UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

That actually happened at the wonderful Madison rink Hartmeyer over the weekend.

Asbestos falling from the ceiling at Hartmeyer?? All I ever see are paint chips falling!!
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

I've said it before, but I still think Charter Extra is nonsense.

Why? Because they televise EXTRA Badger hockey games that normally wouldn't be on televison. Yeah, sounds terrible. :cool:

I sooooo agree. About a month ago, I had no sound on charter extra:confused: and I watched a hockey game with no sound :mad:

Would you rather watch a Badger game on TV with no sound, or not watch a Badger game?
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

I see Connolly, Connolly, and Fontaine played together both games this weekend. Have they been playing together all season?

No, they have been together for the past few months. Previously it was Fontaine-Jacky-Fulton/Danberg and then MCON was sort of shuffled with randoms. If our second line of Schmidt-Oleksuk-Bordson is intact (Schmidt was injured against Mankato and I thought was going to be back this weekend but am getting conflicting reports) then we shall see.
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

Should be one of the premiere match ups of the weekend. I suspect tUMD will bounce back and catch the Badgers sleeping after nabbing three points from us.
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

So, no tv this weekend on any FoxSports channels, or BTN, etc? Nothing?
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

Just curious, why is it nonsesne? I am hopefull this week's games will be on the Extra channel.

Isn't that the one where the production quality is... not so great? For the one game I've watched on Charter extra, I kind of prefer radio.

Yeah, there was 1 game, I think it was at St. Cloud, the audio quality was horrible at for a large part of the broadcast. I just turn it down and did my own commentary. Other than that 1 game it's been alright.

St. Cloud's pre and post game "studio" show is kind of comical. The guy does alright, but his gal sidekick stumbles around like VW posts here. I for the life of me don't know why St. Cloud has a girl doing their color commentary of the game. Her voice is kind of deep. It'a a bit disconcerting. ;)

Its bad. But it is on and you don't have to pay extra. As UMD fan, who doesn't have his team on very often appreciates it.
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

Yeah, Charter Extra, the quality is, well, not great, but it is better than having nothing at all. The SCSU games had large portions that were missing audio, and the Minnesota State games sounded like the play-by-play was being piped through a CB radio into a telephone, then into a crappy soundboard. It's not like the broadcasts are professional ones, they're done by the school or another local school (probably piped on the area public access channel and Charter Extra/Mainstreet) from what I remember, and overall it was more watchable than some of the webstreams I've paid for. Don't have Charter anymore, so I'll have to stick to hearing the play-by-play on the radio.

On a more related note... This series is going to be epic... But when it's all said and done, we're going to skate to two ties.

I have one word for you. Radio.

Even though the radio and TV were like 10 seconds out of sync, it was way, way better than no video at all. I found that game by surfing through all the undocumented channels my TV can get. It was up in some ridiculous part of the spectrum (I wish I had written down what channel it was). So, if it's really on Charter Extra again, and if I can get it again, I'm happy. This is a big series. I even heard somewhere the winner wins the McNaughton Cup.

Along the top side of the wall where people throw paper airplanes into.....A large part of that fell this weekend. The cloud of "dust" it formed was pretty sick.
 
Re: UW vs UMD... no outrageous predictions this week.

I know I shouldn't be complaining, and at least it's on some sort of television. I could honestly care less about the quality as long as it's on tv.
I do think it's "nonsense" though because I think it's a money grab by Charter, there's no need to put it on 87, they have other channels to put it on that don't require a cable box (and the extra monthly fee).

Everything Charter does is a money grab. They had to get themselves out of bankrupcy somehow. :D
