"If you can't go to college go to Wilkes!"

You are offering no basketball insight. I am telling dave!

[NEPAFAN]

Does the Merchant Marines still do video for their broadcasts?


The video stream and glorious play by by styling of Dean Corwin have spoiled me.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

No, NEPAFAN... for starters they do not have an SID, right now... and secondly, I was told by a parent of a USMMA player that for budget reasons the video broadcasts were cut out (which is sad, considering how cheap these are and how you can stream for free with Ustream).

Anyway... no video and no live stats for games at USMMA.

[cold_case]

How much would a live stream cost??

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Depends on the service you choose... Ustream is free (because the viewer does see ads pop up from the bottom and occassionally a full ad runs during the broadcast)... Stretch and other services cost money.

There is the cost of the equipment and probably the student(s) to run the broadcast... but who knows how that works at USMMA.

So, really it depends on what you are want to do for streaming and the quality of the stream. It can be several hundred dollars... to several thousand.

[TheGrove]

Who cares about no video! No SID?! Egads.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Believe the SID left near the beginning of the season... or before the end of 2011... but don't quote me.

I know that visiting SID's have been helping out doing stats for the school.

Maybe someone can answer this because i am confused by the regional guidelines.They have Keystone at 17-3 even though they played Rochester in N.Y. They seem that they never counted that as a regional loss according to the NCAA guidelines if they play in region 2 which would be the state of N.Y and Pa. that would be a regional game.

It was nice being able to meet Dave for a brief moment a few weeks back while the Royals were visiting Goucher. Looks like little 'd-mac' was leading a few fast breaks of his own during the game. Enjoy these years, they are most certainly fleeting!
Also great to see Ronk again & gain his insight regarding recruiting etc.
The Royals are still a bit of an enigma. When you think they've got it going in all aspects, they get clocked by Susquehanna & Juniata. Then you think maybe they'll come out of the DC./Baltimore trip @ .500 & they sweep...hard to get a true pulse of where they're at week to week.
Regarding the Regional rankings...I think there is certainly a case for the Royals to be included provided they take care of business this weekend.
On another topic...how about the G-Town/Syracuse game & the unbelievable finish to Duke/Carolina? The Dookies are never out... just ask Pitino.

Jack, are you referring to that NCAA tourney game when Duke blew a 20-pt. lead then needed a buzzer beater to win?

Records are also through Sunday, so the Gwynedd-Mercy game isn't part of this ranking.

[ronk]

  We have the possibility but not the probability of double-headers on the 1st night of conference playoffs of Moravian @ Juniata(Men #3/#2, women #4/#1) and Catholic @ Scranton(Men #4/#1, women #3/#2) if Scranton ladies win a coin flip. Four schools absent under this scenario- not the way conference competition is envisioned for bball.

[NEPAFAN]

Scranton wins at MMA still no box. CUA and Moravian both lose.

[TheGrove]

Susquehanna took down Goucher at home. If they beat CUA tomorrow (a tall order), they clinch a playoff spot.

Oh, and D-Mac, with all due respect... I realize ya'll don't have cheerleaders, but you might want to explain to your men's team and coaches that it's not terribly kosher to walk back and forth in front of a cheerleading squad, or to walk behind them (squeezing yourself behind the back line and the wall) WHILE they are cheering, nor to stand on top of them whilst waiting for the end of the women's game.
