Hey 63, I don't post much anymore, but love the Buffs and share your frustration about not being able to get the PAC-12 Network (I have DirecTV). But here's one solution. You need a friend with Dish who has the "Hopper" and will allow you to share it. Then download DishAnywhere to your phone or tablet/iPad (its a free download) and simply logon through your internet provider and enjoy the game. I even ran an HDMI cable from my iPad to my HDTV and it will project to about a 46" HD picture which is more that satisfactory. One caution, you and your friend can't be on the Hopper at the same time. Good luck!
Back in the day a soldier had to be an E-6 and on his second enlistment to volunteer for SF. Also required endorsements from you C.O. and a spotless record. Don't know if that's changed or not today. Either way its a helluva of a challenge. Don't think I could make it again. My old knees are shot from too many jumps. "All the way!" Mister VK.
Agree. Take advantage of the attitude and ASU may be little flat after the doubt OT win over the Cats. Copy Nolan Richardson at Arkansas a few years back and unleash 40 minutes of hell.
It's stunning how a player's knee and future, and perhaps a team's psyche, can turn in an instant. I truly hope that Spencer will be ok. The young man has a tremendous upside and is a joy to watch. That said, it's really the next man up. For however long Dinwiddie may be out, Boyle must now find someone to run the point of what remains a very young team. Will be interesting to see who emerges as the "heart" leader on the floor as well. They still have the talent, now it will be interesting to see if they can find the will and confidence to overcome the loss of their leader. I still believe that Boyle will find a way adjust and keep this team competitive.
Here's another option. I won't give up my DirecTV...been happy with the service for years. Threaten to leave and they will give you incentives to stay. Then...find someone who has Dish; pitch in and get DishAnywhere and the PAC 12 network on that Dish system. Logon to that Dish account on your device connected to the internet and enjoy the Buffs on your device/PC or do what I did and connected my iPAD to my HDTV with an HDMI "dongle" cable and watch them in HDTV. Takes a few minutes to log on and set up; works great and much easier and cheaper than switching providers. Only problem I have is an occasional loss of the stream from my IP, but a quick refresh gets it back up, and only one user can be on the DishAnywhere system at the same time, but he has two TVs so never an issue. Perfectly legal. Good luck! Go Buffs!
I take your point, but a wet, funny shaped object skidding down a wet surface is not a printer, and can turn a well conditioned and coached athlete into a 5-legged dog. Sometimes, you just have to laugh.
Agree. It will take a lot of the former to obtain the latter. It's going to be an interesting camp.
Just this fan's .02 worth. I won't miss him. Yeah, he was in the chair when the PAC 12 door (re)opened, but CU was probably going to join regardless of who was AD. But he extended Hawkins when everything said that dog wasn't gonna hunt anymore, hired Embree for all the wrong reasons, dawdled around on finding his replaciment (sneaking people in and out the place behind food carts, etc.). He struck gold with Boyle proving that a blind hog can find an acorn if it keeps rooting aroung long enough, but with all coaching positions now pretty much locked in for the forseeable future, he needed to make something happen on funding the facilities upgrade and that just wasn't going well for him. The gang on the hill showed him the door. Too bad DiStephano isn't going with him.
It's seems that given the late hour of the announcement, Andre and his family studied this decision from all angles. This is his decision and certainly many factors went into it. There are no givens or certainties regardless of which why he decided to go. The young man, as well as his family, have been class acts. He gave CU three great years and has been instrumental in laying the foundation of a solid basketball program. In my opinion that is a helluva a legacy and we should celebrate what he has given the program and not lament his leaving. Good luck Dre and thanks for the ride.
