kwyjibo Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I did not want to comment directly in the TV summary post in case someone wanted to use it as reference--so I did not spoil it with my thoughts. Anyway, earlier I was concerned about the number of TV games. It does appear that "Majerus-appeal" got us more respect from ESPN and CSTV during the conference schedule. This is a very good thing and I apologize for being somewhat skeptical (we were put on the ESPN schedules later than my initial post but it worked out with 2 games on ESPN/ESPN2). 5 conference games on "national TV" is excellent. The Rhode Island game was a late comer on the CSTV schedule and really tipped the balance in that CSTV has a healthier interest in SLU than last year. The non-conference TV schedule is a bit of a disappointment but I won't complain when the conference schedule is good. ESPNU and 1 regional sports game (which I may be blacked out of again but keep your fingers crossed!) are better than nothing. The conference tournament thing really irks me though. It does appear that the A-10 will try to sell games back to local TV but they will not be available nationally (CSTV will be showing C-USA and MWC games those days). The championship game will be on ESPN this year and that is a good move at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Only four road games? They should never televise a home game unless it's sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be more St. Louis local TV games. Thanks for the concise list. I'm also assuming more games will be on regional braodcasts or webcasts. I am assuming the BC game will be televised somewhere. Last year, I saw Pacific and Loyola (i think) on webcast. My hope is to see at least half of our non-conference games one way or another. But it will probably take some work. BTW, I saw this posted on the A-10 board, I think. I saved it awhile ago, so I'm hoping it still works. Just paste this into your web browser and you get CSTV. mms://a1729.l2168647534.c21686.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1729/21686/v0001/reflector:55585 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it also is listed on Direct TV Full Court but I didn't purchase it this year. Someone told me you maybe able to purchase and individual game. Has anyone who has Direst TV done this?

Box and Won Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 So no TV for the BC game? That's unfortunate. Would it be considered disrespectful if I were to listen to the Billiken game during childbirth class that evening? 'Cause I gotta be at one on the night of the BC game.

Tonka Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 What is the best option Dish or Direct TV?...I already have Dish but not with HD...Does Direct have more incentives? Big Al, Nice to see you posting. I have always enjoyed your posts. I can only speak from the DirecTV side of things since I have only had that and never Dish. However, I did thoroughly investigate both years ago when I first got satellite. At the time, there was no comparison between the two from a sports standpoint, but that was years ago and things could have changed. I do know 3 people that switched from Dish to DirecTV in the past 12 months when they went to Hi-Def and they went with DirecTV because of more sports options. So, take that for what it is.

There may be more St. Louis local TV games. I did a quick search of our opponents' TV schedules. The only games games scheduled to be televised to the home market of our opponent -- and not currently on the Billikens TV schedule -- are the two games with Dayton (1/12 and 1/30) and Charlotte (2/23.) All else equal, these games are the easiest to add to the schedule since TV production crews and financials are already in place. Have no idea if any of these make it to the final TV schedule but it is possible. Will be interesting to see if any other games are added.

kwyjibo Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I did a quick search of our opponents' TV schedules. I modified the TV summary above in response to Adman's comments. I have added CSTV produced games for "regional TV" and most probably the internets. He was right about the Dayton and Charlotte game (the other Dayton game may be just local Dayton produced) and I also added the home UMASS and Temple game. I cannot find any evidence that the Loyola game will be on TV anywhere.

My little girl is 11 weeks old. I hope to hell yours doesn't have colic. Nothing will drive you insane quicker. Colic = hell squared. Second, just push back the delivery by a couple of weeks and reschedule the class. On second thought, your wife would definitely kill you. You stand a better chance of surviving if you listen to the game during the class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is generally pretty accomodating when it comes to Billiken hoops, but that might send her over the edge! I may have to just sneak a radio into class. Unfortunately, when I listen on the radio, I tend to swear and yell and pace about. The good news is that she may have a case that goes to trial that week, and if it does, I'm home free!

I know it also is listed on Direct TV Full Court but I didn't purchase it this year. Someone told me you maybe able to purchase and individual game. Has anyone who has Direst TV done this? I've purchased Full Court and I'm reasonably sure that they don't allow individual purchases from the package. That was last year so their policy may have changed this year.
