The New 2013 FB Season

[KL31NY]

28-0, early 2nd quarter. 50+ yard pass to set up the latest score. This Greg Hardin guy is really good.

Anyone able to view this game on the Big Sky network?  I am having trouble, and it appears I installed everything that was required, because the demo video functions.

No luck on the live video broadcast of the game. Now that I have heard that Valpo still has no defense or special teams I'm pretty sure I don't want to watch it. You have to wonder what goes on during those practices. There's no need for at PAT kicker if you can't score and the defense can't stop their offense at all.

USC 27 -UNC 10 in the 4th. Q. VU is getting clobbered and I don't mean Vanderbilt U. Pathetic.

Listening to North Dakota radio via TuneIn. Met Paul Ralston, one of their broadcasters, last year for a basketball game I covered. Great guy, though he was suspended for two games last basketball season for using "choke job" in a post-game interview with the head coach after a tough loss.

Also of note about UND, they won't have a nickname again until 2015. North Dakota used to be the "Fighting Sioux" until the NCAA helped pressure the school to drop the moniker. When the nickname was discontinued, a new state law promoted a "cooling off" period until a new moniker would officially be adopted.

Hopefully the real USC will not falter tonight at the grungy Aloha Stadium...

BTW, perhaps Valpo should play a school from Hawaii.  A road trip there will help recruiting...

35-0, in favor of the former Sioux....

we need a 20-20 second half and I will have picked the score!  That would be great after having a hellacious day.

35-0 North Dakota _________ over the Valparaiso Crusaders at halftime

[bbtds]

This first half proves that Carlson has made no progress at all with this Valpo football team. I hope our AD starts looking for a new head coach immediately so he has his ducks in a row at the end of the season. Or will Carlson even complete this season?

[usc4valpo]

Dude, I want to agree with you, but this game is men against boys.  You knew this was coming up.

[KL31NY]

So it's 42-0 now? Just heard North Dakota returned a kickoff for a touchdown to open the half. Just rejoined the coverage during the Crusaders' possession

As was mentioned by several posters on this board the team was improving. I specifically remember a quote that said "how could they be any worse." To me they are losing badly to a team that was fair to poor in a decent football conference and that actually shows regression and not improvement. Valpo is actually worse. 

[KL31NY]

Valpo on the board!!! Muffed punt gives the Crusaders another chance and Valpo barely clears the bar on a field goal! It's now 42-3 North Dakota early in the 3rd quarter.

UND radio originally announced Pando, but they've backtracked and said it was Young.

They probably watched tape from last season - looks the same play still works.

Carlson will complete the season.  As long as this team shows some improvement, he'll most likely be back.

Dissapointed that the WVUR radio stream is not working.  Needed a Todd fix with no success. 

[KL31NY]

Jake Miller, referred to on UND's latest scoring play as a "ballerina" by UND radio, adds another touchdown. 49-3 North Dakota in the third

I've heard that the issue is with Valpo IT. Summer changes might have inadvertently rerouted the webcast output, wouldn't be the first time that's happened. #ItsITsFault

TOUCHDOWN VALPO! Lehman to Gladney! 49-10 North Dakota late in the 3rd

It can't be all that inexpensive to send Todd and crew on these trips, you would think this would be worked out before the actual broadcast, sparing VU the embarrassment of the silent broadcast.

[KL31NY]

North Dakota scores again. 56-10 UND. I'm calling it a night. Hope I miss some good things. Take care, everyone!

[bbtds]

North Dakota 66
Valpo 10

I'm sure valpotx is rooting for no more scoring in this game.

[vu72]

I couldn't get the video or Todd.  Suppose there is a bright spot or two but hard to imagine.  clearly outclassed.

[rink]

69-10 is your final.

[willy]

More of the same old stuff.  No defense, UND only stopped themselves with a missed FG and a fumble. 11 of there 13 drives scored. Terrible special teams play, and the same old offense with throws to the running back. Was hoping for a score like 37-17 not another embarrassing blowout.

Man, I was really hoping it wouldn't be as bad as my guess lol.  Hopefully the guys enjoyed playing a team with scholarship players, so that they get a reality check in regards to where we need to be to contend for a playoff spot, and take it out on competition we should be able to compete and win against.

The issue was not on WVUR's end. The WVUR webcast was working properly in that everything was being sent correctly from the on-air board to the media encoder that packages the stream. The problem was with the audiocast.valpo.edu link that the University assigned. Over the summer the servers were changed and WVUR's website was affected as well as the stream. Both are visible and able to work on campus, but are not visible off campus. I personally tested the webcast late last week on campus and it worked fine. It was never apparent that there would be a difference in the performance between on-campus and off-campus computers. WVUR and University staff worked throughout the day on Thursday to address the concerns and will continue to do so on Friday.
