier mentioned Mediacom Connections will be showing the game, but with some kind of local clearance. What exactly does this mean for the DSM area? I'll be in DSM this weekend and would like to watch the game, and circumstances may not allow for a trip to a sports bar.

The game is also listed at 2pm on Dish Network channel 447.

"Local clearance" can mean two different things, in this context.

A "clearance" is when a station airs the game. Hence, it could mean that FCS is being aired locally, or it could mean that a local station is picking up the FCS feed and airing it themselves.

For instance, when an NFL team is on MNF, a local station airs the game in that city. ESPN is blacked out in that area.

I'm not aware of KCWI picking up this game, so there should be no local blackout.

I'm not sure what "local clearance" means, but the game will be on in Des Moines, per their website.

The old stadium brings back memories. Drove down there w/ buddies back in '85 & snuck schnapps into the stadium & proceeded to get drunk as a skunk & puke throughout the stadium. To make matters worse, the Panthers laid an egg that day & were beaten profusely. I do remember it looking very old that day although the memory is still foggy. The drive was a haul & a half. The Saluki Dog was coming off of a national title season & played like it.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

mudrafan,
imagine what you saw in 1985 and add 24 more years of rust to it, 24 more years of weathering to the concrete, and 24 more years to metal bleachers. Now you see why we built a new place. The old joke was Coach Kill wouldn't take recruits up to see the stadium till it was night, so they could see the redone turf and not the rusting hulk surrounding it. After the first game, i saw my old boss from when i worked at the athletic department and we both said how nice it was to go to a home game and not feel like you needed a tetanus shot before sitting down

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

I just spoke to someone from Direct TV and she could not guaranty that I would be able to see the game on channel 657...she said it would be a 50-50 chance...Does anyone else have any insite to if you have Direct TV if we will get the game for sure?? I planned on having people over to watch the game but I am getting a little concerned now???

The CSR's at DTV are totally clueless.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

trying to decide if it is worth driving to St. Louis on friday, Carbondale on Saturday, then back to Des Moines that night. Or to save money for season tickets for basketball. Cheap hotel in St. Louis (good neighborhood according to multiple freinds) and a chance to see UNI win in Carbondale. Help me out folks.

Believe that was '84, Mudes. We lost 40-10 in a rain-soaked game. I hurt my knee. First year of the Gateway in '85 and we didn't play SIU for some scheduling thing. Youngstown State was our "conference" game that year to replace SIU. We won 50-26. Won 11 in a row that year, losing to Drake in the first week and losing to Georgia Southern in the semis.
