'13-'14 Schedule

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

I think one of the games in Iowa City might have been on the U right after it launched a few years ago, but other than that I can't think of any.

This is a BIG deal. It really shows the respect our program has earned from across the country. Now we just need to sell the place out...

Really? It has been over three years since UNI was in the tournament. What national respect do you think UNI has? There are about five or six full time sports network on cable now. All fighting for content.

Feel free to rip me but a game on ESPNU which isnt even on many people's cable package is not a big deal.

It's a standard channel for DTV and DISH.

Mediacom does not carry this channel in its basic lineup.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

A majority of Americans do not subscribe to Mediacom. The number of people able to view this game is exponentially larger than the number of viewers subscribed to Mediacom who could in turn, view ESPN3 or WatchESPN, or drive to the McLeod. Any game broadcast on national television whether its ESPN, NBC sports or a basic cable channel is a big deal.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

The fact that there is a game that's being televised in the McLeod Center that isn't part of a Bracket Buster or conference game is quite the coup. I can't think of one home game televised on national tv that UNI has had in basketball besides conference and bracket busters since the beginning of UNI joining the MVC. Regardless of it being on ESPNU, the fact there are made for TV games across the country at neutral sites for various tv outlets, college football playoffs and bowl games, and other ncaa post season games, the fact UNI gets a home game on national tv on a weekend in the completion of a home/home obligation is a great step. Pack the Mac, get more interesting home games, and I think you can see similar opportunities in the future.

With that being said, I see on the BB Travelers website that UNI is still looking to finish their schedule with one more game. That leaves 3 unannounced games (1 has historically been a d3 game, 1 unannounced game, and one they are still looking for). Assuming they have one of those as a d3 home game, we have 12 home games set. Max of 14, but most likely 13. So, expect a season ticket package of 13-14 home games and 2 exhibitions.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

i have no idea why half my post disappeared, but yes this is a big deal. not that one game matters, but it is clearly a sign of name recognition and people appreciating a good matchup.

the only thing that surprises me is that R&B didnt complain about our lack of post play keeping us off ESPN.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

Two months from now r&b is going to be *****ing about how tickets to this game are more than $5 and therefore too expensive. So expensive that he'll just stay home and watch it on tv.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

Tickets will be $5 if post play doesnt improve. You can take that to the bank.

lol

OK. It's a good thing Mediacom only has about 700K cable subscribers.

DTV has 20MM and DISH has 14MM.

Well, I guess the fact that the premier sports network booked a national broadcast game between VCU and UNI when not a tournament or in conference match-up answers your charge regarding RESPECT. I give a great deal more weight to their determination of "respect" than I do to yours. If a 3rd grader checked my pulse-----I would question their accuracy. If checked by a doctor------I'd be more convinced.

Re: '13-'14 Schedule

ESPNU is a premier network. If you say so.
