Re: All Things Denver XXX

This waiting for Friday thing is killing me. Plus as far as I can tell there is no TV for this series...So du78 and all of you who subscribe to the DU webcast, here's a couple of questions:
1- How much?
2- Is it possible to but one game at a time?
3- Can it happen instantly, I submit my visa number and boom I get the game that night, right away?
4- How's the quality
and here come possibly the most important questions,
5- Can I pause it for an indefinite period of time?
6- Can I start it whenever I want?
questions 5 and 6 are important because I don't think I can be home in time for the face-off. So in other words, can it work like DVR?

Welcome aboard BigBossMan!!!

Hey Dmann -- The quality is great, it's produced by FSN. You can buy one game at a time, for like $6 or $7 i think...or you can sign up for a monthly membership, which i think is like $10/mo. It's pretty instant, you can be up and running within a few minutes. I don't believe it has any DVR capabilities, but i could be wrong...i haven't watched it in a while.

Hope this helps -- good luck with the weather up there!

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Is there really that big a difference between: a Boone t-shirt - a CC Sucks t-shirt - a Suck It t-shirt ? The band will be selling the latter type before the games this weekend. Will this also be the "special present" Boone will be handing out to Let'sGoDU readers tomorrow night?

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Interesting press conference by Gwoz. He opened up talking about how a fan had said to him it must have been a really difficult season and went on to talk about how it hadn't been difficult--that it had been a really great season. He talked about KO's effort Saturday-7 shots and the game winner on a shortie. He talked about the importance of winning game one of a three game series and how everyone is healthy. I wonder how true that is? Last year we found out after the game in Albany that about 9 guys were seriously banged up. It's a long season so I'm sure there are guys hurting. It will be interesting to see how we look Friday. Can we bring that same playoff intensity we had last Saturday?

Re: All Things Denver XXX

By the way puck swami, I would like your thoughts on something. Didn't Northern Colorado just do what Denver is trying to do with 800K in basketball salaries. Get an NCAA bid and receive a ton of media and national exposure. The head coach there makes 85K. Its interesting to hear you talk about Gwoz's failures and how Scott (who has one winning season in the last seven years) had injuries this year. I know, I know Gwoz can't win a tournament game and we should let him go to Mich St.. I would rather be where Denver is (locked in the tournament) then were Wisco and Minny are, who have 3 times the resources of DU.

Re: All Things Denver XXX

From the DU website about Jay Z winning Rookie of the Year. Five of the nine went on to win the NCAA title.

Zucker is the ninth Pioneer to earn league Rookie of the Year honors, joining George Kirkwood (1960), Jack Wilson (1961), Keith Magnuson (1967), George Morrison (1969), Craig Redmond (1983), Dave Shields (1987), Rick Berens (1988) and Paul Stastny (2005). The Pioneers placed a program-best three players on the All-WCHA Rookie Team. DU's three All-WCHA second-team selections were the most since 1978 when Lex Hudson, Perry Schnarr and Greg Woods were named to the team. DU has landed a player on the All-WCHA Rookie Team for four consecutive seasons and six of the last seven seasons.

My thoughts:

-UNC had a good year and got hot at the right time. That $85K coach won't be at $85K for very long now...
-DU beat UNC this year. The programs aren't very far apart in terms of talent.
-UNC has far lower admission standards than DU does, and in basketball, where many of the best players come from low-level academic backgrounds, you can build a program faster if you have low academic thresholds as UNC does.
-DU was making steady progress under Scott until this season, where I believe injuries to key players were the big reason for DU's underachievement. It will be interesting to see how DU does next season, which will likely tell us how good a coach Scott is, but if DU does not make clear progress, I think Scott will be under some serious pressure.
-Personally, I think Gwoz is a great coach and it would be awful to see him go. I really hope DU does decide to lock him up to a great long term deal. But I also understand the school's current wait-and-see position. They aren't into shelling out more big bucks without NCAA tourney performance and or full houses at Magness, the two key areas that are in short supply over the last few years.

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Sorry to jump in here Swami. I didn't read prior posts. Is there talk of Gwoz leaving?

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Gwoz says he's happy at Denver, but wants a big contract extension, but DU has dragged its feet in giving him one, presumably due to the past six years of postseason/NCAA underachivement and declining attendance at DU. Additionally, openings at Michigan State and Penn State have increased speculation of a new offers for him.

I think we'll know a lot more by mid April. If DU gets an NCAA win or two, it increases Gwoz' leverage for a better deal. If they don't win in the NCAAs again, it will have been six years without NCAA success, and that would probably result in more unease in Pioneer land...


We'll have to see.
