Uhhhhh sarcasm?

Dig a hole. Climb out of it.

Oh yeah. She believed whole heartedly in Dodge.

In Cedar Park it appears to be channel 438 on TWC.

But once you've gone black...

Oooh. Something to look forward to.

I've been working a CUSA TV package again this year. I have not been to all the CUSA stadiums (and I haven't worked at Apogee) but from what I've witnessed our stadium is on par or superior to every stadium in the conference. In a TV truck it makes a world of difference if the stadium is precabled. Apogee is precabled and I hear from crew members who've worked there say the experience is great. Currently I'm working Marshall @ FAU. This stadium is pretty new (albeit an erector set) and is pretty nice. When they built it, not only did they NOT spend the extra money to precable it they didn't even think about a tv broadcast. The press box is huge, but there is no preset tv booth. The Athletic Dept, basically converted a suite into the tv booth. The game cameras are situated on the 10 yard lines (horrible for coverage). I'm on a cheap show so no camera on a dolly for me. Television coverage was barely an afterthought when they built this thing. There are quite a few stadiums that are nice from a viewers perspective, but from a TV world, suck. The Independence Bowl comes to mind as does Rice's stadium. Other stadiums just blow. I'm looking at you Alabama Birmingham (now that I'm not looking at Fouts). I wish I was working at WKU. I hear it's nice. Left on my schedule this year of stadiums I've not worked are FIU (I hear bad things) Southern Miss (the NT game), and MTSU. I hope 2 out of 3 are nice. Thanks for letting me vent. Maybe next year I'll get to come to Denton. GO MEAN GREEN BEAT MTSU!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was originally SD. It has been changed to an HD show. Will Uverse air it that way? I don't know.

I worked this game. UGLY. Bad play, bad coaching decisions, bad officiating. even our broadcast was subpar. Rice does have a FG kicker who will play on Sundays.

Sounds like us 5 years ago. The proof is in the trenches!

A couple of things. Finally interviews done from a different location. I was starting to believe Vito was getting kick backs from ReddyIce. It may be time to change my old school Quinn jersey for a new Orr jersey. He just seems like a class act. But really what I'd like is an Awasome throw back. Still my fav ever.

Trick or treating at a tailgate? I'm reminded of the SNL Coneheads sketch handing out 6 packs of beer on Halloween. I'd send my kid over to T or T for a bratwurst and a beer.

I am really not good at this.

I wondered about Terell as well.

Thx.

I know it's archived somewhere on the web but I can't find it. Any help?

I hope you enjoyed the broadcast. It was a fun game to work on. I'll be at Rice next weekend. Owls vs Owls.

Starting to really like that guy. We're we injury free?

Saw the screw up. Wrote ESPN. Got a nice "Thanks we'll fix it next time." If just one person does it they won't care. If many people do it they will care. Announcers dont want to be wrong. Be polite but direct. Oh yeah. We could continually win and the problem will fix itself. Bring a sign to the next game ala the NMSU game "Call us North Texas State again and I'm coming to the booth." Best sign ever.

Since Joe Greene has come back into the fold a little bit I like the idea of the Mean Green Curtain. Mean Green D works as well.

Don't feed the trolls.

Oh, I want sound or video of that. It might take the NT drum line to keep up with Pert.

Since we're talking NO... Will there be any tailgating? I'm working the game (TV), and will get a break a few hours before kick. I'd like to meet some fans. Maybe even bring a camera for bump shots, rollouts etc.

Note Brandon Kennedy played from 200-2003. He had over 1800 years of eligibility.

I'm listening. I like what I'm hearing. I've also started listening to the green guys before hand.
