The University of Wyoming has no say so about the tv. That goes for every team in the Mountain West Conference. CSTV who is now owned by CBS has full control over it. The MWC made a deal a couple of years back with CSTV who is paying the teams in the conference i think 110 million dollars over 10 years to be in control of TV schedules. So it is up to CSTV or CBS as to what games they want to televise. This is of course only for MWC teams home games as road games are up to the home team and whoever they are contracted with at the time. So if you have a complaint you need to get a hold of CBS as the University of Wyoming has no say so in it what so ever. Most of Wyoming's games are broadcast on "The Mountain" network which is available on direct tv but it looks like they have chose not to pick up the game , so you can contact them and if you get enough NDSU fans complaining about it something might come of it, highly unlikely but you never know. The tv deal has been a big pain in the butt for most teams and fans in the conference until they finally got this deal on direct tv.

What about video streaming? Does WY even to that and do they control it?

No , it is all controlled by CSTV/CBS . Because of the contract they are not allowed to control any of it.

That's what I thought.
 
The latest out of our preseason scrimmage in Fargo was that the Defense is looking very potent and may well be the best in a long time. However, the Offense did not look real sharp. Who knows how much you can take from a scrimmage, but Mertens, the new QB, probably needs some game time to put it together....
 
I know that USA Today had us at #2 in their top 25 and we were picked by the coaches in he Missouri Valley FB Conference to take the conerence.
 
Road still runs through Missoula! :) I usually pull for the Bison... except against Wyoming, and if they enter the Montana border. :)
 
I think the polls may have us overrated. Iam just very unsettled with the new QB and the offensive situation. They really do have the potential there, but from the practice and scrimage reports there is a lot of work to do.
 
Its tough to say this far out in front. Nobody even knows Wyomings QB until Friday. I think they are equally matched with the Pokes an 11 pt favorite.

Lots of good players on the Cowboys but a lot of doubters about Coach Glenn. He is on the hot seat. He does have his most experienced team yet. Even with that the Pokes are picked as a middle of the pack MWC team behind some very good nationally ranked squads led by BYU.

Its the 10th Anniversary of the MWC too!
 
This will not be a fun trip for the Bison. It will probably benefit them as their season wears on, and is likely to not do a whole lot for Wyoming as their season wears on.

You Bison visitors should enjoy the hard partying atmosphere of Laramie, and will get to see a stadium packed with loud enthusiastic fans.

Yes the altitude will be a factor. Ball will sail more, and visitors will find the oxygen on the rare side.

It could also be hot as hell, but pray for snow, the altitude effect is less pronounced on cold days. Either is possible.

Have fun all, wish I could make it. ;)

I hope you are right about the packed stadium...

Then look what happens. NDSU beats Minnesota, Central Michigan, Ball St.. hmmm... what a surprise it's happening again.

If I went to any other MWC board and bragged about those wins, I'd get laughed off the internet. A one win Minnesota team, a directional Michigan team (perenially an ESPN bottom 10 team nomatter how crappy the MAC was last year), and Ball St who until a few days ago I'd have sworn was a D-1AA or D-2 team.

Yeah, those MAC teams are terrible. Ohio Uni. (I had to look up who they were too :D ) gave you all you could handle and they were 4-4 in the MAC last year :lol: .

Oh yeah.
Bowling Green 27 vs #25 Pitt 17

umm...are you guys in the MAC?? oh wait... ur not

you need a big can of STFU! i'd bet south dakota state is gonna rape you guys again this year..
 
Saw that NDSU ripped Austin Peay a part with a passing attack.. not NDSU football, normally a running, smash mouth team. New offense this year for the Bison?

No, they were putting 8-9 guys in the box. Really sold out on the run. Pick your poison kind of thing.
 
If we lose to the Bison, I will have to shoot myself. Right now, we need to worry about Air Force, then use the prep week for BYU by putting the Bison in their place.
 
I watched the NDSU/AP game on the computer and was less than thrilled with the performance by the Bison. Yes, AP sold out to the run, but with the size of the NDSU O line, and the quality of our backs, we still should have been able to run better. It is not like AP is a playoff calibre ball team. To make matters worse, starting center Zack Harrington suffered an injury that will likely keep him from playing this week!

Our new QB, Nick Mertens, looked solid and I think he will be ready for the WYO game. The kid had some big shoes to fill and did so very well.

Our kickoff coverage was abysmal to absent. That has to improve or the Bison could wind up in trouble.

All in all a mixed outing for game one.......but then again, first games are first games.....This Bison fan is hoping game #2 is a little better........
 
Our game this saturday is yet another TUNEUP...

so time to get ready for Laramie.... You guys have NO idea what kind of excitement this bison team is going to bring to your house.

Mertens the QB 16-18 for 304 yards, are you kidding me??

Tyler Roehl hasnt even been let out of his cage yet, waiting for sept 13th.. just waiting...

Its going to be a destruction!!!
 
Congrats on your win over Austin Peay. Quite an accomplishment to rack up #s against a pretty bad team.
