(SB) Ongoing UF Softball Commentary

All of those 18 games for SEC teams involve multiple conflicts but they get them done. We broadcast the Duke game when there was also baseball and gymnastics so it can be done but we are choosing not to broadcast softball. The Okie State/Nebraska game is at a Wichita State tournament and it does not appear they are broadcasting any of that tournament so we are comparable to Wichita State. The LSU/Notre Dame game is at the Judi Garmin Classic in California. Flosoftball used to broadcast that Classic but haven't the last two years for some reason. That is actually at the Cal State Fullerton field and Cal State is broadcasting their games since their game with LSU was on yesterday. But apparently only their own games ala USF. BTW...McClain appears to have blown me off....Ocala too. I sent him an email a week ago with my specific understanding of the issues involved and asked him to call. He replied he "appreciated it and would follow-up at my number". Never heard from him. Sent him a snarky email this morning telling him I'm sorry I missed his call but I can watch the other 18 SEC televised games today but not ours.

 

Our game will be delayed. Stamford and Troy are 3-2 but only in the bottom of the fifth.

 

There is good news and bad news with this tv business and, fortunately, I'm done with it for another miserable February. The good news is once we get through this no tv cupcake weekend, everything else through the end of the season will be televised in one place or another. The bad news is, contrary to everything I believed up to now, that we get the worst home broadcasting in the league and it is not the result of a bad broadcasting facility. They messed up by broadcasting the Duke game at the same time as baseball and gymnastics. The have now proven to me that they can do it for every softball game and that they don't do it because they are intentionally screwing the softball program and its fans. That is now, IMO, a fact.
