Thought I would post this so nobody is caught off guard at the last minute. The MVFC owns the rights to the game so KVLY / NBC cannot broadcast it. You will need to watch it on ESPN3, listen on the radio, or on the Bison 1660 Mobile App for audio

Bars should be packed

Download the watch ESPN app if your cable company provides access to it. DirecTV, Dish, Midco, and Cable One offer it.

Midco provides it. Also if you have Sling Orange, or Playstation Vue you can get ESPN3.

For those of you that have these services, you'll want to use the WatchESPN app on your streaming device. You can authenticate through your provider but it works just fine.

So it looks like DirecTV, Dish, Midco, Cable One, DirecTV Now, Sling Orange, and PlayStation Vue has it.

Jeremy Jorgenson said on TV they are trying to get it on ESPN College extra too.

Anyone know if it will be on NDSU All Access?

I would rather listen to Fran Drescher and Gilbert Gottfried get into a screaming match about which Kardashian has more talent than listen to Lee Timmerman any longer.

We could only hope so.

Serious note: Hats off to KVLY for providing us the coverage that they do. They have brought a huge amount of attention to that program. I travel the ND and western MN area a lot during the winter months attending large trade venues. The number of people over age 65 wearing Bison green is amazing. To be able to view most every single game they played the past few years has been awesome and I thank KVLY for that, as we all should. Even though we occasionally watch a guy eating a hotdog in the stands while our running back is tromping down the sidelines for a TD!!!!:facepalm2:

788-793. If it still says "To Be Announced", they don't usually assign the channel until sometime on Thursdays.

The Bison game is live on DIRECTV channel 790. It is one of the ESPN College Extra games on Saturday. Other games televised are UNI @ SDSU on channel 793 and IS Blue @ USD on channel 794.

Robbie Grimsley was playing bass, Tre on drums, Wimbush had the flute and Hendricks was on cowbell.

That is an understatement! The commentator so overused "imposing their will", "blue collar", and 'guins that I nearly turned the sound off. My favorite oops was the first YSU field goal where they called the Penguin kicker by name, "Cam Pederson".

I always figured Timmerman just gets paid $5 each time he says North Dakota Mutual Insurance during a replay because the graphic animation isn't obvious enough.

Here is my question... Are there folks that still think regular TV is for TV will be viewed in future? Numerous Tweets complailing on feed where likely user issues. I had no series issues and watch every game on ESPN3.

I suspect the issue for the complaints was buffering. I started watching on my LG Smart TV using the web browser and it wasn't pretty.

Switched to IPad and had no issues.

No one has ever said before they would rather have Timmerman vs a different announcer. You just gave away your screen name Lee.

Having this game only on ESPN3/college extra sucked. Had to listen on am station out of Williston. Signal got weaker as sun went down. I felt like I was listening to FDR's WWII radio side chats as I tried to understand Jeff and Phil through the static. The martini tasted good, though.

Well there is this one guy who lives in a concrete bunker in West Fargo and he can't get cell service, tv, internet, radio, and I don't even think they can get the poor guy a newspaper because they forgot to put windows or doors in his apartment but hey now you know how he feels every Saturday.

It's actually kind of amazing that he was even able to post his experience on bisonville but he must have been at his mom's house that day.

I had my computer hardwired to my router which I get 70-75 mbps on and I was getting a lot of buffering issues. One time it just went to stills about 40 secs apart. Closing and restarting the feed worked the best. 2nd half had minimal feed issues. Just wish wouldn't be so much redoing to get it to work, but hey don't have to watch on early 90s style SD.... how did we ever accept that as okay?! [emoji3] pretty soon we'll be tweeting players that they need to blow the boogers out of their nose.
