RUMOR ALERT
On AGS it is being reported that the MSU@ASU game will be the game broadcast on ESPN2. I believe game time is 2:00 Mtn.

I think it is official, the ASU athletics website is reporting that MSU-App. St. will play at 4:00 eastern on ESPN2!!!!!!!!
Too bad it couldn't be at Bobcat Stadium, but it will sure be cool seeing the Cats play on ESPN! The announcers for the JMU-Youngstown game weren't too bad even(I only saw the fourth quarter).

I thought this was the case. I also think the Griz game will be on at 12:30 MST on Altitude.
We're already adjusting Saturday babysitter plans. Shopping in the morning, a movie at 11am, and I'm at a sports bar by Washington Square at 1:15.
Go 'Cats!!

Where did you see that regarding Altitude? I thought ESPN and their gameplan had the rights? I think we have the night game actually.

Altitude has a game on the DirectTV guide for 11:30am PST next Saturday. It says "1-AA quarterfinal game:TBA" in the info for the program. Maybe it's wrong, I don't know, but it's there.

Almost every basic cable package has espn2, I would be very suprised if there wasn't a bar in the Kalispell area that doesn't have it.

Doug Graber, our 82 coach will do the color for ESPN. He was the last coach to have any success at Rutgers before this year.

Is the game in HD?

If you're in Billings and you use Bresnan, no.
ESPN shoots and broadcasts in high def, but not the Deuce. KTVQ broadcasts in high def. I've watched some Griz games on the high def channel but it still looks like crap since it wasn't shot in high def.

There is ESPN 2 HD but doesn't mean every game they broadcast is in HD. Sometimes they are and sometimes not. Anybody know if the Youngstown game was in HD?

Are you talking about just in Billings? Because most live events on ESPN2 are in HD. I would be surprised if our game wasn't HD.

ESPN's listings say the game will be on ESPN2 HD.

I have Dish. Some games on regular ESPN HD are not HD and the same goes with the ESPN2 and it is usually the no name teams that are not in HD. We would probably fall into that catagory in this case.

I don't doubt the veracity of that statement. However, ESPN2 is not part of Bresnan's (in Billings, anyway) high def offerings. That may be different in other markets.
I'd have a total chubby if I got to watch the game in 1080i high def, but I'm not counting on it. Still, 42" plasma ain't too shabby.

Who has the best TV in the Bozeman area to watch a game. I'll probably just watch in my living room, but if I go out-where to?

The Hideaway recently bought some very nice flat-screen HDTVs. They have the best big screen in town, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
