Panthers down 20 with 4 minutes to go. Final score 84-57. Talk about the final score not telling the story of the game.

Good info, thanks. I will be talking with Bill and Brian about this. If even TWC customers were blacked out this is beyond ridiculous.

Soooo, are we at the point where the big donors start talking about paying Jeter's buyout again? 5 20+ point blowouts in the last 7 games and counting. What the hell is going on with this program? I don't want to hear any more about the APR ban, either.

I am not certain why but I was not able to access the game from my computer, I was able to watch the game using my WatchESPN app on my smart phone and broadcast it to my big screen using Chrome. I do not have a Time Warner account but fortunately my 87 year old mother has Time Warner and I set up an account under her name.
I though Milwaukee ran out of gas at the end. Road games are going to be difficult for everyone. The home teams all won today including several upsets.

That is odd, as I'm a twc customer and my app said i can't view this event in my area.

I think the service I used was just a free trial but do a little google searching and it shouldn't be hard to find a way to set up a vpn proxy for free. Basically what it will do is trick espn 3 into thinking your IP address is coming from a different place (city, state, country, etc.) which will get rid of the blackout. alabama.247sports.com/Board/116/Contents/Easy-workaround-for-ESPN3-blackout-13447551

The service above actually has an app as well that lets you use it on a phone or tablet as well. I tried that tonight and it worked great but it seems like it is a free trial too. But like i said if you search a little you can always find a free way to do something.

Cleveland State has horses we don't. It's all recruiting, with some blame to lay at the coaches' feet and other blame to be laid at the feet of the university administration, which does not do its part to make sure the coaching staff has the resources they need to build the best team possible.
There are players in the Horizon League who could have come here and would make us better right now, but when we tried recruiting them admissions wouldn't even let them on campus. Why is that? Because admissions could tell they wouldn't get into UWM more than a year before they could step on campus, and would not allow the program to bring them in for an official visit.
Obviously there's a reason I'm bringing this up following this game, and there are plenty of people who know at least a couple of the players I'm talking about. So let's keep those names off the boards to not embarrass them.
I had to point it out. The coaches are not recruiting the best team possible. The university is ensuring that even if they do the best job they can recruiting, we're only getting 60-70% of what we could recruit.
Is it cheating? I don't think so. Making sure those less fortunate get an education is what college athletics should be about. And the NCAA is the most hypocritical, dogsh*t organization this side of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
Remember Ricky Franklin? Great player, great guy. Couldn't qualify coming out of high school, so he sat 2005-06 off the team to get his grades up. Graduated with honors, scored 1,000 points and raising a family. Would we even be able to get Ricky on campus for an official visit in 2015? Who knows.
What I do know is players that the university wouldn't allow on campus are on track to graduate or have graduated from other schools inside the conference (and in the MVC, MAC etc.).
Jim Harbaugh's speech at the Michigan basketball game the other day was especially telling. It's nice to be able to put everything in a pretty box and say that it's the coach, or the AD. But the fact of the matter is the whole school, from our new Chancellor on down to the nose bleed season ticket holders, need to work together to make it happen or it's never going to happen.

Well, UWM had the horses to win the league championship last year.
Or was that all coaching?
I just think Gary Waters has a mind hold on Rob Jeter, like a Svenjolly.

They won't let certain kids in yet the program is on APR ban.
All I heard all preseason was this team has tons of talent and that Akeem killed Jordan Aaron in practice last year. Jeter has to get a majority of the blame for the 5-10 record with multiple blow outs.
Not that would have any difference but why didn't Prahl play any minutes last night? Panoske was terrible yet again.

In all seriousness, it's hard to imagine Gary Waters being cheerful about anything.
Outside of when he beats our tail, of course.
