    Dish Network won't air CFB on FS1 incl. NDSU game

    And what is your limit before you could not pay the cost, or do you have unlimited funds. There is a reason why you pay more for Direct TV and get usually less for it. Some people would be taken to the cleaners before they wise up. I suppose Fox needs the extra money and so many are willing...

    Dish Network won't air CFB on FS1 incl. NDSU game

    Fox Sports 1 on Dish will not air the ISU/NDSU game saturday Yep, Fox wants more money from Dish to broadcast the game, Dish says no (I for one agree), so it will now be blacked out. Fox needs to make such decisions sooner than five days before game time, when it has been on the schedule for...

    ISU 24 NDSU 17...........Wish Fox Sports 1 on Dish didn't block the game, but Fox wants more money from Dish......they're in a price dispute, so we lose.

    ***Official NDSU @ ISU Prediction thread***

    The only thing for sure is if you have Dish, you will not see the game on Fox Sports 1. Fox wants more money from Dish to air the game. I for one applaud Dish for their efforts to keep costs to their customers low and believe there is no end to Fox's attempts to increase rates to media outlets.

    I want to know who thought that was a charge.

    I fully agree with your comments......write on!

    Great close game

    It takes two good teams to make a great game, and ISU did their part in making this a great game. One year ago, ISU lost to Kentucky who went on to win the tournament, I hope OSU does the same, it isn't so bad when you lose to the tournament Champions. If Hoiberg stays, we may see a final four...

    Dealing with this Loss.

    Iowa State should be both disappointed and yet proud of the season, and playing OSU so very close. It was a bad call, but at least it was not one I felt was called by favoring OSU, he just missed it. Hopefully Hoiberg stays and we will get to the final four or beyond in the near future. Kudos...

    Sorry, I offended you, some cyclone fans can take a little criticism.

    Will you love it when they lose one of these? Hoiberg acts like he gets rollover timeouts that can be used in future games. These are not pros.

    *** OFFICIAL ISU-WVU Postgame Thread ***

    Coach Hoiberg once again waits for large leads to dissolve into very close games before taking a timeout when he has four to burn! Also there could easily have been a foul called after the last inbound pass by W.V. and just fortunate it was not called. A cannot imagine other coaches watching...

    THIS ONE IS ON FRED!!!

    We should have won this one, not only did we not foul when we should have, but more disturbing for myself is the coach not calling a timely time out until 2 minutes left in overtime and watching for three minutes his team steadily go down 10 points. Coaches are supposed to coach, calm them...

    A good team effort and both the team and coaching need to improve.

    That's Why You Foul

    I agree that is why you foul leading by three points, but where was any advantageous time out in overtime as well? Coaches are supposed to coach, calm them down, make a play, but do something other, than like the rest of us, watch three minutes pass and go down by ten.

    THIS ONE IS ON FRED!!!

    Some fans just cannot stand that Fred blew it on this one, regardless of his coaching skills and team preparation. He should have at least used a timeout before they got to a 10 point deficit. Call a play, calm them down, do something other than watch. Fans watch, coaches coach.

    Coach caught watching the game?

    Where was Hoiberg's time outs? With less than 2 minutes left in overtime and Iowa State steadily down 10 points, then comes the first timeout with 3 timeouts left? Amazing!!! The players needed the help that coaching can offer if they do not wait till the overtime is 3/5's over. Could not...
