3ADL Broadcast & Media Experience

[Bullaholic]

How many 3ADL posters are currently in, or have had, broadcast, or electronic or printed media experience? Even announcing games? Seems like we have quite a few.

[Txbroadcaster]

of course me and Gsquared

[RoyceTTU]

Does my weekly movie count, other than that I have a whopping 0 experience. :D :D :D

[lulu]

Me. I used to announce our track meets and keep stats for the announcers at games. Not really what I call announcing though. But what I did was fun.

[Emerson1]

I do. World's greatest stat man.

I tried that once...too many people hollering at me when I was busy watching the game and forgot to start or stop the clock!!!

Might you do any next Friday or Saturday at Cowboys? I'll be there.

[Bullaholic]

Who decides which station or broadcast team calls a game? How about teams without contracts?

all depends on stations in that town's area..if no contract then they are up for grabs..someties by regional radio stations and websites and sometimes byt state ones

I think the UIL has to grant a contract to do a state title game right?

not really..u just have to agree to run the commericals the UIL provided( from TSRN)..other than that the UIL does not care unless a conflict arises( two stations or sites saying they have the rights) then it goes to whichever one the school says is there broadcast OR if enough space UIL wont care as long as agian the proper commercials are run

If we get a big lunch M&G going for the 3A-DII final at an Arlington restaurant---you and G2 going to do a "pirate" 3ADL remote complete with poster interviews? :D

[Matthew328]

Thats' actually not a bad idea...lunch at airways before the game!

[Emerson1]

That would actually be pretty cool. I know there is a Buffalo Wild Wings within walking distance and a Hooters right near it. BWW is always up for hosting stupid things like this and they provide free wi-fi.

[BaseballUmp]

I did play by play for a jv baseball game in high school one time haha that was fun...

Also I did a baseball tourney at Bombers in CS in between shifts of umpiring...shoulda got paid for that lol

I too tried running the clock at a basketball game once...not very effective lol

[Keith7]

I've been in print media for three years now. I'm much more professional IRL than on here as I am sure you guys can imagine.

[Matthew328]

99% of the people who post are NOTHING like they are in real life as compared to their online personalities...its weird

A couple of us have talked about it, Matt---guess we ought to put a thread up requesting Arlington M&G lunch sites, and then put a poll up with the best suggestions, and go with the winner. It would be great if we could find a place that would put seating together for 30-40 or so, or even provide a private meeting room at no charge for a guaranteed minimum no. of diners.

Right, I'm actually a complete douchebag in real life lol

[bobcat1]

I've helped on a couple of games this year and liked it.:D I was called to fill in for a guy and they asked me back the following week. It was a blast. I think I would like to do more of it in the future.

[Gsquared]

Im the same too

[Matthew328]

As far as the guys I've met from the site TXB and G2 are pretty much the same...gotta give them credit...I'm actually very shy and reserved in real life.

[Txbroadcaster]

yea I am pretty much the same on here as on the air and in real life.

[Matthew328]

Really?? Man I feel bad now :(

[Txbroadcaster]

Ranger Mom knows G and I are the same..when we went and Saw LH vs Bwood Grant and I basically called the game in the stands lol

[kaorder1999]

i did for a few years!

[kaorder1999]

That's no lie! I was able to keep up more and know what was going on in THAT game than any other game I have ever seen!!!

I agree. The women I have met seem to be pretty much what I expected from reading their posts. A lot (not all but most) of the men I have met are very quiet and act shy in person. I'm not sure why that is, but anyway...

Also...back to the thread topic....there is a possiblity that I will get a shot at broadcasting this spring. If I do, then I will be sure NOT to tell any of you, because I don't think I could handle the criticism!! ;)

My media experience is limited to the Accounting side - worked for a newspaper for close to 12 years and an ad agency for about the same length.

I kinda thought that about you when I met you at Texas Stadium once. I thought you would be real outgoing or maybe I forgot my deodorant that day. :D

I know the smack and nonsense gets pretty heavy on here from time-to-time, but how come we don't hear from a guy with your pedigree more on some of the game discussions?
