This is the most important game of the season and we need to win period. We have 3 conference home games left and 2 of them beat us on our home floor last season so it is time for payback.Give Austin 20 or more minutes per game!!!!

After reading through their thread for Wednesday's game, I can't believe the lack of excitement/caring that their fans have. They seem to have completely given up on the season.

I think there is a portion of their fanbase that just wants Barry gone at any cost....so they are pretty much hoping that this team loses every game from here on out...

DC, are you sure it's going to be on BUBraves.TV? I just logged in and it wasn't listed. I just have a listing for the audio. This concerns me especially because Missouri State and Southern Ill. don't have online TV packages. I don't know why they aren't on board like the rest of the Valley. Again, the conference needs to model itself off of the Horizon League site. If they don't want to make it free, fine. But every game should be televised unless it is blacked out because of national television.

Everyone drive careful cuz it's lookin to be a nasty one out there at least thru Wednesday afternoon. Sure there'll still be a few slick spots Wednesday evening.

I do not have any reference that comfirms this. But early in the season, someone at BU told me all the home games that aren't on MVC network, or ESPN, would be on BUBraves.tv. I hope that's right, but I don't know for sure.

Missouri State center Drew Richards, who has missed the last 8 games because of mononucleosis, was cleared to begin practice, and also cleared to play 2 four minute stints against Bradley Wednesday.--

Another starter, Justin Fuehrmeyer, missed practice Monday with the flu, and his status for Wednesday's game is uncertain--

Missouri State is 11-12, but they are 1-10 on the road and on a 3 game losing streak.
We need to put them away early. Their message board is back on line

IMHO, I feel that none of the home games should be on tv (internet or local) unless we have an ESPN game. My reasoning is that it may get more fans to the arena to fill the seats...at least those who would rather not listen to the game on the radio...

And yes, this is from a fan who must drive 3 hours to all home games. Oh, and if it were up to me to fill out the schedule, could we get a 1 for 1 + neutral at the Scottrade w/ Mizzou...or a home and home w/ SLU...? That certainly would intrigue me

SLUbrave are you Bill Wirtz reincarnated?

I want every game on the tv or internet. Exposure is the greatest marketing tool available. Plus, I am selfish and want to see as many games as possible.

Maybe they can blackout games to local subscribers then like they do for baseball games...

I'm gathering you're that way since you can't get to the games here...

I just feel that sometimes ppl don't go to Carver if they can see the game on the tv or internet

Out of sight out of mind. A long time ago WGN used to televise all Cubs' and White Sox' home games. Then the new owners of the Sox decided to take them off. How'd that work?
