The only unfortunate part is having to deal with all of the Davidson stuff they will show, too.

Boz .. I have Fios and Its great .... the only thing I have to do is call and get all the HD channels for my TV .... but the internet service is also much better then Comcast .. over-all I'm content..... As far as MM goes .. I wish I would be able to get there ... but I'll have to settle on the feedback from the board and the small amount they'll show on ESPNU ... I'm excited for the season and can't seem to get away from my PC following both boards .. its addicting and the season hasn't even started yet! lol

I believe it was two years ago that they had it on the internet. That was a great chance for us in the hinterlands to see a MM event. Any chance they will have it this year too? I don't think they had it last year - just videos after the fact. I thought it was last year that I watched via the internet through GUHOYAS.com or something like that, but maybe it was two years ago. In any event, nope - looks like nothing this year. Probably because it is on ESPNU. Too bad half of the country doesn't get ESPNU. Ridiculous.

Can non-students get in to mm? No. That being the case, can anyone confirm if there will be a projection screen in the parking lot again like there was last year?

Can non-students get in to mm? No. I know people who are going to try but they're young alums with GOCards. If you aren't one of those, I wouldn't bother.

I guess I'll focus on the bright side of being 'older' - that I can buy (lots of) beer and watch espnu at my house. Gotta work on my tolerance level for the early Saturday games :-) Have a great time tonight!!!

Any news on who's unveiling Roy's NBA shirt tonight? Pat Jr.'s? I'm not sure that one officially counts yet.

I'm going to miss the ESPN U coverage. Is anyone planning on splicing the Hoya parts on Youtube? Or will it be posted on one of ESPN's websites? Hope one of those happens.
