Husker_x Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hey all, I'm going to be living in Iowa City by next Saturday and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find out if the game will be on over there. The info I've got is that it's and ABC regional telecast, but I don't know if they'd be showing a Big 10 game over in those waters. I might be making a piglrimage elsewhere if I can't get it, but I'd rather not, if you know what I mean. Here's to Sept. 1––the resurgance of Husker football, and the shutting up of OmahaPoohBear. And USC must be razed to the ground. >>>>>>>Coverage Map <<<<<<< Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I live in central Iowa, and usually when Nebraska is on ABC regional coverage, the coverage area splits right down the middle of the state. So i'd say Iowa City probably won't be seeing it.. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yeah IC rarely has Big XII games unless you go some place that has a bunch of different games on... You'll most likely get stuck watching Big Ten games... Speaking of that game... anybody know if I can catch it here in AZ?? Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Typically ABC releases coverage maps a few days before game day. Check to see if you'll be in the area, but my guess is you'll be watching a Big Ten/Big East game. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I would hope Iowa would have it. It's regional ABC as many people have already said. Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I would hope Iowa would have it. It's regional ABC as many people have already said. Wash U vs Wisc will dominate half of the states coverage. Iowa is considered more of a Big Ten state, that's why it might not be on. Quote Link to comment
nickmcd63 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Anyone know if Minnesota will get it?? i am assuming we will unless Wisconsin is on at the same time Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hey all, I'm going to be living in Iowa City by next Saturday and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find out if the game will be on over there. The info I've got is that it's and ABC regional telecast, but I don't know if they'd be showing a Big 10 game over in those waters. I might be making a piglrimage elsewhere if I can't get it, but I'd rather not, if you know what I mean. Here's to Sept. 1––the resurgance of Husker football, and the shutting up of OmahaPoohBear. And USC must be razed to the ground. My advice? Don't f'ing move there! You're doomed! My buddy in Des Moines is always complaining about the Big 10 always being picked up...so ya better get used to it. You may have to look into getting the Gameplan package...I think ABC games that are out-of-region get picked up on this, but don't quote me on that. Nevada and Colorado are probably gonna be your biggest disappointments. USC should be the National game, so it'll get shown everywhere. Depending on what other Big 10 games are going on at the same time as the NU/CU game...hard to say. I know this feeling...Used to live in Denver, love the Colorado Avalanche...now you can't get them here since they switched to Altitude Sports...Hell, even the NHL Center Ice package blocks them out here...it's absurd, like I'm going to drive 500 miles to go to an Avs game since it isn't on TV. And they're always sold out anyway! I want to meet the lunatic that thought that this was a good idea. Quote Link to comment
HuskerT Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I live in CA so obviously if I want to watch anything other than USC, I have to order the espn gameplan. It's pretty cool though because you get all the games in all regions. The SC game on Sep. 1st, isn't on abc so you don't have to worry about it being the national game. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I live in Des Moines and the only husker game i missed last year was Nichols State. Which i believe wasnt televised anyway. If i remember right, most big 12 games are shown on fox sports midwest or comcast unless it is a really big game then it will be nationally televised, and big 10 is usually on abc or espn. I would wait and see when you get there, but from what i remember last year the coverage maps usually included all of iowa for the NU games. Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Yeah IC rarely has Big XII games unless you go some place that has a bunch of different games on... You'll most likely get stuck watching Big Ten games... Speaking of that game... anybody know if I can catch it here in AZ?? there's a lot of husker bars throughout AZ, especially in the phoenix area. That's what i did when i lived in Chandler. There used to be a website that listed a bunch of them, but i don't remember the address anymore. Try searching on the internet, maybe you can find it.

bethelbacker Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Anyone know if Minnesota will get it?? i am assuming we will unless Wisconsin is on at the same time Having lived in MN the past 8 years, I assure you that you will be watching a big 10 game. If you are in the twin cities, the best thing to do is look up Joe Senser's Bar and Grill. They have 4 locations in the metro (the best being in Bloomington), and they always make sure they carry Nebraska games (since the Minnesotans for Nebraska pay them to). Great game atmosphere. But yea, it wont be on regular programming. Stupid Big 10. Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 GSG5545, i found this website. it only has a couple but it's better than nothing: http://www.az4ne.com/AZ-4-NE-2007-Game-Sites.html Sluggo’s Sports Grill 480-844-8448 161 N Centennial Way/ Main Street Mesa, AZ Arena Sports Grill 480-948-0008 6245 E Bell Road. Scottsdale, AZ Fox and Hound tends to have them a lot of times too i believe. Quote Link to comment
SOCALHUSKER Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Pretty much every bar you walk into has ESPN Gameplan or the equivalent. This shows all ABC regions and ESPN games so anytime the Huskers play on ABC, the game is on Gameplan. Unless you're in the local B****** market, and that just means you don't need Gameplan to begin with. Anyways, just ask the TV guru at the bar to put the Husker game on and unless he or she's a jackass, or you don't ask nicely, they'll usually do it for you!! Make sure to tip them well if they do!!!
