Probably less people watching with the men playing on the Ship feed.

Just watched the entire GU / Ship game and the video feed never cut out. No problems on my end. I went through the link on the Gannon athletics site. Not sure if that made a difference.

Guys, I screwed up. Clem is from Blairsville. Sorry for the offense.

And you KNOW it's good if he's giving props to any part of Mon Valley U. ;)

I'm not bitter to Cal. They don't bother me. In fact, Cal is actually our mutually-respected rivalry in football and women's basketball. The men's basketball rivalry has been dead for a long time but is on its way back. They've had good broadcasts for years. If you want to talk gym teachers ... whole different opinion. LOL.

The fact our own fans will all watch a game from inside our own building on the visiting teams' broadcast ... whole different topic/problem.

A lot of you guys lucked out for tomorrow night. Cal always brings their own crew to broadcast the game. They will have their own production (which doesn't skip or freeze). So, if you can't attend ... tune in to the Cal feed instead of IUP's mess). Their lead student announcer is also pretty good (not a cheerleader and is well-spoken and prepared).

All I can advise is if IUP does host and you want to actually watch your teams game .... plan on being inside the KCAC.

[jrshooter]

And I wholeheartedly agree with you. All I said was that the school's priority is obviously with the people on site. If it wasn't, they would make damn sure the live stream is worthy of the program.

I don't disagree with you. At this point I'm just hoping Ship can qualify for the regional tournament and then we'll worry about crossing other bridges.

If Gannon and Glenville State win their tournaments ... then you could have a problem.

Interesting year. Winston-Salem winning just changed the whole dynamic of these two tournaments

Over the years I've seen many conference tournaments where the favorites aren't the hungriest dog at the bowl.

Tell you what ... Round 2 used to be pretty much a gimme game for the top seeds. Not this year. I thought people were nuts this year when they said the West was down. This is as deep with quality teams as I can remember.

At the end of the day ... I don't think anybody really cares what is causing the problem. The problem just needs fixed. That's the point of IUP24 starting this thread.

Being that Regional Saturday is in 12 days ... this season-long headache could now cause problems for the masses -- not just IUP fans.

They can hire Clem from Homer City to fix the damn thing ... whatever it takes.

How much chance is there that this conversation is all for nothing? If the IUP men lose on Wednesday and West Liberty wins the MEC, could the top seed slip away? Same thing with women, with the added caveat that Grenville beat them?
