ericpnelson Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 His silly/weird statements aside, there is something real about Hammer's enthusiasm and apparent lack of arrogance that I find very refreshing. He gave us TCoS and "one-timer" for every shot taken. There are a lot of PXP guys who will be better at hockey, but I will miss the guy. TH would be fantastic, but who would do radio like he does?Same.Depending on what the new deal ends up being, it could spur me to try to drop cable. MSN was the reason I didn't even look at any other options for TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBR Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 If FSN is the new carrier, the establishment of an FS North Dakota as discussed above could be bad news for those of us residing outside of ND. There are always webcasts but a feed from cable is better quality, plus we might miss the occasional non-conference football game, for example, played in GF but not carried by Big Sky TV.

Goon Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 is it even UND's choice? Does midco hire with our blessing?I said that tongue in cheek, I am referring a Sit Down and Cheer podcast. Also, UND has a great record when those two do CBS broadcasts for UND hockey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpaw Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hammer will finish out the season doing the hockey games. Midco is bringing a guy from South Dakota in to do the bb broadcasts. Greg Enkers will now host the coaches show with Brad Berry, UND Sports Extra and his current NCHC show, Between the Boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Sioux was rough on the eyes (but the horrible camera work didn't help either. I mean, we never saw Luke's goal go in on Saturday). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dan Hammer said this midco job was his dream job. So there might be something to not being a midco partner.When UND started on Midco it was the only Dakota school with a contract IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bincitysioux Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Has anybody heard Ryan Cunningham from KNOX radio do high school sports? Whether it is TV or radio, I think it would be great to have him doing UND games in some capacity. Very talented play by play guy. Put Sweeney back on TV and try to get Cunningham to do football on the radio. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigskyvikes Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Then he should have just said so. A lot of our fans never really warmed up to him anyway.He was fine, but when he got wound up he sounded like Kermit the frog on the toilet... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been at KNOX for the last couple years. Program director, sports director, and afternoon talk host. He was here for a year, then went to Bismarck and did Bobcat hockey for a season, then came back to GF. KNOX has really been covering area high school sports hard since he came back. He is a very talented radio guy both in the studio and in a play by play booth. I listened to him to for years when he was at KVOC as well. KNOX covered the women's WCHA Tourney at REA last year and he called the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
