GoZips88 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong but I just found this on Creighton's web site ...Video WebCast Available for Thursday's NIT GameNot sure I understand how Creighton is able to offer a WebCast of the game when Akron is not allowed to stream it's audio due to ESPN contract rights. Also don't know how well the video streams but it's probably worth a shot for $6.95. Seems like I spent that much driving around or sitting with the engine running to stay warm listening to last night's game on 1350AM (what a suckhole station). Quote

Bleacher Bum Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 If you purchase the video, is there audio with it or do you have to have their radio station as a simulcast? I'm not looking forward to watching a game without sound like the Akron/Nevada game at Panini's. Anyone wanna throw down a few bucks and get together to watch the game? Actually, keep this on the d/l, but I recall watching the Akron/Purdue football game on ESPN360 in a lecture hall on a projector. Anyone wanna try to set this up? Quote
