Last year, the Raiders also finished the regular season on the road, against fau and fiu. It was on this date, 3/5, last year that MT fell at FIU by five points.

Blue Raiders to close out season in Miami

No tv here

Don't know where "here" is but my on-air Comcast guide shows the game being on 228 in the mid-state as noted above. (Thanks to whoever found and posted it - and I had no idea ASN had their own local channel)

It's a shame (it's really worse than that) that we have to go to a message board to find out if and when the game is broadcast locally. Incorrect info on GoBlueRaiders.com and in my morning newspaper. Somebody in the athletic offices in The Murph could give a s--t less if fans know anything.

I live in the boro but have dish don't think they have it. I can normall find all ASN games on the alt sports channels but I don't see it listed on any as of now
