What the heck is this crap?
The game is only being aired on Fox Sports OK. Not FSSW. Not any of the FCS channels. And for whatever unknown reason, it's not being streamed to any of the people that pay $10 a month for SoonerSports.tv. What exactly is the point of that service again? Why would anybody pay $10 a month if they don't even stream games on it?

Man, I'm sure this whole Sooner Sports agreement with Fox has been a nice paycheck for the University, but it sure has screwed the fans. A few years ago every single one of our games was on ESPN3 at least.

I know there's probably not a huge demand for OU basketball out in the questionably legal portions of the Internet but does anybody know if there's a chance that out of state fans could find it streaming somewhere?

I agree. Luckily, I just saw that my Uverse U200(second cheapest) is showing the game on 1754, as well as the Idaho game Wednesday(I'm in Houston). Get Uverse Bro. You'll get to see most of the OU games... The Oklahoma FSSW is worth it alone for all the OU football replays, coaches shows, and now, showing our patsy non con home BBall games...
 
I am in Wichita, KS and the game is available on Dish in HD on 446. So far, Dish seems to be showing all the games affiliated with foxsports.

Trust me, if UVerse was available at my apartment, I'd get it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, cable is my only option.
 
It's airing here in New York City, on one of the MSG (Madison Square Garden) channels (MSG+HD, 748).
 
Haha wow. So people across the country get it, but people that live a half hour from UNT and two and a half hours from OU don't get it. Weak...
 
Here's a funny story. Friday I didn't think the game was on here and I spent an hour and a half trying to get this firstrow.eu nonsense website working that was littered with popup ads and could only get sound.

Only to find out with 2 minutes left it was on fox sports west with my verizon fios and I hadn't even checked the listings. lol

What a moron.
 
Well I live in oklahoma and love that fox sports oklahoma shows them. I used to not get a lot of games. I get every game now.

I've got no problem with FS Oklahoma getting the games. I just wish those of us in Texas, where probably a third of OU alums live, would get the game on cable or online.

I think the really upsetting part actually is that SoonerSports.tv doesn't stream the damn games and expects people to pay $10 a month for nothing.

I think you just need to get better at working the channel guide because this is the second week in a row that you are the only guy on the board who can't watch the game, and if it's not a user issue (I'm convinced it is) then it may be time to evaluate your provider/subscription options.

I can't help that the game is not on cable outside of Oklahoma.
The people who get the game either live in Oklahoma or have a service (like satellite) that gets FS Oklahoma. It's clearly marked on the SoonerSports site that the game is only available on FSOK. I just wanna watch my team.

Like I said, trust me, I have no interest in having Time Warner, but I don't have any other options. I don't like that I get the damn Longhorn Network but get screwed on OU coverage. I'll get the Idaho game on Wednesday, but not North Texas (which is extra odd considering I live in North Texas).

That does not make any sense. Do you have the extended sports pack or whatever they call it. I live in west texas and have Dish with the sports channels and both the OU game and the Texas Tech mens are on at the same time. That is not to mention the volley ball and other sports that have been being shown on the Fox stuff.
