Where are the gurus that post free sites to the games so I don't have to get another damn membership? These games used to be FREE and all of them televised

Check BTN2GO at tip, they might be on there. If not, wait a few hours until the replay is posted.

You are not entitled to free basketball.
 
The problem with your other sites that show the games, usually they are loaded with viruses and spam ware.

Last year I tried it and I got slammed with a virus on a new Macbook. Had to take it in, and this year I am just paying the 10 bucks. I mean you get 5 games total for 10 bucks.

Also I can stream it through my TV, so I don't have to watch on my little computer screen.
 
Sounds like a groovy plan! Wanna donate $10? I'm very poor and wanna watch the hawkeyes

If you managed to somehow post to this board, my guess is you can find the $10 to watch 5 games. I want free too, but then again I'd like to be 6-4 and to have played major league baseball. Reality is different.

BTN+ for 5 games, at $2 per game is a good tradeoff.

Are we positive that we won't have to pay for another month for the 5th game?

I thought Macs didn't get viruses? :D:D:D

I'm not positive of much other than I'm old and overweight. But my plan is to buy a month today prior to the tip of the Regis game, keep the subscription through the 12/3 game against Omaha, and then cancel the service once the game is over. Did a month last year and was able to cancel no problem.
 
If your cable subscription includes BTN do you still need to buy BTN plus?
 
Just remember to uncheck the auto renewal box if you don't want them to keep charging you every month....
 
A similar question. I signed up for BTN2Go. Now, that means I ONLY get the Iowa games not on cable, right? So, suggestions since I stream almost everything, how can I, can I, get the rest of the Iowa games now that I've taken care of these few?

I am poor. Yes I can handle $10.00 for a month. But the $100+ for cable? I suspect I'll be watching somewhere besides at home....but, worth the question, right? Don't hurt me.

Another question. Takes me back to the 1970's. Is there a link anyone can provide to stream a radio station that covers the games (I want Bobby!!!!) if the video thing is a no go?

I can handle audio only. It was a lot better than watching the games through a ticker tape machine in the old days. :) "Iowa running STOP driving into the lane STOP They......score!"

This site links all stations on the Iowa Hawkeye radio network. Warning: it can be hit or miss. In the past I have attempted to ulitlize the linked stations to listen to a on-line broadcast - not all stations provide on-line broadcasts and some don't carry every game. That's been my experience.

Bobby Hanson is gold but you miss a lot of action listening to Dolphin talk about something else. He was talking over game action one game last year and literally missed baskets on both ends ... you could hear the crowd roar ..... (wondering what happened) ....he kept talking....... another crowd roar ..... a few more seconds of talking ... then he says "so the teams trade baskets and here we go with Gesell at midcourt......" No details, nothing. Its maddening at times

Question I just got big10+ for the 10 dollars. Can you pause the game for whatever length of time and watch later? or will they have a replay? 2ndly please tell me the video feed will be crisper then it is on ESPN3 if not i can make do for 3 or 4 games.
 
Take a $20 out of your wife's purse, drive to a local sports bar that has the subscription, watch the Hawkeyes while drinking beer on your wife's dime (remember to text her at Halftime that helping your bother fix his toilet is taking longer than you thought), celebrate the win while swigging your last beer, grab a couple cheap burgers with the rest of the money (drink responsibility!) on your way home, stop your car a couple blocks from home -get out and switch to the crumpled up and dirty t-shirt, drive home, walk in the house, grab a beer from the fridge and complain to your wife about the toiler repair job.

There is no down side to the plan and no guilt involved. If you get caught, you're exposed as a thief and a liar .....but she already knew that and has accepted that about you. If you don't get caught, you are ingenious and a man who finds a way to get what he wants..... and that's why she married you in the first place

I just did a chat with them and she said the replay is available right away after the game is over and there should be no delay after the game ends. I would assume if you are watching the recording of the game you ca pause it. I had asked her if the games are stored for me to view later because I cant watch the game live tonight. She said it should be no problem to view the game online right after the game ends. .

I got no wife, which is weird but I had two so maybe that's why I'm poor. :) Anyway, I think I'll go the buddy route, buy a 12 pack and visit during games.

Pretty workman like game. A couple observations I noticed:

1. Cook is for real, the kid has a quick low post spin and is very physical
2. Pemsl surprised me, very good player on the pick n roll.
3. Jones struggled tonight
4. Guard play is gonna be a battle. Both Bohannon and williams had their moments.
5. Jok is gonna be our leader and score TONS of points.

I'm not convinced Jones is 100% yet.
 
Defense was terrible. Cook scored all his points on dunks and free throws. Never took a shot more that 3 feet from the hoop. Other than Jok, no outside shooting at all. Bohannon made one as I recall. Williams made a few offensive moves but the rest of the team was not noticeable. Too many players involved and Ellingson(sp) and Kreiner(sp) didn't even play. Gonna take all the pre-season games to get these guys organized.
 
Stopped using them because those sites like frontrowsports are the absolute worst for getting your computer all effed up with spyware and viruses. non stop popup crap, it's the worst
 
I fear this season we are gonna be playing teams 2 on 5.

Jok and Cook vs everybody else.

Let's face it, who else on this roster would scare you?

After reading the post above, I am beginning to fear this may be a LOOOONG season.

Its one game. I mean the #4 team in the nation last year lost to Augustana Div 2 team last year. So last night really didn't paint the full picture. I think Cook & Jok are going to be our two consistent players. I think they will lead us in scoring. Teams will scout those two and load up on them. Which means the opportunities are there for other players. Now who is it gonna be?

Iowa always needs that 3rd & 4th option. I think this year it will be different every game. I think some nights Baer will go off and Uhl could too. Jones also can light it up in a hurry, but is very inconsistent. The freshman if they can come in and pitch in 4-5pts a piece we will be alright. Bohannon showed he can shoot it. Also I think that Pemsl will be a good one. He shows glimpses of hope.

The one glaring issue last night was the defense. A lot of slow lateral movement and the other team seemed like they were able to drive right past out players. need to play better defense.

Its one game, no need to worry. Got a few more warm-up games for the hawks.

Maybe not this year yet, but later in his career I think Pemsl could be a matchup nightmare for people at the high post against the zone.
