Both the games and Buzz's show.

Looks like the announcement that Time Warner and BrewCity Ballcrusher will be parting ways will be forthcoming.

The Buzz Williams show was the last reason I had to hold on to Time Warner.  Now I'm officially a free agent.  AT&T U-Verse?  Dish Network?  It's up for grabs!

So how are students going to watch any away games now. We don't have Foxs sports 1.

Maybe Chicos can give Marquette a great deal hooking up DirecTV.

You do if you live in a dorm:

Marquette Athletics ‏@muathletics 16 Sep
Good news for @MarquetteU students, @FOXSports1 is now available in campus residence halls. Channel 122. #mubb #muwbb

Maybe Fox Sports Wisconsin will carry the games; unless you don't get that either?

No wonder we're putting the freshman basketball players in Carp.  Maybe the whole team needs to move there now?

I'd say .. stage them at MU, let Homer do the desk, put them on the web.

I can't imagine the audience is that large in the first place.  MU fanatics will find it on the web.

That won't provide a revenue stream for Buzz.

So .. you couldn't sell commercials / monetize it on Youtube?  I mean .. how many viewers did they have on TWC?  Two dozen?

That's interesting.  I suspect TV still rules, even with basement ratings.

I'm in same boat.  I'm sick of TWC.  It was the only reason I kept it through now.  Wish this news would have come sooner. 

Any help on who the best/cheapest option on all Marquette games will be this season?  I don't know about dish in my building, so I'm guessing AT&T.

That story was bad! He didn't know FS1 bought the BE. ESPN didn't buy any BE games. The games they do have ESPN has the rights to the games.

I sure hope they stay in business so that I can still watch the Rob Jeter Show.
