Well done. Thanks to all who got this deal done.

You know what this means,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, who wants to get together to watch the game???? Panini's??????????????????? I'll make the Announcement on Facebook

[Captain Kangaroo]

I wonder if it will be on the Direct TV sports package?

[bobbyake]

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

[ZachTheZip]

Woohoo!

[bobbyake]

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

[zipseuph]

does anyone know if we get that channel on university TV?

[Valpo Zip]

Yess ! best news i heard today.

[UAFan52]

How great is it, that the first 3 games of this season have been televised this year. Man this awesome, I hope they keep this up, it would be great to see the majority of there games on tv.. THis is a great time to be a Zips fan

[RowdyZip]

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.

[zippyrifle32]

what about bw3's? and does pints allow those of us under 21 in? i just need to find a place to watch.

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!

[bobbyake]

well, that leaves the question, where are we going to watch the game at??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[bobbyake]

I was just informed that the Panini's in downtown Akron uses Time Warner Cable, so Panini's it is.

[gozips311]

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!

[bobbyake]

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.

Yes. I emailed him this morning. I'll post when he replys.

[bobbyake]

Dr Z, good job with the email. Come to Panini's and I'll buy you a beer.

[Dr Z]

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.

[zff]

Nice work DR. Z!!!!!! Now could you work on the ABJ.
