Totally disgusted with the new media outlet
Considering i'm a faithful alumni and out of state, I've been watching the games online for many years now. Just found out today that MSU has gone to some SideArm media to stream the games and it's blacked out in my area (Northern Wyoming) and I don't have cable. This never happened with Big Sky TV!! Can't tell you had peeved I am that MSU didn't figure this one out! Was this to make money?? What's the point??
What a joke MSU!!
Sincerely,
MSU alumni

Usually I am fired up for the Cat season but two weeks in a row of no broadcast.
Way to screw your alum out of Montana.

Write letters make calls let them know it sucks. I'm sure it wasn't intentional

I can't get the game either. What a joke.

Didn't mean to sound like a dick. Just make sure the AD hears complaints loud and clear

There is a way around the blackout. You have to install a VPN - which is free. And, then you can go to the site and watch the video. MSU is charging $7.99 for an all day pass. Anyone interested in the info?

Just got home from the Oregon/Wyoming game. Does anybody have a legitimate stream to the Bobcat game?

Edit - wait, I need to pay $8 to watch one quarter of football? Guess I'll use the audio feed. Who is the marketing wiz that came up with this nonsense?

Even worse that they blacked the game out in eastern MT/Wyoming - forcing those that want to see it to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) - free and easy to do but shouldn't be necessary.

Re: Totally disgusted with the new media outlet
That's ridiculous. I expect to need to search for MSU games on the west coast, but blacking it out in what seems to be a 200-mile radius?

Re: Totally disgusted with the new media outlet
Yep, really dumb - what's the point of blacking out an online stream? To make less revenue?PapaG wrote:That's ridiculous.

I will be writing and calling the AD's office next week. I'll post up what I find out.

Seriously, email Waded Cruzado at president@msu.edu.
She reads her emails and has responded to me twice. Include your name, degree and year graduated.
I most recently emailed her to oppose the student housing south if campus and she wrote me back personally.

Re: Totally disgusted with the new media outlet
I'm not sure exactly where the cut off point is, but I have a friend in Fromberg who told me the game was blacked out for him. I think that is only 45 miles from Billings.
