Time again for Griz fans to step up to the plate and lead the way against this total disrespect of FCS by ESPN. Get on Facebook and like the page above and share it. Send some emails, tweets, or whatever to anyone one in any FCS university who can help out. Send some emails/texts to ESPN, our Senators and Representative. One day ESPN just might figure out there is more to "college football" than FBS...

In the West for example, our rural nature dictates that a large number of Griz/Cat fans cannot access ESPN3 online because their ISP doesn't carry it. We went through this two years ago. It is time for this crap to end. NDSU has supported our grassroots effort to get ESPN to allow local/regional stations to carry the first two rounds of playoffs. By NCAA rules ESPN has TV rights but if they do not choose to exercise those rights then local/regional can broadcast those games. And, by the way, ESPN3 is not TV but is internet streaming video and does not qualify under the NCAA broadcast guidelines... different set of rules altogether.... Come on eGrizers... time to step up to the plate...

I'm not sure insulting Espn is the best way to get the support. Espn does a lot for the fcs that we never got to have. A lot of pub in the playoffs that never existed, some very cool games we never would have gotten to play.I want these games televised but Espn does seem to support the fcs and insulting them by the e$pn thing is rude. Not to mention what they are trying to do with the ndsu,um future games. They even took gameday to ndsu... I thanked Espn in an email for the support of fcs football but I requested that we were able to broadcast our games not on a major Espn network by our local affiliate. As unfortunatly not everyone in Montana can get Espn 3 and its one of the most important events to our state.

1. WatchESPN requires Flash Player 10.3 or higher. We recommend version 11+ for the best viewing experience. Free upgrades are available from Adobe: http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

You might want to check again....
Can't here in Missoula on Charter...
 
Live in Great Falls. Per Charter/Optimum here, you are to plug the ethernet from router directly into device you are going to watch the game on. Not convenient but may be an option for those not able to watch using another option.

That's weird GE as I've been watching it all week up here. No buffering. It's awesome
 
Here's some information for people who would like to watch the ESPN3 games on their big TV from their laptops/tablets and such.

You just need what they call a "Gold" xbox live "membership". If you can play the online multiplayer games you should already have this. Then to go to the applications (can be found at home screen of xbox) search/browse the apps and ESPN should be one of them. Download it (I think you need email and password attached to xbox) and once ESPN is downloaded you can go the app and search available games. Pretty easy if you already have xbox live membership. You can purchase this online or go to gamestop to obtain the membership (if you don't like having credit card info online) and paypal via xbox is available as well. Can buy a 1 or 3 month membership or 1 year. Per gamestop the 3 month is on sale for 14.99 right now. I figured it out and I don't play xbox so you should be able to do it relatively easily and can then watch on TV which is nice. Any questions let me know I might be able to help you.

Wait, so this works independently of my ISP/cable? If so, that will make my day!! Our kids have an xbox and a gold live membership....got my kid checking it out now to see if it will work.
 
Checked it out with the xbox and it still doesn't work for us because we don't have a listed provider. Guess it's old school for me and listening to the radio feed.
