Lowell, 2016 Off-Season Thread

Re: Lowell, 2016 Off-Season Thread

Hey all, first time long time. Does anyone know what has happened to the radio deal? Heard that ESPN NH will not carry games this season from hockey or basketball. The atheltics website also lists only WCAP. This seems like a big step backwards for exposure/coverage.

Just speculating, but maybe because of low ratings? Many of those who visit this board have complained about the signal quality from that station. Personally I don't think its a big deal. I hope the this also means WUML will simulcast the broadcast again. The one thing I'ill miss is Norm's weekly interview with that station because they would post the audio online.

On paper it might be a step back, but the guys they had doing basketball were atrocious. Didn't realize that when they were in commercial on radio they were still live on the Americaeast.tv stream. There were times they ripped on the crowd/athletic department during games (led to some fun conversations on the AE basketball forum site).

Does this mean I can delete the ESPN radio App. Hooray.

The school announced the ESPN contract extension on Oct. 2nd last year, so I suppose there is a chance they could still renew it.

Vote for the 1967-1977 All Era team. I guess I'll have to wait a month or so till we hit Era's I was born in ;)

Also in the release

In addition to the voting and collector's glass giveaways, the season will feature a number of tributes at select games, a new third jersey in a throwback style (to be worn first December 9 vs. Merrimack) and more. The 50th Anniversary logo was unveiled in July at the annual Season Ticket Member BBQ and has been installed at center ice to commemorate the anniversary all season long.

That's all I got... I heard nothing definitive other than a vague statement. Note that what I heard and what Scott said doesn't contradict.

I was given no affirmations... Let's just say something was suggested about a certain 5-letter 4-letter word.

Edit: this was an implied thing based on response to a statement I made so I don't even know if it's true
