With the new additions to the Big Ten conference...

[Gopher07]

How will your viewing habits change?

 

[4four4]

Not at all.

 

[Dr.Don]

Gophers completely, other games check in and out.

 

[RailBaronYarr]

Voted for less. As it stands now I don't watch uninteresting matchups, and with the divisions larger and more disparate I will have no interest in watching an Indiana-Maryland game whereas the Indiana-Northwestern type of game it replaced would have been of interest to me.

 

[dlw4gophers]

I don't know. A Indiana , Maryland basketball game seems interesting to me.

 

[wait!what?]

this will be the same as the ol baseball AL East and AL West. to me it is still the brewers/yanks/bos/cleve etc.

 

[tmvander]

It just ticks me off that if they Gophers are playing Iowa in football on BTN and I have cable in Fargo I can't watch it because BTN isn't available on cable here. However, people in Baltimore who have cable will get to watch it.

I understand the expansion for money but come on expand over the Red River!

or get on your cable company. who is the idiot cable company up there that doesn't carry BTN or give you access to it? sounds like they are not carrying it more out of spite than because of demographics. i guarantee there are many, many people in northwestern minnesota and parts of north dakota that want to be able to watch the gophers on BTN.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Fargo cable company does not include northwestern minnesota and other parts of north dakota.

Let's see what the Fargo guy says he has for a cable company. I don't feel like looking it up.

 

[HopherGole]

I absolutely hate the addition of these two team that couldn't be further away from the midwest. However it won't change my viewing habits. I'll only watch their games if the gophers aren't playing or the outcome of their game will effect us somehow.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

The cable company in fargo is CableOne I believe.... and they are garbage. Best off with satellite up their in the boonies.

As far as my viewing habits. On saturday the TV is tuned to Big10 football as long as I'm home (pending huge marquee matchup in other conferences), so it's going to stay the same. I don't care who is playing. If I'm home, it's on my TV.

Briarwood
Dilworth

The point I was trying to make is; what they offer in Dillworth and Moorhead may not be the same as what they offer in Fargo. Unless of course you run a coax cable across the river.

It is one and the same. We do have bridges and hi line poles up here, ya know.

Has anyone that doesn't get btn ever thought if getting a sling box or similar device and leaching off a friend or family member?

I have a Slingbox hooked up at my dad's house to get my Chicago sports fix. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Yeah I had CableOne and there wasn't a package that had the BTN. It sucked having to go out or go to friends places with DirectTV to watch the Gophers. I cut cable back in March just because of the no BTN so things could have changed since then but I doubt it.

This is how I survived my two years in Fargo.

 

[gopherhoopsguy]

I am super excited with the additions to the big ten. What i am worried about is less basketball and football games on the BTN if we at more teams.

don't be surprised to see a BTN2 channel started and offered up soon. i have been hearing about the possibility of this for a while. i think BTN2 and expansion of the conference are one in the same.
