Apparently Almost the Entire State Now Has the Bobcats on TV!

According to our play-by-play guy Steve Martin! He had been asking fans to tweet him their zip code and cable/sat. provider. He said it was being passed along to Fox and the providers and they were seeing what they could do about it. I had been tweeting him, as well as many others, for at least 2 or 3 weeks.

After all of these years, I really didn't have a lot of hope for anything to happen, even if Steve was doing his part to help... I just didn't see anything changing.

BUT, after initially saying that I probably wasn't getting the games right outside of Raleigh because of MLB TV rules (I don't really care about baseball anyway lol), he tweeted this yesterday:

@22thesnowman your complaints helped make this happen, nBA looked into it and with Fox help found a tech. Problem.

How awesome is that? He said there was a technical problem that was messing things up in getting the games to us on our end... But apparently, Steve was putting in a lot of work to help us get them on TV and it worked! I didn't get to check out the game last night because we had a drastic change of plans for Thanksgiving and had to do last minute shopping, but I can't wait 'til tomorrow night!

Everyone who didn't get the games before should definitely tweet Steve and thank him!

Must not have fixed it in Wilkesboro yet. I was at my parents for Thanksgiving and the Toronto game wasn't being shown even though the channel guide said that it was supposed to be

I live in Hickory, which is close to Wilkesboro. This area has the games on DirecTv & AT&T U-Verse. I'm assuming your parents have Charter? They are still refusing to show the games.

I work for Charter & from what I have been told it has something to do with TWC. Obviously, TWC has quite a bit invested in the team. At some point this season, though, Charter will begin broadcasting all of the Cats' games.

Until then I am just out of luck. I'm glad things have finally changed, though. This organization has alienated it's local market worse than any pro team I can think of. Now the entire Carolina region has access to the games.

Say what you want about MJ as a FO guy, but I think he has done a great job. He hired an excellent GM in Cho & stepped down to give him full control. Then he expanded the horrible tv market to include the entire NC/SC markets.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
