Stream for today's basketball/hockey game

Submitted by MGoArchive on

Hi there. I've made good on my promise a few days ago after I found out that the hockey games would only be televised on BTN+ despite the Big Ten Network pulling hundreds of millions of dollars from basic cable subs on only offering it on a $9.99/month online stream - I have a stream of my own now.

So here's the deal - for security reasons, the URL of the stream can't be posted to the board. Why? Because there are people like the Big Ten Network/sparty & ohio miscreants, etc., that would have the stream pulled down.

So the idea I came up with - have people join a Discord server (glorified chat room), have them message a verification administrator, the verification administrator will give them a six digit code to include/edit their post with, so we can look through a poster's post history/time they've been a member on the board.

Here's the link to the DIscord server - https://discord.gg/VEdcKTr

We've verified around 50-60 people so far. I know there were a few of you who initially joined on Friday, I messaged you back with a request to have you post in an older thread (BTT Day 2 thread or something) - if you log back in and see that message, please don't bump that old thread, just post in this thread.

If you're a long term lurker but don't post much, that's ok. Just write a reply in this thread, join the Discord server, and I'll give you a code to edit your post to proove that it's you.

Thanks and Go Blue, beat MSU!

Used this to watch last night's hockey game - lags a bit and the sound was extremely low for some reason, but otherwise great (since I will not pay for BTN+ and would otherwise just listen to game on radio stream). Hopefully someone doesn't join just to get the url and bring it down, but it would not surprise me. Carry on with God's work, Archive!

hey guys - please reply back to my private messages to let me know you've made a post with the code/edited your post. I see some people have posted in the thread before receiving the code - I'm not sure if your discord name matches your mgoboard name.
 
I'm trying to authentic a bunch of people and its hard to keep track. Personal messages are in the upper left hand corner on Discord
 
Thanks

EDIT: The instructions on top say to join the authentication channel on the left, but that is not an available option. The only channel there is "general"
