petey23 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 How will this shake-up affect UND football on Midco and radio? I have heard a couple rumors but aren't reliable enough to throw out here and was hoping someone had better confidence and could confirm.

A glorified practice that doesn't count in any standings? You're right, that should be the most important game of the season for everyone. What does that have to do with anything. The game will be on television and his commitment is to do televised UND games in Grand Forks. Who said it was the most important game of the year? Your getting off topic. The fans and the players will treat it as a regular game. They don't want to lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement will do all of the TV games. The only way it would affect football on the radio is if Sweeney was hired for the Midco position, otherwise I believe that they plan to have him do the football games again next year on radio.

It would seem that their presence would be a bigger deal as the top 2 players on the team missing games that actually mean something versus the TV guy missing an exhibition game. And I didn't realize that the TV guy had any bearing on whether the team wins or loses games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 This is such a stupid argument. He has a prior commitment. Big deal!! Who cares!!! Man, hockey can't start up soon enough!! Getting rediculous around here!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the upper bowl is going to be almost half empty. Not so certain the fans are treating it as a regular game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 My misunderstanding. I thought it was said that Hammer was going to do the rest of the broadcasts this year. You guys are getting way of topic. It has nothing to do with the importance of the game. Never mind. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most broadcasters bleed green (cash). They root for whomever is paying the bills. Not a lot, especially in a blended market like this, can broadcast for a single school like Tim Hennessey has.

Hammer is doing the rest of the hockey broadcasts this year, with the exception of a single exhibition game. I'm sure that was all spelled out to both KFGO and Midco when the agreements were made. Since KFGO and Midco are the ones paying Hammer, it is probably up to them rather than a couple of fans on the internet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say at this point anything anyone hears is rash speculation at best. It's far too soon after the first event for the cascading events to be sorted out yet.

You mean to tell me that UND isn't signing that exclusive contract with ESPN for the production and nationwide broadcasting of all home Fighting Hawks' games?!?

Apparently he won't be doing the January 9th home game cause he says he will be in Frisco following the Bison that week. Either you are doing the UND games or you are not. His commitment seems a little insincere. In fairness maybe he is going to be there that week and come back on Saturday for the hockey game. I guess that is possible. Hammer is doing the game today.

siouxfan512 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 This thread is ridiculous. Let's stop bashing Hammer, he really doesn't need to have any special allegiance to UND; this is his job. Hammeter has done a great job in his time here. At this point I'm just interested in knowing who will take over for football and hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
