Guessing the 30 day free subscription allows for the time needed to get the bugs worked out and the Roku application in place.

The 30 day trial is a business model designed to get entice you to try the app, learn you like it, and be willing to continue paying for the service. It shouldn't be a time for the Midco themselves to "try out" the app, especially when they are literally the only way to watch the games. I guess time will tell whether they pushed away users by introducing a subpar product.

I guess time will tell whether they pushed away users by introducing a subpar product. I just don't understand. "They should have not streamed the games for free this weekend (so no one could watch online) since one of the ways people stream is Roku, and that wasn't ready yet" - is that the argument? (Not just onthefarm since that seems to be a theme on Twitter too) I'm thrilled the games were streamed. I'm thrilled it was free. I'm thrilled you can watch via a browser and cast to a TV. I'm even thrilled to see local/regional ads. I guess I'm just getting old and can't see the problem.

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong as I was not aware you could cast from a browser. I just tried it and it worked, so I'll take back some of my criticism. I'm stubbornly hanging onto my preference that they had put out a polished product. Overall I'll agree I am glad they are playing basketball it's televised.

When I watch most other streams from both conference and non conference opponents, I realize how lucky the 4 Dakota schools are to have MidcoSN as their broadcast partner.

I can still cast my browser window to a TV, as is always the case, but when trying to do that with video it's unwatchable. So, no. There is no casting option. I remain bitter that Midco has forced me into very poor viewing options on this showcase (if those options were even working, which they currently are not. I've been staring at a spinning wheel on my laptop for 5 minutes).

The stat sheet won't show it every night, I think, but AJ is 10,000% a guy you want on your team. We are lucky to have him.

Encouraging game for AJ and Archambault. But Todd is just not the guy.

I’m sick of waiting. I want to win. Our fans have accepted losing so long that it’s making it impossible to expect anything but losing.

I'm not sure I'd say we accept losing. Agree to disagree. Name the last time the Men’s team went to the Summit League tournament and was expected to win a single game? 2017? Once? Not good enough for me. Sure, I’m being hypercritical but I think that’s good. I don’t want to sit around and wait 50 more years to be relevant. This is Division 1. I want to win now.

I'll say it. Lee isn't the coach to get it done. Just not getting good vibes. There's something "off" with what's going on with the program. Not going in the right direction.
