Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 5482459, member: 27"] I listened to the taped show today. Some general comments: I was disappointed that the video was not posted on youtube. Pretty sure I could have gotten a transcript for it if it was. I was disappointed it was not close captioned. The audio for Matt and Coach Brown was good but it was hard to understand any of the questions from users calling in, which is bad because that constitutes most of the show. There was video from Meier’s Creek but it was one camera that never moved and they never went to tape or showed any additional info or graphics. This was clearly a radio show that had a camera running. The segments that went to and from commercials were pretty disjointed and radio oriented. And there were a lot of them and they were long. 2 1/2 minutes long. They were roughly shown every 8 minutes, though near the end, they had two within 5 minutes of each other. When they went to commercial, the video just showed a screen showing Learfield sports and Syracuse and silenced the mics. 2 1/2 minutes of dead air and a static image. For about 1/3 th show. That was it. Maybe they will eventually insert commercials at some point. Or put in some trivia questions? The ideal solution would be to remove these gaps before posting the video to YouTube (and add in close captions at this point as well). That would at least give people listenng in a chance to understand the call in questions. Anyway, I don’t have much on the questions that were asked from users. From what I could hear most of the questions were pretty inane, and not of much interest to the people on this board. Someone did call in and ask about how Darien Williams from CBA was doing. Coach Brown said Darien was really fast and if healthy, he probably would be playing Saturday. Probably should be noted e called him Darren not Darien. Said all the CBA kids were well prepared and impressive. Said Daunte was working at WR (not TE), was doing well there and would stay here. He is also apparently excelling on special teams. And he mentioned Matt Hawn was one of 8 OL in line to play Saturday. He didn’t guarantee he would but he is at least one of the top 8 OL right now, which is remarkable. Coach Brown talked early about Tennessee. Called most of their players by their first names. Was very complimentary of their talent an said he was thrilled to get a chance to play against a playoff level team early in the season. Matt asked Fran if he learned anything from his first year of coaching? Fran said yes. Said you don’t want to start preparing for an opponent too early, because the team stops paying attention after a while. Also Matt started criticizing the Yanks and said they were more of a DIRT than a DART team (where the I was for each person and not accountable) and Fran just pointed out that he didn’t say anything about the Yanks and this was all on Matt.
