Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

It was a mutual disgust of games not being on video for no reason. Same interest as any other. I watch every SEC/area team, every game(i have lots of screens). So also found it annoying the UF games werent on, which was subject I replied to. Think you ask this type of question every year for last 10 years btw..

 

I have to keep you on your toes. LOL-Are you retired like me?

 

for the most part. work when I choose..lol

 

No. It is UCF announcers including our very own Francesca Enea. As for why the entire USF tournament is not on ESPN+, that is because that is what USF decides to do each and every year. They broadcast only their own games and ignore the rest of the tournament. ESPN can't air what the cameras aren't showing.

 

The guy said we 30 times in 2 games.. tuned the other one out lol

but regardless why the UCF tourney and not the USF, when already doing USF games.. just weird

 

I'm sorry but I don't understand why you don't buy it. Nothing happens without the proper infrastructure. If the production facility is subpar compared to others, and it is explained that way, why don't you believe it???? If one provider provides a limited 10 channels and another 150, do you simply not believe the one providing 10 can't do better? Of course they could from a technology standpoint if they spent the money to upgrade their product. We could too....for $10 million.

 

Because UCF makes a good decision and USF makes a bad one.

 

Same reason they arent showing softball on Fri 2/17,, only baseball going on that day, nothing else that I see. JMO .. they choose not to. That doesnt prove they can do more than 2.. just proves excuse isnt valid that day. UF has never had 3 SEC event on same day before?? I dont even think its an option to not show those,,as far the sports were talking about. Just for example SEC baseball, SEC softball, SEc gym ,and lets add a home NIT bball game.. I might lose but Id bet bank everyone is on app at minimum

And main reason, at least AU wise, and sound similarly easy for UF. .. if the reason was legit , its a simple fix , and have done nothing in 5+ years.

 

More than likely because baseball is playing all weekend and women's basketball is playing on Sunday and those two are taking priority. I've said it over and over. I don't know what else I can do.

 

Whats that have to do w/ Friday? Cant squeeze in at least one?? lol

So youre saying if UF has 3 or more home SEC events on same day, only 2 will get video? I swear Ive seen this before , but maybe not. If so , then yeah youre(UF) alone there.. Like I said didnt even think it was an option to not produce conference games. Other(visiting)fans losing their minds and all.

 

Again. We are talking about February. We do broadcast all conference games. And, yes, only two will get broadcast and they don't have to be on the exact same day...just the same weekend. See what I said about changing venues and a worn out production and camera crew. Once March rolls around, gymnastics and basketball no longer provide the conflicts and we get all of the softball games.

 

It doesnt happen often , but you could have gym &/or bball(post season) at home same day as SEC baseball / softball. And Id bet theyd all be on..again I might lose..lol

The wornout crew etc is juts an excuse IMO..hire more.. Thats all I was saying.. no reason other than dont want to to not show softball on Friday. JMO

The AU excuse for basketball eliminating any other production that day is , even though espn/network brings there own crap obviously..and crew also crap(lol) they take up to much of the 'production room" .. So its a space issue. Ok thats an excuse year 1.. money grows on trees at AU,,build a bigger one!! 6 years later its part of planned facilty upgrades starting soon...yippie.

Do home games on CBS count against the limit of 2?? lol serious question

 

Is anyone going tomorrow? Our crew will be there and also Sunday.

 

Driving up from Stuart. Hope the rain holds off.

 

But the really big "SportsCenter-worthy" story from the game today is that, in her second year as a Gator (she's red shirted after playing in 19 games last year), Christina Wellen has a perfect batting average at 1.000 over those two years and is credited for an RBI. The team went absolutely wild and Wellen was seemed stoked at first base.

Seriously, it was cool of CTW to give her an AB. With the score 20-0 and the rain coming, he may have been trying to hand Illinois an out, but Wellen had a different idea.

 

Why is the USF game postponed?

 

Good question. I am hearing that too and I have no idea why. Weather report doesn't seem to be the problem.
