Good luck this Saturday, Furhman, and those that do make the trip, hope you can experience some great Montana hospitality.
I would bet so. As rtb said, he has an email in to them, they have been happy to give us Sat coordinates in the past when I have emailed them so no reason to think they wouldn't again if they are broadcasting it.

MSU had the sat coordinates on the website prior to the CAT/GRIZ game; so I'm guessing they will get the coordinates up for this game as soon as they know something. TV coverage seems to get squirrelly with decisions being made towards the middle of the week. We were supposed to know if the CAT/GRIZ kickoff was going to be pushed back from noon to 12:37 by Tuesday afternoon .. but I think it took them till Thursday to figure it out and post the time.

I would assume the game is on tv, you wouldn't imagine the uproar if the first home playoff game MSU has in 22 years is not televised

Assuming that my wife the griz won't let me go to the game and that the game will be televised, do you think there will be a Cat/griz type of tailgate parties around the U.S.?

Wouldn't that be called a riot?

It would be cool to see both Cat and griz games at the same sportsbar if possible.

Doesn't ESPN own the rights to all the playoff games?

I don't know, but the game better be on TV.

I assume a lack of lights is the reason for the early local time kickoff?

FU: Just for some background, this link talks about all of the satellite parties that the Cat and Griz alumni associations co-host around the country for Cat/Griz games. We manage to get along pretty well. At the one in the Bay Area, a couple Griz alums even play the school songs on the trumpet and drums for both scores after each score. At the end of the day, we all have a lot in common, and most realize that's a lot more important than getting too pissy over the game itself.

There are exceptions, of course.

I don't think ESPN has the rights to all the games. I remember many other Griz playoff games that were televised, but not televised on ESPN.

Oh and FU....riot? Naw....most of the time we can put up with the Bobcats.

Our stadium doesn't have lights; plus we're trying to ice your quarterback and receivers fingers!

We don't throw enough for that to be an issue. The colder the better for us to keep pounding our 250 pound fullback.

As long as we come out winners we can scout our opponent for the next week as that game will be on ESPNU. So that's something on TV scheduling just not what everybody was wondering about.

Is there a chance it would be on the internet feed at that 'bigsky' website? BTW, anyone have the link to it?

Oh yeah and if anyone thinks the temp will be a factor...its 39 here in Greenville right now.

from what everyone has said, the bigsky tv feed is worthless. I haven't tried it, but I have not heard on positive thing about it

the website is bigskyconf.com and I think there should be a link to BigSky TV from there. Good luck though because bigsky tv has horrible links.

Anyone heard anything new on TV coverage for the game?

VERY BAD NEWS!!! I just got an email from MaxMedia saying they won't be covering the game this weekend.

I have tickets to the Seahawks/Packers Monday Nov 27th, Monday Night football and I've sold my tickets already to come to Bozeman. Now I just need to convince my wife.

You're the man! Other than being married to a griz.
