Hear about Coach Farley?

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

If OB wants people outside the CV to get excited about his show he should talk his station into streaming it online so we can listen to it. Hard to get excited about something you can never listen to, sort of like Panther basketball.

If Becks doesn't want people to ***** about their service they should try getting food to customers in less than an hour. Restaurants all over the country manage to do it.

I'd rather ***** about Becks than ***** about our players like you do.

I have talked to management at the big blowtorch about streaming the show or getting KXEL on line with audio but the ownership of the stations, and they own numerous stations I believe across the US, just is not ready to stream audio due to some legal issues with doing so. I know, I know, other stations are doing it, but the only way this company will stream on the web is if it is done with in the laws of doing so........I think it will happen in time but just not soon enough for most of us!!
Also, certainly want to get people excited about OPR but really started this thread to.....get everyones reaction on Beck's.......!! just kidding.....started the thread to let those in listening range of KXEL1540AM radio to know that Coach Farley was going to be on and if you want to hear the coach talk some UNI football and answer some of the many questions many of you have then don't miss this show. So many times I have guests on and later someone runs into me and says " Hey, I didn't know you were having so and so on your show, if I would have known I would have listened for sure".
In a side note......Jegbomb52.....you are the best brother!! Can't wait to tip back a cold one and catch up in St. Louis!!

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

I will meet you at the 5 dollar tables at the Lumiere, can't wait!

If you run in to dead space tonight you can mention that former Panther, former NFL'er Derrick Frost and his wife Sara just had their first baby, it was a boy and is named "baby Frost" because they can't think of any names! I know you like Derrick and thought you might like to know that. See you in the Loo!

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

My brother and I went to Becks prior to the last 4 or 5 football games and spent plenty of money on meals for us, our kids, and some beers while we watched football on the big screens. I had no other issues the previous weeks. That doesn't not earn them a free pass from criticism when you rot for over an hour with the promise of your food coming out any minute. They have several people running around pretending to be important, why don't they do something? If they have no power to make it right then get their butts in the kitchen and help cook.

If the kitchen isn't big enough then tell the people that upfront when they order. They knew it would be a long time and ignored that fact in the hopes I would just pay.

I have no problem with the waitress and I told her that, I told her it wasn't her fault and gave her a decent tip for the beers we had. Why somebody 'in charge' didn't visit us and make it right is where I have the problem. When the wait went way too long they could have given us some chips and salsa and said the next round is on the house. We had some small kids with us that left hungry and no time to do anything about it before kickoff.

Like I said, ask for my free beer tonight, I got it coming.

I listen to Rima's show a lot so I look forward to hearing Farley, I hope he offers some comment on the last few minutes of the Richmond game. I might be able to stomach thoughts about it after a few months.

I really am interested to know how the recruiting rules affect the relationship with Coach and Jake when it comes to talking about colleges.

If I may explain what I'm sure their "legal" issues are:

Stations run a lot of national commercials. These commercials are only to be played in the markets in which time is purchased, and are to be blacked out entirely in certain states for a number of reasons.

Long story short, when a station streams, they have to cut out national commercials. You have two options:

*Get the software installed that can do that, or
*Cut out all commercials on-line.

Bahakel doesn't have, and frankly can't afford (they recently fired a number of people) that software. Therefore, the other option is to cut all commercials out - meaning you incur the expenses (computers, hosting, additional licensing fees) and get no direct revenue back...so they choose not to.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Just be glad you didn't get your face (allegedly) beaten in while you were there.

If someone is acting like a drunken a-hole, and ends up getting their face (allegedly) beaten in.... then that is just karma. And frankly, I personally don't have a problem with it.
But if someone is beaten for no reason, then I would have issue with it.
Though I'm guessing that the (alleged) incident which you are referencing fits more into the former category.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

started the thread to let those in listening range of KXEL1540AM radio to know that Coach Farley was going to be on and if you want to hear the coach talk some UNI football and answer some of the many questions many of you have then don't miss this show. So many times I have guests on and later someone runs into me and says " Hey, I didn't know you were having so and so on your show, if I would have known I would have listened for sure".

I can understand the reasoning behind the lack of streaming.

But as far as the "I didn't know you were having so and so on" issue...
Have you ever thought of keeping a schedule of upcoming guests/topics/whatever on the KXEL website? Obviously, it would be subject to change and all that. But it might encourage people to tune in on a day that they might not otherwise. (okay, I'm selfishy thinking of myself. I make it a point to listen to OPR most every day during football season. But the rest of the year, other things tend to take priority, as I'm not quite as much into the other sports as I am into football, and volleyball).


As far as Beck's, I've never had any issues with food or service there either. And taking in the radio broadcast (of OPR and the coaches shows) is definitely an interesting experience.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Also, I was unable to listen in today, as I was at work and not near a radio.

Can anyone recap any news that Coach Farley had?

The law, and society, disagrees with you. Being an ******* is not sufficient reason for someone to be beaten - and it's certainly not reason for what has *allegedly* happened at that establishment in the past.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Farley gave his recruiting class a B+ (he said he was being hard on them too).

Said UNI is under a hiring freeze, and b/c of that, they are working through things to get the positions occupied by Frost and Montgomery solidified. He said he has people he wants to fill them, but is unable to do so currently. Some he has wanted to get the job have since gone elsewhere due to the freeze.

Said there was discussions with Michigan. Probably not as much from Michigan as has been led on to believe. Said if we want to start playing multiple 1-A schools (yes, he still uses the nomenclature) , that we should go 1-A...which is not going to happen.

Said BJ Ray is probably the most intriguing prospect in this class. Several of the recruits are going to have a chance to play next year. Says they are still looking for a QB. Are in on two QB recruits still out there. Said that one of the KC linemen athletes ended up getting a last minute offer from K-State, but turned it down. Said that we had two verbal commits in the QB class. One went to Oregon. The other to Ohio (I believe it was the kid from Oklahoma).

Said that Dannen is looking at getting new turf, but due to the fact it has to be picked up and stored, it's made things a little more difficult (or particular to the Dome's needs) to get. Funding is also a concern. Said that locker room and weight room were funded mostly by 'friends of UNI football'.

I can't think of anything else at this time. Others feel free to add more.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Thanks PTTB. That is some good stuff. Sounds like it was a great interview with a lot of good info.

Like to hear we are at least trying to get some new turf.

Was nice to hear we have a kid that turned downed K state to come to UNI.

Sucks to hear the stuff about the hiring freeze affecting our coaching staff. That is not good to hear.

Interesting to see if we end up getting a QB this late, after having two leave after verbaling to UNI.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

Oh Baby...have you and the blowtorch explored the possibility of a podcast of the show? That would reach listeners outside the area and those who couldn't listen in at the original time. Makes it hard to call in, obviously, but I know I would have loved the podcast option when I was serving overseas...I'll bet there are plenty more like me out there.

Re: Hear about Coach Farley?

and podcasts cost virtually nothing to provide

Great idea and I am going to look into this. Also have been wanting to get a website of my own started and was wondering could I put a podcast on that? Anyone out there want to help me launch or know someone who can help me get onpressrow.com on the world wide web, private message me!!
