Title: Watching Arizona?
Post by: agibson on November 04, 2011, 11:11:43 AM
So, ESPN3 users, help me out.

I don't have the correct Comcast Tier to get ESPNU at home.  Can I watch the Arizona game on ESPN3?  Live?   Archived?
I'm fairly sure I have ESPN3 access, I'm just not familiar with what content shows up, and when.

Alternately, in the Valpo area, where's a good place to watch live?  Do they do anything on campus?  Or, I'm not opposed to watching a game with some liquid refreshment available for sale.  Is there some place guaranteed to have the game as the main event, with audible sound?  I'd prefer not to have competition from Monday night football, etc.

I'm pretty sure if a game is on any ESPN channel that it is also on ESPN 3, so if you have access, you should be good.  You can always login to ESPN 3 and check their schedule to be sure.

I would think it should be on ESPN 3 as well...at least I hope so for my own viewing pleasure. 

Also, according to the Crusader's Facebook page, there will be a "Watch party" in the Union Cafe at 8.  So you might have that option as well

I emailed ESPN about this last night.  Here is the response I got...I don't think it is scheduled to be on ESPN3

I just went to ESPN3.com and under upcoming events Valparaiso versus Arizona is listed.

I don't 100% trust the system (since it's new to me).  But, I agree, from what I see, it seems likely it'll be live on espn3. 

I notice the Missouri State game is in the archive - I never did watch all of that telecast!  Will have to check it out sometime (was one of my rare visits to the ARC, last year).

FWIW, my info is showing that that game is available on ESPNU and on ESPN3.  Good luck to you guys.  Arizona has struggle in their exhibitions ... this is a great chance to knock them off.

Hey just so you know, students are planning an informal watch party for the Arizona game in the Harre Union Cafe.  All are welcome!  There will be discounted food!

Glad you guys already figured this out.  Was on my list of things to do today.  My comcast still shows that time on espnu as "To be announced"  Hoping that will sort itself out, but happy to have espn3 on backup
