The MWCSID emailed me last year to do the Oshkosh/LU game.  Fortunately or unfortunately, the mic didn't work, so everyone got to watch the game on mute involuntarily.  The one thing that he said to me was that, "It's on TV, not radio, you don't need to do exact play-by-play."  or something like that.  I think just having insightful comments on an actual play or player is fine and "filling in" the audience on what's going on is sufficient.  You can't really compare what the Point radio guy was doing to what the LU MWCTV guy is doing because it's two totally different media.

... This is true, but a TV guy will be better off striving more towards radio sportscasting than to attempt a TV sitcom version of  sportscasting...

I think that radio is certainly more difficult because ones words need to paint the picture, whereas TV (or web casting, as it were) already HAS a picture.

But regardless, filling in on TV with radio input (who is doing the play, for instance) can certainly be helpful, especially if the viewer isn't familiar with one or both teams.

Sounds like The Roop and Old School need to do a game some time.

And nicknames arent hard to figure out When we say " 3 point shot for (insert nickname) " you just look at who made the shot....... And im not saying since were are not on espn who gives a **** , what i am saying is that we are not on espn so we can pretty much do it how we want , doesnt mean we dont care, and i am funny, my mom didnt tell me so, but your mom did......burn

Larryubb, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having read it. I award you no karma points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Being funny is like being tough/smart/talented, if you have to tell people that you are, then you likely aren't - or at least you aren't as funny (or tough, etc.) as you think you are. FWIW.

All the funny people I know don't think of themselves as funny. They just are.  ;)

Larryubb, you're a young man [Duh] and while you might be right that there is "a lot of hate in this room", you might want to look past how people are saying things and listen to what they're saying. Self improvement is a good thing. God help you if you think you've got it all figured out at your age.

Ok you win! Vitale just said UNC can beat NBA teams. I muted it!

I think what he probably said is "UNC CAN BEAT NBA TEAMS"!!!!!!!
you forgot:

"BABYYYY!"

and I am glad that Greg is around to remind me of the old M & M connection (Morton to Moses) that became famous ::) in 1977.

One more question for you...

Are you broadcasting these games for yourselves... to hear yourselves talk or are you broadcasting for your audience?  Because the audience has pointed out several valid concerns... and you seem to simply be dismissing them.

I think most of you in this room are smart enough to know this, but please don't think this is your typical LU student.  This dude sounds like someone who hasn't quite matured to realize that he isn't in high school anymore..

Oh by the way Larryubb..the webcasts are on small screens and the visual ain't that great.  Plus I don't have a roster in from of me, so for an example when I see numer 22 hit a three for Lawrence and you use a nickname, I still have no idea who that is.  A lot of us don't watch the entire game we come in in the middle, and so even if you said is real name in the first 30 seconds of the game and you think thats enough...its not.

i like the guy that said the billy madison quote......classic. No vision in this room, some day when i am announcing nba games with bill walton you guys will look back and go
" Oh maybe i was wrong about larryubb......maybe i was wrong" then i will come back to this forum and type random rants and paragraphs acting like im trying to defend myself when really i dont care about LU alum who are disappointed with the webcasts. Care enough to write on this forum, maybe, or maybe i was just bored. Whatev.

Hey, no offense, but these are your paying customers you're blowing off here. If they can't understand the broadcast, they are a lot less likely to watch.

What has been said is very valid, and I have watched a LOT of streaming video of D3 games.

Players still need to be identified when they shoot, foul, rebound, turn it over, etc. You don't need to describe the location of every pass but it's good to know who has the ball. On TV ... you know, real basketball games, not that NBA crap ... you will hear a good announcer say something along these lines:

"Jones with it now ..."
"Over to Jones ..."
"Now to Jones ..."

Etc. You don't need to say "bounce pass up top for Jones," because that's the detail the viewer can see. But the viewer isn't going to know who Jones is. As the broadcaster, we hope to heck that YOU do know who it is. Tell us.

I completely forgot about that. I watched it on HBO or Encore or one of those stations the other night and it stuck with me. Forgive me for the blatant plagiarism and academic dishonestly. I stand before you a humble man.
