In a new partnership between Liberty Athletics and MASN, five conference home games and one non-conference home game will air on the station. Two additional road contests will also be broadcast on the network as well.

I believe it's channel 626. You should get it. Last I checked I've got it, and I have the basic package.

If for some reason a game does NOT show up on 626...check 671 and 672...those are MASN Alternate channels.

And for Dish Network subscribers like myself, it's channel 432, and MASN2 is channel 433.

Nope...Comcast is still bitter over the Orioles leaving...they should be doing :cartwheels , instead.

Well I have Comcast in Richmond and I get 2 different MASN networks...The question for me is, will I be at home in Richmond watching them or will I be on the air? I need to reach out and find out. I hope I get to do them though. Otherwise, it will be a sad day in TV history :cry: I know MASN is doing the football game this weekend and Mike Tilley and Ray Jones will not get to do it. I think it is a big south game though because Matt Hogue is doing it.

We're having Matt Hogue do a Coastal game? Great.

Reading the article it says it will be simulcast which usually means that they are just picking up our feed. That would be great news if that is the case. I can't wait to start in 2 weeks. Does anyone know anything about Coker? I need to do some homework.

Matt Hogue is doing it. That doesn't suprise me. The regular MASN crew for the past several weeks had been Orioles play-by-play man Jim Hunter and former Raven Wally Williams.

I'm sure after the two-OT thriller, they will hold the presses. All that means is folks will be their papers a little later the next day.

C'mon Scar, do your own homework, haha! Just ribbin' ya man!

Located in Hartsville, SC. Play in the Carolinas-Virignia Athletic Conference, same as D-II national champ Barton College (bad memories for LU). Their coach (I think Smotzer is his name) has been an NBA scout (Cavaliers) and was also an assistant at TCU for awhile before going to Coker. He was at TCU when they were 4- or 5-seed in the NCAA tourney in '86 or '87 (I can't remember which), and they came within a few points of making the Sweet 16. He's been at Coker since '87, and he's also a PE prof.

Off the top of my head, that'll have to do for now...
