SBC Broadcast with Dan McDonald

[ZoomZoom]

Ok, if that's the case, why doesn't he use Louisiana on "The Rage"? Or KPEL broadcasts? No one in that building is telling him he can't use Louisiana.

I fully agree with you on that. I do not speak for Dan.

I hate to say it, but in his other jobs, it may be like cursing on the air and have a price to pay for it. So you just don't do it. That's a question should Jay or someone get him in an interview of some type. Pure speculation.

[Turbine]

Probably not if he wants to keep getting hired by the Sunbelt.

Dan can use Louisiana if he so desires.

The Sun Belt's official stance is "it is our intention that each university will be referred to as they wish."

Dan is doing as he is instructed BY HIS EMPLOYER. As we all would if it was our job that put food on the table.

Do you think his employer restricts him from utilizing "Ragin Cajuns" or "Cajuns"?

Yes and we told them UL-L

[Turbine]

Yes and we told them UL-L

Eric Martin should have never got involved with his off the cuff suggestion

[CajunDreDog]

If you know the Sunbelt higher ups, He was told to use UL Lafayette, remember, we don't want ulm and lsu calling the governor and complaining. I give him the benefit of the doubt. I also caught him almost call us UL but had to add Lafayette. It is funny.
Hey, he did a good job. No crowd noise makes it sound really dead.
Atta boy Dan for what you had to work with.
Geaux Cajuns

My .02, I agree.

The SBC not to rustle feathers is going to use

Louisiana = UL Lafayette
ULM = UL Monroe

I'm willing to say this is not Dan's doing, but this is what he is instructed to do. We go through this EVERY YEAR come tournament time.

I don't think he is restricted in any way shape or form.

Media peer pressure is strong with this one

Not correct Turbine, the SBC implicitly demands that Dan McDonald abide by their rules when calling games on their network. It's their broadcast and they own the rights, they do not have to follow these guidelines for their own productions and content.

I didn't watch all of the games online yesterday, but I watched little bits and pieces. I can't recall him calling anyone by their mascot. All I heard was Troy, South Alabama, UL Lafayette, UT Arlington, etc.

He's probably doing what he is instructed to do.

Call the games, and use these terms to name the schools. It's prob not just us, but the SBC is trying, and REALLY HARD at that, to not rustle ANY feathers!!!

Urban legend.

Show me a link to a stance different than the Sun Belt link I provided that was directly quoting Karl Benson.

I'm telling you what was told to me by the SBC, Dan McDonald and what I have observed. You can call it urban legend but the statement link you posted mentioned nothing about their own productions and content.
