Great show with Coach Jake tonight on 'On Press Row'. Good stuff on the Thailand trip, rule differences, etc... I'm getting more and more pumped about UNI going overseas and there are still 2 months to go.

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. -
It was a great show. Confirmation on the jerseys, as well as some info on his discussions with the coaches from two years ago. Answered many of the questions I had been wondering about. Gotta love a little OPR. -
We all love OPR...I'd like to see the show expanded to two hours. If John Miller can have a two hour show breaking down the two-deeps for Iowa football in April...why can't UNI fans have a two hour show that focuses on Panther athletics? If anyone from KXEL is reading...WE WANT MORE OPR!!! If any sponsors are reading...suggest to KXEL they YOU want more OPR!!!"10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Hey GR, I know its not just a simple snap of the fingers and this thing gets done but is there way to maybe look into getting archived broadcasts? For me, it wouldn't really matter if it was live. In fact, I'd kind of like the thought of hearing yesterday's broadcast the next morning at work.
Thanks!Comment

First of all THANKS for listening to OPR gang!
Coach Jake, on Tuesdays On Press Row show with The Sports Guy said:
1) UNI WILL be wearing the red, white and blue, they will be wearing USA uniforms. Each country competing must wear there countrys colors so UNI will wear USA uni's and we are excited to wear the red, white, and blue and USA team uniforms, this is probably a once in a lifetime deal and this maybe the only time one single university represents the USA in the World University Games, there is no guarantee they will do it this way again so that is pretty neat for UNI....... (now how awesome is that!!!)
2) Right now they have 11 players available to play and have to hope no one gets hurt this summer as many of the guys will be playing in The Prime Time League again this summer! (there have been some rumors floating around that the incoming freshman could possible be cleared to play but the team roster allows for just 12 players and the traveling party is limited to 20 so even if UNI got the ok from the NCAA to use the incoming freshman they have to keep the roster at 12 players. That is why I asked Jake about the number of players, if someone got hurt what would they do, it is not like it is a college all star team and they could pick up another player before they leave, and he said as of now they are taking just the 11 players that were announced were going earlier)
3) UNI gets just 10 practices together prior to going to the World University Games per NCAA rules and regulations. The other teams that will be playing could be practicing right now as they are not operating under NCAA guidelines, which is a huge advantage to the other countries, they have no limitations and could have some exhibition games or couple of months of practice under their belt going into the tourney.
4) The players they use could be guys who have played or are playing some level of pro ball in there country as many of those countries do NOT have college or university teams so the opposing players could be a bit older than the USA team, 24 to 27 years old and could be or have been a pro type player in that country.
5) After talking with Jay Wright of Villanova, who coached the 2005 team to the gold medal, look for play to be very physical!
6) After talking with Jim Boeheim of Syracuse, it will be tough to play zone against the teams because of their outstanding passing, spreading of the floor, and 3 point shooting ability.
7) The opposing teams get very jacked up to play the USA and the UNI/USA team will get the opponents best effort because they want to beat the USA who has dominated the World University Games.
8) There are some rules differences in the international rules FIBA rules, swatting the ball when it is ON or ABOVE the rim is legal in international play, 24 sec shot clock will be a big factor, only can have it for 8secs in the back court and coach Jake is the only guy that can call a timeout! Players can not call a TO!
9) Jake also added that alot of preparation is in the hands of the players, they have to do alot of work on their own to make sure they are ready for what is ahead of them at the WUG!
Those were some of the main points Coach Jake and The Sports Guy addressed, he did say they are still trying to find out if it is even possible to broadcast the games from there, via the radio airwaves, so they are trying to find out if somehow someway the games could be broadcast back to Iowa and the USA, how huge would that be Panther fans to be able to listen to the games live, I don't care if the tip off at 1:00am, a listener party would be awesome! Right out of Hooisers and the guy listening to the title game in his hospital bed via the radio airwaves!
I will get Jake back on the show in a few weeks to talk more about it!
P.S. I would love to get the show on the net or archive and make it available on the net, is there anyone out there who would donate their time and effort and knowledge and help me launch my website where I could possible have the show archived?Last edited by OH BABY!

Not to hijack the thread, but the major obsticle to netcasting (either live, or archived) is commerical inventory. Commericals from National accounts (even regional accounts) CANNOT be broadcast online. Often these companies are running very different spots in different parts of the country, conforming to local regulations, and advertising different items/specials. Therefore, for any show to be netcast, the producers of that show have to figure out how to either (a)get permission to clear these spots nationally, or (b)block out the national spots completely, and fill with something else.
...or you could be like at least one station in town and just netcast it all, and hope nobody catches you.Comment

Thanks for the update GR.
(and NB, thanks for explaining a bit about why it's not so easy.)Last edited by UNI MadCat; 06-06-2007, 04:25 PM.Comment

Well, couldn't he theoretically just cut out the commercials and archive the shows online that way? Just a thought from my tired brain at 3:32 in the morning...Comment

You could no doubtedly cut out the commercials, but I would think that you would want to have advertisers on there to help pay for the costs of running the website, especially with so much bandwith being taken up with archived audio. You would have to have either a 'cookie cutter' webpage from like angelfire (or whatever is cool these days) or have a professional work on it for you. That all costs good money, and especially if you want to put archived audio.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Yes, you could simply "cut" the spots and provide an archived broadcast that way. The only obsticle is time, and making sure local spots that want to be on the archive stay in, while others who do not are excluded.
After that, it's just a hosting/bandwidth issue.Comment
