WBB: American Southwest Conference

Ralph Turner · February 17, 2011, 05:09:04 PM

When we (McMurrysports.com) have tried to broadcast from Brownwood, both volleyball and basketball over the last 4 times, we have not been able to access the network that McMurry uses. HPU does not provide internet access, and the architecture construction of the Brownwood Coliseum is not hospitable to the internet access cards that McMurrysports.com uses.

I do not know the technical details of the problems. Brownwood is just one of the hardest places from which McMurryspots.com has tried to webcast.

I hope that something can be worked out.

Looks like the city would place a high speed wireless router withing the Coliseum for the media. Something like that would take very little money. They could provide the media with the access code, so others wouldn't tap into the signal.

The Mausoleum is a great place for fans and teams. It is well known in the area and "halfway" between west Texas and the I-35 corridor.
As local school systems start webcasting their own sporting events, that might make a good drawing card for the Mausoleum when playoffs came around.

Final from Brownwood: HPU 73, McM 55

JACKET84 · February 18, 2011, 08:37:20 AM

Does anyone know if there is an NCAA or ASC rule stating that a school band is not allowed at home conference games? That's what we were told last night by HPU administration when asking why the HPU band never shows up for any games. I went to the Schriener vs HPU game in Kerrville, and they had a band. Just curious. When I went to the HSU game in Abilene, school hadn't started back, so I didn't know if their band plays.

There have been band members at HSU games with McMurry. I once asked why we don't have band members at our home games, and I was told that it was up to the band people whether they wanted to play at basketball games or not.

HPU would clinch the #1 Seed with a win against HSU tomorrow, not #2.

I'm going to go ahead and make a prediction before the brackets are final. Don't be surprised if LC is downed by MHB in the first round. MHB always seems to play well in the Coliseum.

Sorry, that's what I meant.

mcmfan · February 18, 2011, 08:57:08 PM

What a thought -- for the next 24 hours, I'm an HSU fan! Go Cowgirls, beat HPU and bring the tournament to Abilene!!!

Ralph Turner · February 19, 2011, 01:16:54 AM

UOzarks hosts UT-Tyler for 4th playoff spot.

If Concordia wins at Schreiner, and UMHB loses at TLU, then CTX is in.

If UMHB and CTX tie, then UMHB has the tie-breaker because of a 1-1 record vs HSU.

Well I haven't posted in a while, in fact I don't believe all year long, but I guess now is as good a time as any since according to some I only write when HPU wins.

I guess everybody's favorite nightmare, at least outside of HPU land, has happened again and the Lady Jackets will be hosting the ASC tournament once again.

Welcome BACK to Brownwood and GO LADY JACKETS!

I hope that the city fathers will provide ample internet connectivity for the teams that want to broadcast the tourney games, both audio and video!

Forget the internet -- just remember the toilet paper!

dballa · February 19, 2011, 08:06:32 PM

considering the lack of an overflow crowd this year I'm sure the TP will be in abundance

. Hopefully the community will come out and watch the tournament because the women in this conference are playing some great basketball and the Lady Jackets are deep enough and talented enough to make a run through the conference tournament.
