That was the first thing I thought of when I saw that. Didnt see womens field hockey.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Hopefully by "airing" it they mean more than just ESPN3 or ESPN8,9 or 74 or whatever channel they have now.

Fencing? WTF??

I've done enough fencing in my life growing up on the farm, but I don't know why people would want to watch it.

Well, maybe women's fencing... :biggrin:

Haven't had a belly jerker like this in a long time. Thanks for making my day, Bri-Dog. And hey, I can relate, but...but...but...I thought people would want to watch.

[jimmyptubas]

I've tried to watch Lacrosse..i guess i just don't "get" it....much like hockey...

[stevdock]

well NDSU playoff football is never ever going to be consistently on TV ever again after that deal. So sad as up until this year I'm sure a majority of the area was at least able to watch most of the Bison playoffs games.

[scbison91]

Lacrosse is huge out east. Its probably at the same level of popularity as college hockey....It is also becoming bigger in midwest, ie Minnesota is developing a good reputation for lacrosse.. Actually, NDSU has pretty good clubs lacrosse team in the MCLA as they made Final 16 tournament last year.

[scbison91]

is bass fishing involved? Funny you say that, I was watching ESPNU a few months ago and there was college fishing on.. I believe Mississippi won the tournament...
