Good article. But wait, Fisher fans chanted "fun-da-ment-tals" when its own team turned the ball over 18 times and shot 66% from the line. Not exactly fundamental excellence in those regards. I'm interested, which side did the "safety school" chant? It's an honest question.

[superman57]

with the safety school...I really don't know who chanted that at who....is either school really the other's saftey school...I mean the two schools have really different focuses

[fisheralum91]

i agree with super-
I dont know of many people - even going back in my time- that even applied to both colleges.

Totally diff focus.

This is major news, I'd say, and something we're going to be seeing more of:

ROCHESTER, NY – The Empire 8 Athletic Conference has announced that it will begin providing free video webcasts of its conference contests in various sports starting with this year's men's and women's basketball championship tournament. The Empire 8 also plans to webcast some of its championship events this spring with the goal of webcasting many regular season contests and conference tournaments starting in the fall of 2007.

"This is an exciting, cutting edge endeavor for our conference membership," said Chuck Mitrano, Empire 8 Commissioner. "Webcasts allow fans, alumni, parents and others close to the conference the ability to watch their teams compete regardless of where they live. The exposure will be great for the membership in so many ways. It's a great technology and one which we have embraced. These basketball championships are just the beginning."

The broadcasts will be run by Penn Atlantic, which was contracted by the NCAA and CBS Sports to video stream some of the NCAA Championships. The webcast will be shown on pennatlantic.com with free viewer registration required. The semifinals will be contested on Friday, February 23rd with the finals on Saturday, Feb. 24th. Exact times will depend upon who hosts the championships. For up-to-date information on the basketball tournament be sure to visit www.Empire8.com.

Superman- I'd love to get Ithaca plus 19 vs Fisher and Hartwick plus 21 vs RIT.  I'm not sayhing that I don't think that Fisher and RIT won't win, but I truly don't think the scores will be that type of blow-out.  Love to see RIT beat Utica but I think that's wishful thinking too.

Agreed. This is the wave of the future.  In the conference I work in now, all the women's conference games are videocast for free on the conference website. The fans and the parents love it.
