Speaking about streaming, I recall seeing a few complaints in the in-game thread about the SJU camera crew completely missing plays. Do folks feel the stream/production quality is living up to the price? Also, I will probably not pay $10 to watch them dominate Carleton, is the radio stream free?

Anyone watched a recent St. Scholastica stream?  Quality?  I'm not driving the Mazda 6 up to Duluth this Saturday.

See for yourself...cameras typically have a zoom feature...just not at CSS.

I don't think the $10 gives you quality.  It's alright, but it's not like you're getting professionals, so it lacks some polish.  It is $10, though.  I use to think that was too much, but you can't even get lunch for $10 anymore.

The audio stream is free, though.  Depending upon where you live, you could even pick it up on AM radio!  Be warned that the radio guys are major homers.

It's usually pretty decent however last week they didn't do a good job of following some plays. Probably a case of the camera operator watching the play and not actually moving the camera with the play.
Too much over-zoom at times too. They've also added an endzone cam which can be nice on kicks and replays but it often caused the to miss some of the action.

Oh boy, that's not even worth watching.

I agree the quality isn't great...but as an alum that doesn't make much of a donation to the university I'm ok w/ $10-20 here and there. There are weekends when I know it's going to be a blowout and driving up will cost me $50 in gas and lunch not to mention 5-6 hours of my time. It's more of a convenience fee to me.
I wish they would just add up how much they make a year off it and get a donor to cover it so that people far and wide can check it out for free.
$10 or free I'll still go up for 3-5 games a year.

Maybe that's why they film it that way....not worth watching!!!

I toyed with driving up--the wife is gone and the kids would enjoy Duluth, but I have plenty to do around home.

How do you know I wasn't referring to the quality of play?

I'm sure the Mazda 6 would get great gas mileage up there, though!

Which has more prestige:

Corvettes or Time of Possession?

Discuss.

Oh hell. I like watching other (good) MIAC games and I like Corvettes (don't have one, but want one). Does that make me a douche?

No...that's not why you're a douche!

I don't get that insult.
Douches are a good thing.

I miss Kilt.
