If there is a way for folks to watch the replays of those games on the 'net, that would be great!

I could go into a long list of reasons why I think this will never happen, but suffice to say that the cost is greater than the benefit. Basically it's an unnecessary expense and even if UAH were willing to cough up the video and the rights (highly unlikely) it'd take a dedicated supporter to archive them, provide hosting, and streaming capacity. While bandwidth continues to get cheaper, and there are ways to mitigate the financial costs, it's still a labor cost that isn't practical given the likely usage.

Actually, if I could get my hands on the video, I think I have an idea of how I could do it. Yes, there would be costs associated, but I'm sure that we could work that out.

The main problem is going to be what is contractually prohibited by B2/America One. I'm quite sure that they have non-compete clauses.

I don't know a thing about YouTube (other than the fact I can get lost for hours on there if not careful ), but there is one full BSU/Niagara game (at an hour and a half long) there:

You could always ask about doing that...

GFM <-- has the rest of the goals for the weekend, save Mac Roy's PPG, and is waiting for that to get the rest of them up there.

Re: Declaring Our Independence: UAH 2010-11, Part the First

Just digging out some "wierd" stats from this past weekend's games that you might find interesting...

Here are some stats on Goals, Assists, and Points awarded in the FSU / UAH series:
Scoring, Assists, and Points by Class:
---- G - A - Pts
Sr > 0 - 3 - 3
Jr=> 0 - 2 - 2
So > 2 - 4 - 6
Fr=> 3 - 0 - 3

From these stats it's nice to see that all classes are contributing to the scoring; the four Sophomores were very active; and it's especially nice to see the Freshmen contributing early.

Goals Scored by Line: In the order the goals were scored (based on published line chart)
Goal 1 = 2nd Offensive Line => 22-Geoffrion 26-Cseter 21-Desmet
Goal 2 = 2nd Defensive Pairing => 14-Gatt 23-deBruyn
Goal 3 = 3rd Offensive Line => 12-Roy 27-Bruni 18-Way
Goal 4 = 2nd Defensive Pairing => 14-Gatt 23-deBruyn
Goal 5 = 3rd Offensive Line => 12-Roy 27-Bruni 18-Way

From this it appears to me that our third line in Friday's game had the advantage over Ferris State's third line and our second defensive pairing has a decidedly offensive mindset...

Four different players scored goals...
Seven different players had assists...
Eleven different players earned points in the two games.
Of note are Sophomore Justin Cseter with 3 assists (half of the Sophomore points) and Freshman Mac Roy with 2 goals (two-thirds of the Freshmen points).

So we got some local coverage today...that's a switch.

Can you spot the error? Yes, I've already e-mailed the station to correct it.

4-1 was Thursday's score, not Friday's. ROOKIES.

Oh goodie... a new format to learn and get used to...

It's got a too soft and squishy look to me... not MANLY!!!

This is HOCKEY... not the knitting circle.

I know, can't please everyone. To me, this format is not as clear and well defined as the previous one. I don't think this one is an improvement as the others have been. JMHO

I must be getting old then. I have been surfing these posts during my midmorning break and I have a headache. I can tell it is the new format because my eyes hurt here. On other sites (work, news, etc) that I looked at just now, the hurt stops. Making some adjustments on fonts and I think I will get used to it.

Re: Declaring Our Independence: UAH 2010-11, Part the First

It's likely a modification off of the new vB default theme. Having run a Web forum since 2002, I can tell you that making your own theme is a pain in the rear.

That makes two of us, I can't say I like this new format either. I realize Geof is right about making custom formats is a pain in the tail, but this one just doesn't feel right. Maybe they'll tweak it a little and give it back a few of the harder lines. Though I can't say I like the type box either, and it's missing the smiley options. Bummer. (Hover explanations for the tools would be good for the noobs, or the forgetful.)

EDIT: Ok, definitely do not like. It's not meshing with my browser as well now.

It's missing the smiley options.

Hit 'Go Advanced'

I just told my browser to adjust +.5 font size on everything that is in *board.uscho.com* and things are MUCH better. Lines are more definate.

Now this is firefox, when I get home I will have to figure out the settings there on that 'puter.

Re: Declaring Our Independence: UAH 2010-11, Part the First

I'm on a client's computer so I don't use the "Remember Me" function and...
1. I logged in to see the posts in the format I have previously set and...
2. I clicked to make this post which puts you in quick-post mode now so I then clicked "Go Advanced" so I could format things and it made me login again! What's with that???

I don't like the quick-post mode putting the entry box at the bottom of the page. I want it above the post I am usually responding to or at the top of the last post. I now have to enter Advanced mode to get to that configuration. I'd like the option to "skip" the quick-post mode since I usually do some kind of formatting in nearly every post which now requires you to "Go Advanced" to use formatting. I couldn't find such an option in my profile settings. Has anyone else wanted or found such an option?

Yeah Mikey, us old people hate change... especially when "If it ain't broke..." applies. And it wasn't broke!!! I wonder if they had overwhelming e-mail requests for a quick-post mode??? I remember them saying that after the last major overhaul that their goal was to make practically everything one click away. Well, to post with formatting they have missed the boat.

Okay, I'll put my soapbox away now and go to the corner and sulk... sniff... sniff...

PS- In the amount of time it took to type up this post it timed out my login again!!!!
I had to browse back a page so I could copy this post and then login again and then post again pasting my previous typing in and adding this postscript. I wonder if I'm logged out by now...

PSS- Yep, I was logged out again... here goes...

How is Burkholder doing?

Any news on the currently ineligible guys?

Re: Declaring Our Independence: UAH 2010-11, Part the First

Actually, I bet the improvements to the underpinnings are what USCHO wanted. I expect that the new version is lighter on server resources, and this place can get pretty busy and doesn't exactly make them any money.

Ryan told me on Monday that he was feeling better than expected. I don't know about eligibility on either Lasse or Soup. Been jobhunting this week so I haven't had the time to spend on hockey that I did last week.

Sounds like fun to me!!! Even though I get the Knology Sports Pak it's always more fun to watch a game with a bunch of like-minded fans... plus there's some nice scenery at KnuckleHeads... Count me in!
