Vermilion & White Game Saturday.

[CajunIke]

Wingerter was on Jay's show, said that the game will be on CST/ESPN3 and there is only a 2 hour window for the broadcast. They spoke with Perillo and were told there is strong possibility for thunderstorms towards the end of the game and don't want to miss out on the broadcast. Also stated it will be an opportunity to promote the fact that we are 1 of 2 in the state and only program in the conference with an IPF to fall back on. He said it is a work in progress on logistics,but anticipate railings to separate fans from the field and they will only play in 1 direction to allow more fans to enter. I'm not sure how much they will shorten the field. He also said it would be a limited capacity to coincide with fire code, and would be on a first come first served basis. Obviously paraphrasing from memory

You are a paraphraser extraordinaire.

Broadcasting and streaming the spring game is big time.

The decision was based on the possibility of lightning which would force a delay, which, in turn, would send CST to broadcast fishing reruns.

Having it indoors solidifies the telecast, which is obviously very important to the program.

It is also scheduled to be on the radio (1420), but softball could play havoc with that depending on teh weather in (beautiful) Boone.

Isn't softball usually moved to 960 when there is a conflict?

[Big Buds]

This is yet another sign that this isn't your daddy's USL...feels good.

When there is a conflict with baseball, yes. But not football practice.

The decision was made that the in-season sport gets priority.

Also, it helps to show off our facility.

coaches can get much better evaluation not playing in a driving rain with 30mph winds.

Thanks. I wish softball was on FM and more accessible. It's by far the most successful and consistent sport, seems like it should have priority.
