Brian, I got the Maine semifinal fine because I tuned in before the
broadcast actually began and grabbed a feed. Not knowing what
the capacity is, one doesn't know whether he dare switch away for
a few minutes before the game ends. Having been a RealAudiophile
and hockey game surfer for most of this season, here are a few of
my observations of the national scene:
Schools of national interest which most need to get their games on
the Internet on a regular basis: Maine and Colorado College.
The school that's furthest ahead: Michigan, for offering all the
home games in video.
The school that should stop trying to broadcast until they
learn to do it right: North Dakota
The school that would get more listeners if we didn't have
to listen to that lousy 60-second promotional message from
the president every time we switch back and forth: Mankato
A few schools that could have plenty of listeners if they'd get
their systems into sync with what everyone else is using:
Ohio State, Boston College, UNO
The school with the least professional, most absent-minded
hockey sportscaster who's still enjoyable to listen to if he'd
just give the scores once in awhile: Notre Dame
The school whose announcers will be in the doghouse if they
skip the National Anthem before a game at Merrimack the way
they did in Worcester: Maine
