Is the MAC Digital Network a pay service, or will this game be free?

Free. I've watched a number of games this year on it.

And bad, I think College Football has been having decreasing attendance because of ticket price and the access to it on major t.v. channels.

Then lower ticket prices.  Supply and demand.  You clearly didn't have Jan Palmer.

Are games archived on the MAC Digital Network or just live streamed?  I'll be traveling during the game but am interested in watching it later if possible.  Thanks

This is a big game.  A loss and I'll be pretty cynical that we are no different than we always are, a decent 10-6ish MAC team that just can't win on the road.  A win and I'll have my sights set squarely on that MAC Regular season title.

Andrew, you are spot on.  This team needs to step up and begin to win some road games to seperate themselves from the rest of the MAC.   I see Ohio and Akron as the two teams to beat, with Western, Kent and maybe Toledo, Central being competitive.  Protect your house and homecourt,  then  split on the road.
For what it is worth, Ohio has played probably the best 4 halves of basketball that I have seen in many moons.
Yes, they were at home, and yes, we are better than the two teams we smashed.  I still liked what I saw.  Coop is playing his best basketball...taking better care of the basketball, better shot selection, playing hard defensively.  The work that J.C. and his staff are doing daily with Reggie and Ivo seems to be helping our inside game.  Both guys have finished some plays at the rim with encouraging results!!   Now......can we make sure that all the good things we have seen make the trip to Western ??  That is the hard part !  Big game on Saturday with a team that will be somewhat desperate after the butt kicking they got from the Zippies!

That's the first thing I think of when someone mentions Jan Palmer, or even economics for that matter.

Heading to K-Zoo tomorrow to check another MAC arena off the list.

We're a 7.5 point favorite. I'm hoping Vegas is right, and they often are.

Everybody execute to their role and we should whip 'em. I think they think they have a strong shot at us - we have not had much luck up there. Need a strong start - and play strong full 40 munites.

to the WMU video producer that thinks its a good idea to show the game from a camera under the basket on zoom so we can't see any O or D set ups- I want to punch you in the face so bad right now.

Got some strong minutes out of Green there which was nice to see. We will need him at some point again in MAC play when our big men get in foul trouble.
