A couple examples that come to mind for me......
I remember when students at the Ralph would have personal notes on every opposing player for when he was in the penalty box. That opposing player would get lit up by the students.
Not at the ralph but when the sioux travelled to Ithaca to play Cornell. Malone lost his helmet and the entire crowd let him have it. Anywhere from fire crotch to ugly was yelled at him from every direction. Then the student section started a "cover it up" chant.
I know these examples might be a little dirty but this is hockey! This atmosphere has disappeared from the Ralph.
Agree the CBS broadcast makes the midco broadcast look very cheap.
When did hammer learn the term "gives chase" I think it started last season and why does he use the term 20 plus times per game ?
Well for starters midco isn't using satellite trucks for uplinks at the ralph....they are now using fiber. I don't know if they have the capability to send their feed from anywhere outside of town via fiber. To downlink away games they've simply been using a dish for downlink and sharing the away team's feed. This method is much less expensive than sending a crew and a truck and possibly renting a satellite truck.
Midco growing into anything other than a small regional is a pipe dream.
The crowd at the ralph is a bit tame. Unfortunately that is just how it has gotten. I really don't get it why some say it's the most intimidating college hockey arena to play in.
So if the hockey team gets stipends would this classify them as paid professionals and no longer amateur?
I'm wondering if this could open the door to potential exhibition games vs chl teams.
Und will have to enact the stipend in any sport a majority of the competition does, simply to stay competitive. Does anyone know what percentage of fcs schools will offer the stipend to their football players? I'm sure ndsu will I guess:/
He's not the only way one. Maybe the only one on here lately. My entire family gets a chuckle still out of the midco broadcast. And after seeing how professional the CBS production is it really puts things into perspective.
Very strange nd would cap that amount. I'm pretty sure my car insurance covers that amount and I normally am driving by myself. Why would the state limit the insurance coverage to that amount when there could be 20-30 kids on a school bus?
