PSAC WEST

[Fightingscot82]

I usually have on mute anyway since weeknight games are during kids bedtime. But this time of year is just an abomination between the lack of bodies needed to produce a basic broadcast and the lack of bodies in the stands. What good is a professional announcer for games

When games are on a commercial radio station, you can't have Trey and Matt from the Comm department. But also, locals aren't tuning into the campus station. The current student generation doesn't listen to commercial radio, so we've gotta take what we get.

Local radio guys want money. Students are free. None of our schools are swimming in cash.

There are some schools in our league I'd prefer just had video and no audio.

Unfortunately for those in Camp Crimson Hawk, both of those road trips are this week (Gannon and UPJ).

The Gannon broadcast not only features the shaky camera Blair Witch effect, but also has announcers who cheer on the air as if they are in the GU student section (when they used to have one). You expect some homerism, but that broadcast is extreme. The camera is also very high above the floor (not as bad as West Chester and the heating duct view on half the screen, but similar).

UPJ must use a 'hawks nest' broadcast booth because the live mic pics up everything those around them say. Not to mention the UPJ broadcast can never handle the volume of people tuning in for the IUP game. Their live feed crashes every year -- about 17 times during the course of the game. Add to it, Vegas could run an over/under on the number of times per game the camera operator forgets to change ends of the court. Usually about 12 times per game we watch an empty half of the court while the action is going on at the other end.

There are some good ones. SRU has a good broadcast -- video and announcers. Clarion and Mercyhurst do as well. California has a great video feed. I never watch IUP's broadcast but I hear it's decent quality (the video is very good and the student announcers' quality varies by year).

Not lost on me. And yet, I'm wondering how many other PSAC schools would not have found somebody, a local radio guy are somebody, to pick up the slack.

Or ... perhaps the SID ...

SID's have too much work to do during a game. Calling a game is harder than you think...

I've done it. It's not all that hard if you have the proper information. Not as if you're going on national TV or something. You need to plan ahead for it. It's not as if it's an unknown when the students are going to be on holiday break.

Can't be that hard.

[WarriorVoice]

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find somebody.

Tell that to their **** AD. Goerie.com had an article praising that ***** last week. She stated that they are first in the Dixon Trophy to back what a great job she’s going. Laughable! She’s responsible for turning a region power men’s basketball team into the laughing stock of the region.

IUP would be killing it if the ladies outside of basketball picked up the pace. The men are always first in the Pee Sack points.

[IUPalum]

There goes their Dixon Trophy!

It's students doing their announcing. It's hard when there are no students on campus...

[IUPNation]

Yeah, it did. The PSAC web site reported it reversed.


Gannon is 0-11

There goes their Dixon Trophy!

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Didn’t UPJ win?

Yeah, it did. The PSAC web site reported it reversed.

[WarriorVoice]

Not exactly impressive, 'Boro, when you can't bother to find a PBP guy to accompany your video feed.

Here's my "I told you so" moment:


Gannon beat the pi$$ out of UPJ today in Johnstown.

The then-0-10 Knights won by 19.

Gannon was the best 0-10 team in history.

Didn’t UPJ win?
