bobbyake Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 before I post this, I need to find out if Panini's has Time Warner Cable,,,,,,,, I don't think Johnny Malloy's does because they had ESPNU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyake Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I made the event but didn't send out any invitations because I want to make sure this time that Panini's will actually have the game on. I messaged someone that worked there to find out. So if they will have the game on, Panini's it is. can't pass up $1 drafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Paninis has direct tv. I know this because of the fight we had with them over audio while their nfl pass was installed. Try pints on exchange, they have twc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Watcher Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey Dr. Z!Any chance you could drop your buddy @ TWC a note and ask if it's going to be shown to ALL TWC customers in NEOH, or just the immediate Akron area.How about those of us that were Adelphia (Suburban Cleveland) and were just acquired by TWC? Are we getting some love too? They've got a local access / information channel, it's just not 23 .. I think it's 15 or 17.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 well, that leaves the question, where are we going to watch the game at?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I was just informed that the Panini's in downtown Akron uses Time Warner Cable, so Panini's it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozips311 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 OSU plays at 12, good luck getting them to change the sound over to the Akron game. I'll be watching from the comfort of my couch. This is great news though. Go Zips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 When OSU played NIU while Akron played Penn State, both at 3:30, there was maybe no more than 4 OSU fans there. They had planned on putting the OSU game's sound on and had it on most TV's until I regulated on them. I got my way after bitching to the manager and they turned the Akron game on almost every tv and had the sound up really loud. Soooooo,,,, there's a good chance that there wont be a lot of people there for OSU at 12:00, and if we can get at least 20 + people to go to Panini's we shouldn't have a problem.

Dr Z Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey Dr. Z!Any chance you could drop your buddy @ TWC a note and ask if it's going to be shown to ALL TWC customers in NEOH, or just the immediate Akron area.Yes.

Dr Z Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Here is an update email from my new friend at Time Warner.Just goes to show what a few emails can do (unless it's the BJ)--------------------------------Dr Z,I was out yesterday, but I wanted to get back to you. First, I apologize for not getting the first half of the game on. There was a problem with satellite reception on our end. Second, I want to thank you for offering up the idea in the first place. YOU are responsible for us working to get the game (at least the second half) on local cable. THanks very much.-- Bill--------------------------------No disrespect to anyone at the university that worked on this. I'm sure he was just being nice.
