Line will be out later, expecting the Raiders to be a ten point, or more dog. Will be surprised at anything less.

 

[Blueraider_Mike]

What is the best way to get tickets? Should we walk up game day? Or buy from our AD?

 

[SpaceRaider]

we were still able to get tickets from the MT ticket office as late as Saturday, you can try calling the ticket office here or at wku.

 

[TeKEraider]

Tweeted today you can get them through the ticket office until Friday. WKU fans on the cusa board seem to think it will not be well attended so you might can wait and buy them there if you can't get to the ticket office.

[sWiley]

If we are to have any chance in Bowling Green, our punting game has got to become better. Giving their offense good field position is a recipe for disaster. They will drop 70 of us if we keep rattling off 20 and 30 yard punts....

 

[SmithO1906]

Agreed about the punting I think we need to also run the ball, cause turnovers( they have like 2 turnovers all season) and get the tight ends involved in short yardage situations and in the red zone

 

[sWiley]

Running the ball is a given. Nothing else matters if we can't run the ball because it's game over. Special teams has been a burden all year and in games like this, where you've got two nearly matched teams, special teams becomes a huge factor. We've gotta hit our field goals, bomb our punts, and kick it through the back of the end zone on kick offs.

Is the game on TV or not Sat? If not, THEN WHY THE H--L is the game time 11:00 AM?

Channel for DirectV, Comcast, Charter (lucky I have access to all three throught family and friends)?

What is Fox Sports net? Does that imply that game is only available on your computer (or other device)? Does it require subscription or PFV?

I can't go to Bowling Green but would like to be able to plan my weekend around watching the game. A little help here!

Well I have dish the one option you don't have but it is on all the regional fox channels according to the guide. Should be the same for direct. Cable will probably only be Fox Sportsouth. Fox Sports Net is just all the regional networks lumped into one.

[MT Glenn]

I haven't had Direct TV for a while but I think it was around 219.

 

[mtfblue]

FS1 is 219 FSN is up in the 600-650 channel range on Directv

 

[SmithO1906]

Just checked it is on channels 649, 654, 660, 661, 663, 671, 676, 683, 687, and 692 (lol) on directv

Tucker is out. Frack!!!

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Tucker is out. Frack!!!

Not good. Not good at all. Jordan & Jeremiah better strap it on and get ready to carry the load or it's gonna be a LONG day. Vandy already exposed what happens if we cannot establish a running game. Just pulled into the parking garage next to the stadium.

 

[TeKEraider]

Now Aldo tweeted the depth chart and Tucker is on it. So confused..:

 

[MTsumner92]

Glad that Darius is at full speed this game. At guard or LT?

 

[MTBig Blue]

Great start

 

[Middle Mike]

Going to be a very long day.

 

[MTBig Blue]

Please, please get a new punter! He is terrible

[crclarke55]

Our punting game is the worst!
