We better win after I spent money on flights , hotels, etc. Best birthday gift EMU football could give me.

The game is listed on my DirecTV guide on NESN+. Whether the game gets blacked out in my area, TBD.

BTW, I have been a DirecTV viewer for over 25 years (as long as I've owned my house). DirecTV overs virtually unlimited sports in their packages.

If you have a chance, stop by Lot 11 where there is a small green strip 1/3 the way in. Almost all of the tailgate group of 10 will not be there due to COVID concerns. Amherst has the highest rate in Western Mass for towns over 10k. One or two will be there out of 10. There is another couple that I hang. Good luck, hope for no more injuries and a close competitive game.

Flosports is $19.99 per month. What a crock of sh!t. If I buy it better be the best live stream possible.

Maybe someone with UMass knows, but who does the production? Will it be done in house by UMass personnel? Is it comparable to our ESPN3 productions?

As folks have been discussing on the main MAC board, being a 'partner' with ESPN is big for those conferences who have media deals and a negative for those who don't (e.g. C-USA) and a problem for independents.

Yeah not seeing a free trial option sucks.

Gonna be a 89.1 WEMU day for me

Sorry as do not know as go to the games and have both NESN and NESN+ on my cable. The production seems to be flosports, not the best. This is the last year of the flosports contract.

Thanks.

Unless it is blacked out, outside of N.E., I will get it on DirecTV. If I get it I won't complain. Mom always told me: "You get what you pay for." I'm paying $0.00 for the game.

Hope you will able to see the game emu_steve. Car packed up and need to get my a$$ in gear, till tonight for comments on the game, take care.

PS. Best health snack at the game are apples, very good for $1.

Should be a 30 point win, but Creighton will find a way to keep it close.

I wasn’t going to post it, but I agree! When's the last time Eastern Michigan was a 22 point road favorite? I'm predicting 38-21! But, we need to dominate! UMass and Akron are currently the worst 2 D1 programs! This's the start to a 8 win season!

im not sure itll be close - but id be surprised if we covered. CC doesnt run up the score. I see a quick lead followed by a LOT of running the ball.

UMass has their top 2 NTs out with injury. I hope we take advantage and dominate in the trenches. I won't throw a number out but I hope we win comfortably.
