Listening to PA with Lavell as guest this morning. Sometimes I swear PA with all his clowning around trying to be glib & cool…he’s like Monty played by Ryan Reynolds in the movie “Waiting”. Sometimes he’s so freaking annoying if I was Chad Abbott I’d tell him to knock it off, you’re not Mr. Cool…you’re a 50+ year old radio host with a uni-brow! 

This is the same way I feel about his play by play call. His fake over-enthusiasm is ridiculous and the idea that he’s one of the best PBP guys is ludicrous 

 

Seriously man why do you listen? You seem miserable. Are you listening solely to find something to complain about?

2 Sundays in a row there hasn’t been an article in the StarTribune about a Saturday night Gopher Hockey game.

Big10plus broadcast sucks, last night the sound kept going low and I had to keep turning up the sound on my tv, I know the radio broadcast is better but the broadcast is not timed correctly 

 

Aloha!

use the stream online through Gophersports, we had to pause it just a little to match the video.  The actual radio is super far ahead.

It will be interesting how successful this is or isn't.

I checked their website and it appears that you can get a streaming package to watch the Timber Wolves but not the Wild or Twins.  Sent them an email to find out if that is correct.

FanDuel responded that The Wild, Wolves. & Lynx are available to stream for $19.99 / month.  Currently the Twins won't be available but they are working on it.

Now that MLB is taking over the Twins broadcasts Fan Duel will have nothing to do with it.  It will all be through MLB.

Is there any correlation between Minnesota saying they wanted less games on BTN and BTN seemingly not showing any hockey games? There used to be Friday night double headers no matter who it was and now it’s always basketball.

Things will not pick up for a bit, but I believe they are showing more than ever this season.

I know we’ve given the local broadcasts a ton of crap on BTN+, but the Notre Dame broadcast was fantastic this weekend. Both announcers were very well versed in both teams. Maybe they knew a lot of Gopher fans would be watching, but they knew a lot about our players and where they came from/are going with the focus on here and now. A lot of bigger broadcasts (Bucci at ESPN) are really focused on the NHL for these players and forget they have a team right in front of them.

While our games on Peacock have sailed for this season if you’re interested in staying with them I got this email today. 

I presume it’s available to all if you go to their webpage.

I know Reusse is a lightning rod around here for some, but I always enjoy his Turkey of the Year column and this year he awarded the correct person.

I don’t listen to his radio call of Vikings games cause it’s over the top. If he was worth a crap he’d be doing network PBP. Hating on PA is a popular opinion. And if anyone on here seems miserable, you would be at the top of the list. Your obsession with relentlessly hating the NHL GM with the top team in the league makes me think you should try therapy so maybe have a seat.

I know, WTF right?  That’s almost a 14% increase.  I just got it 2 months ago.  I like YTTV, but it seems like the crappy internet at my house can’t keep up with it in the evenings.  It’s constantly freezing/buffering.  Combine that with the steep increase, and it’s probably time to cancel.

So with  the Gophers facing off at 7:30 and the Ugly helmets playing at the Badddgers at 5pm both games on BTN if the Ugly helmets game is not finished at 7:30 how do we get access to The Pride on ice game?

Aloha!

Very little chance of that. Most B1G games these days last just over 2 hours. Even with the majors and delays last Saturday, the game was 2:15. The OT game and shootout with Alaska was 2:09. So unless there is a major injury or broken zamboni delay in that game. It will end with spare time before our game starts.

That is the simple way to make sure you see a home game for most of the fans... Buy a ticket and go to the game.

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

I am trying to find another option as well.  But I feel like I am stuck with it now.  The picture quality is suspect at best (a ton of compression going on).  I don't have freezing or buffering, but it will drop from 720 to 240 pretty regularly.  I can stream Netflix at 1080 just fine, and even some 4K content without issue, but not always.

MediaCom(mies) does not do stand alone TV.  So their cheapest internet is 250mbps, which is slower than I have with CenturyLink right now.  Year one is $19.99/month for internet.  After year one it is $54.99per month.  Going with the next speed 500mbps (what I have with CenturyLink) would be $44.99 per month for one year, then up to $79.99 per month.  Their cheapest TV package is $88.05/month (and still no FanDuel Sports Network).  AND their internet has a max useage of 400 GB per month.  I will be buffered, and have to pay a fee if I exceed that.  (what is this?  early 2000s cell phone plans?)  Then they add a local boardcast station surcharge of $28.05, and a modem rental (not optional) fee of $14.00.

Plus the stupid cable box is only for one TV.  If I want it for the 2 other TVs I have, I would need to add $10 per month for each box ($20 per month total).

So ignoring taxes & fees, and my monthly bill is $142.02 per month.  Right now I pay CenturyLink $50 per month for 500mbps (using my own router), and YouTubeTV will be $90~ after taxes and fees, for a total of about $140/month.  But only for a Year.  Then everything jumps up.  The paperless billing discount says it expires after 1 year, add $10 a month.  And the internet rate jumps $35 a month.  So we are automatically jumping $45 a month after year one.  

MediaCom is going to be a hard NO for me.

 

DirecTV steaming is a minimum of $79.99 per month for Two years, but then you have to add a non-option $15 per month advanced receiver fee, and $7.99 regional sports network fee (includes Fan Duel Sports Networks).  Now we are at $102.98 per month.  This only includes one TV, additional "Gemini" devices add $7/month... But I think you can use an app with the Roku or similar devices.  After 2 years it jumps $10 per month to $89.99 then adding the other fees to $112.98.

So I could add FanDuelSportsNetwork and a few more channels for about $12 per month starting in January.  I might have to test the DirecTV streaming picture quality.  If it is decent, I might make that switch.

 

Hulu (with ads) +Live TV is the same cost of $82.99 per month.  Then it says it includes Disney+ and ESPN+.  Might be worth looking at that too. 

FUBO TV is either $79.99 per month or $89.99 per month depending on package.

Seems like YouTubeTV is just keeping up with the Joneses....

Hulu Live TV sucks...and they raise the price a lot.  I would recommend skipping that.

I have Sling and it is fine and the price is alright.  But I dont have the combined package I took the one without ESPN because I hate ESPN and never watch it. (but have methods too if needed)

It's the 2nd game of a TNT double header. Game also will be shown on Fan Duel Sports North.
