UNI vs. Evansville TONIGHT 7PM McLeod Center

[UNI MadCat]

How do you really feel??? If you could express your concerns more clearly, I'm sure it will be fixed by the next game.

I really dont have time for someone like you mocking me. The fact is, I often do voice my concerns to the athletic department. And frankly if the powers that be in the AD don't read this to get a "pulse" on UNI fandom, they aren't doing their jobs. You can learn more about your fanbase here in 10 minutes than anywhere else.

What do I pay for this, like $5 a month? Lets think of other things that you would pay 5 bucks a month more that you wouldn't get pissed about having something wrong with them.

Hmmm...

• Milk -- I spend about 5 bucks a month for milk. Should I be ok if 50% of the milk is spoiled?
• Lettuce -- So if half my lettuce is brown I shouldn't complain?
• Cable Remote (I just read my cable bill) -- apparently I rent it for $5.25/month. What if it only turned the channel on days 1-15 of the month but not the 2nd half?
• Text Messaging -- So only half of my messages go through and I should be ok with it?? What about when I send those all-too-clever "drunk texts" (the new-age "drunk dialing")? Should I have to worry that they dont make it to the appropriate receiver?

That's all I got for now. Feel free to add to the list.

This is just f-ing preposterous.

Yup, ditto.

Panthers Win!!

[OhNewby]

3-0 in the Valley!

[OhNewby]

We're we outrebounded tonight??? Seemed like our interior defense and rebounding weren't as good as usual...

[DRAKELAWPANTHER]

3 point win??? Was it really that close? I turned off the radio when we were 13 up with 10 to play in the 2nd half...then I checked the score online and it was 61-59 with 37 seconds left...What happened???

[Beaker416]

Coleman got into foul trouble and had to sit, and a few big threes by Evansville made it a game.

It looks like the Panthers let up a little bit and the Aces almost made them pay. That said, that's the kind of win that builds character. Bring on Southern!

[OhNewby]

At this point I basically justify paying it for Gary. The video offers essentially 50-75% of the game because they show a replay after absolutely every UNI score. The replay itself wouldnt be TOO bad but before and after it you get an advertisement and the second one takes about 3 x's as long as the actual replay itself. Then, to make it even worse they often then go to an image of the player who made the play. That lasts FOREVER.

In the time I have written this I missed two UE threes, a bucket by UNI and the "T" on the coach due to these fricking replays.

I'm sure the feed we are getting is the identical thing to what's on the scoreboard in the Mac. Fine for the people at the game b/c they can look down on the floor but terrible for us.

Two questions --
1. Would it be that hard to change this for the online viewers?
2. Are the advertisers that pay for scoreboard ads paying for online views as well? Because, frankly, I'm guessing they are getting "free" publicity with the online payments. Sure, it may be a minimal audience, but its a VERY targetted one.

All in all, I'm very unimpressed with the system as it is. I wish I could pay for audio and not video as I would dump the ladder in a heartbeat.

Oh... a 3rd question...
3. Who can I email to complain about this? I might as well make this a productive rant.

Yet another problem with CSTV...post-game radio show got cut off.

Slow pace to start the game off tonight. Crowd was a little quiet throughout, probably because the game was moving so slowly - hard to get into it. Up 15 in the 2nd half and let it slip but never lost the lead. All in all - its a win and I'll take it. We're going to need to be sharper when the Dawgs come to town, let's go Panthers.

I'll try it but, actually, my sense is that this video problem has nothing to do with CSTV but its an internal problem that needs to be fixed by UNI. Its just a guess b/c I've watched many CSTV games from other schools and not seen this problem.

Now that the game is over and I've calmed down a bit, I do think that it isn't something we can p!ssed about as much as we need to voice our concerns about. This is the first year of the system and there will be some kinks and the only way they will know about it is if we give user feedback.

Here's how I look at it. If CSTV is getting my money, it's their problem. I just sent them an e-mail.

CSTV just takes the scoreboard feed and combines it with the UNI audio, so yes it is UNI problem...call Rick Hartzell he will look into it, may not be fixeable

Someone decides what goes on the videoboard... everything is fixable.
