How in the hell can the MW Network hire the Air Force play-by-play guy (Jim Arthur) to do games? He is not only horrible but hates Wyoming. Plus for those of you who are having problems with the streams, the Volar system is a joke and Volar filed for bankruptcy and is going under. Not sure how the network can survive if the lifeblood is out of money.
Craig Thompson should be fired for relying on such BS to promote your league. Plus the ESPNU crap of calling games from the studio instead of being onsite is an absolute slap in the face to the league.

Google chrome works pretty well for the MWN.

It's not the browser it's the system. Volar is a joke and is going under!

I think it's funny that a couple of guys off this website could put together a better streaming site than the conference

I'm not sure how the streaming setup works, but I can verify the browser I use makes no difference at all in my success at viewing these MW streams. Chrome, IE, firefox, safari on my wifes computer, works like crap on all of them. Go to my folks place, same exact results. I know my internet isn't great here, but I don't understand how I can view the espn3 streams nearly flawlessly, but MW ones are essentially unwatchable.

Odd. Mine didn't quite once. I had to make sure the thing was on the live portion of the buffer bar a time or two, but otherwise no problems on my end.

I wish it had an option to sync Dave and Kevin with the broadcast and mute Dave Bollwinkle. That guy is more annoying than the bastard butt child of Todd Christensen(R.I.P.) and Marty Fletcher.
Wyoming Cowboy basketball:

National Champions 1943.

Helm's foundation National Champions 1934.

NCAA tournament MVP and two time College Basketball Player of the Year Kenny Sailors, who is credited with inventing the jump shot.

Do you remember Cowboy Basketball?

I do.

Ha ha. Oh man. Marty Fletcher, that guy tries so hard to be Bill Raftery. Horrid.

You guys ever listen to a game with Bill Walton calling it? Guy is a f-word idiot.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Stream worked great for me last night. It has worked good for me all season. I know it hasn't worked for others so im not sure why mine has worked flawlessly. I go directly through the campus insiders website(have heard someone say that helps), use chrome on an android set-top box tv-pc(http://www.amazon.com/Matricom-G-Box-MX ... oid+box+tv) wired into my 60 inch. Screens gets a bit pixilated at times but looks pretty great considering. Didn't really ever buffer last night.

They do need to make some changes I think to make things better overall. Not sure how much it costs to with a better company and if the MW can afford it but for me personally I can't complain.
