Black- do we need as much black in our uniforms since out sports might not be on death watch with new coaches and new AD? I hope we get away from that color as much as we do use it! I hope the new AD makes us proud of Green again.
The kids go crazy for the black.

No, they don't. TCU>SMU>UNT as to the way each school's fans feel about the games.
TCU's rival has been Baylor lately. They could give a crap about SMU and view them as inferior. Just like SMU views UNT.
Uh ok.

So I guess TCU doesn't care about the SMU game because, same region.

Give us an idea of the types of things we would need to do in order to meet ESPN standards and compare that to what we likely have in place today.
I know for football they run 6 cams, which is what ESPN 3 prefers 4 minimum. The lenses they require 2 "40x" alone are upwards of 85k a pieces, that ain't going to happen. So I think they would let that slide. Lenses with doublers start out at 25k. A broadcast quality graphics machine starts out at 15k if they get a special deal. 30k for the minimum. Better cams at the most basic pro quality 15k. Additional routers 30k. Upgraded switcher 30k base level switcher. Additional ccu's for cams 20k a piece, shade stations not included. Additional fiber transmitters 10k. That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Numbers may not be completely accurate as I have not looked into it much. You plan on writing a check? Lol??

Lol sorry 500 thousand. Meant to type half a million. But they started from scratch. Which in a lot of ways is easier because you can get exactly what they need and not have to retrofit everything.

They care, this year, in the sense that they don't want to lose to what they consider a lesser opponent. And of course they want a win to set the tone for the season.
But they don't hate us. They don't point to this game year in and year out as a rivalry. Never have, never will. Which is fine, because neither do I. We need to schedule better than SMU.
Ok. If you say so.

Beat me to it. Thinking outside the box, we should be able to get this done, partner with campus department, offer that department's students an opportunity to earn practical experience and share the cost. If we can pay the Cowboys over $1 million, then we should be able to handle this.
I know they do utilize students, quite a bit actually and they pay them too. NTTV doesn't pay their students. It's all volunteer. If you didn't notice than the students must be doing ok. Most schools out source gameday productions . They don't. They made it a mission to train and give students hands on experience. Its much harder than you think to get the university and the media departments on board. Especially since athletics has to have separate budgets and money can't necessarily come from the university. I do know they've been trying for years to get the school and media colleges on board. Even so far as trying to get a special class created. I also know talks are progressing to get the Athletics department to where they need to be to be able to be an ESPN school. It's going to take a massive investment from a lot of people and not just from the ad. SFA spent over half a million to get them there. I watched some of those CUSA softball streams the athletics video dept produced and they are not far off. Conference even gave them props afterwards via Twitter. Many of the school in attendance were impressed with what they did with such a small team. So things may not be what you perseive them to be. Let's hope they get it all worked out. I'm curious if not having an ad could stall some of this.

Yep, so nothing special about that sign hanging in SMU's locker room other than we are their first game.
I don't know why some have such a need to be noticed by the Hilltop.
Nothing particularly special. But to say they don't care, I think is a little dishonest. Do you really think they want us; a team that went 1-11 fires their coach, has and AD that's stepping down, to beat them? A team that is in a better conference, has more resources and a "high profile coach." I just don't think so. Maybe they don't care about us in the way some people around here think they care about us, but maybe, just maybe they do. If they do, so what? What does it hurt? They care, one way or another.

Right. And the first game of the season is SMU.
Correct and the next one will say BC and so on.

If we played Butt Cookman first game, there would be a sign. It is about preparing for the first opponent.
Now, if we played SMU the second or third game of the season and that sign was hanging there, you would have a point.
We dont.
We have one in our locker room it's a game to game thing.

It's funny...a few years ago Kermit was criticized about like JJ was for not being able to get over the proverbial hump.
Congratulations Blue Raiders!
I hear their fans , at least as of the CUSA tourney, still weren't keen on him. Guess it's a personality thing and not a wins thing.

Thanks for the info. I personally consider content distribution separate from content creation as those are two very different skill sets, tools and systems. I'm guess the full screen on both devises and computers works only on the premium content and not the free, on demand content.
I'm hopeful either CBS will improve or CUSA will find a better provider. Again, it's not difficult to create your own CDN today IF you have a competent php programmer. What CBS might bring to the table is an easier place for the general public to search and find the links to the archived and live streaming material. But for G5 schools, the athletic departments themselves are the main supplier of the links people use. It's the same with ESPN 3 - it's easier for the general public to search, but with G5 content I'm sure more people follow links on either the school or conference websites, emails or texts.
Getting a video link in a text makes it EXTREMELY easy to watch an archive or steam on your phone. I will be vary curious to follow the number of views for this NCAA Basketball playoffs that's on mobile devices - especially for the women's games as those are sometimes harder to find.
They Definatley are separate, unfortunately in today's climate content creators are being asked to also be CDN Saavy. As far as free vs paid it works the same. Like I said my mobile devices iOS have had no issue playing free vs streamed in full screen. It's all archived and placed on the on demand portal. I know the stream is sent to CBSi for distribution and they encode for multiple platforms. Links are usually tweeted out. And are placed on the website calander as well. Should more of a push be made, yes absolutely. But a link is a link no matter what platform it's on. For people who follow the softball program for example and will pay for the service, they know where it is. In fact , I know the followers of SB drive most of their subscriptions. Of course it will vary by season since you can pay month to month or yearly. Unfortunately, it's rather expensive for an athletic program our size to not only produce but have the data streamed and archived. I don't think people realize how many events are streamed and produced by our students because by comparison it's rather good. I have heard ESPN 3 may be a possibility for next football season. But don't expect ESPN3 to be shelling out money for schools of our size to produce content like they have done for sec schools. A&Ms. 4 control rooms were mostly paid for by them. Remeber our game vs SMU was an espn3 game and a local truck was brought it to produce the game. I am hopeful a free distribution model will surface, but for now it must be paid service. If you pay for MGS service I believe you can get CUSA portal as well. Those that have mentioned fans would pay, that's not true in our case. Our fans only want free stuff. However,I do know MGS leads the conference in subscriptions, views and revenue brought in.

In a word, yuk.
I tried to show my wife, who loves softball, the free "Spring Fling Highlights." On my iPad and my Android phone, I got the pre-roll ad with Jeff Gordon. Then the NT story loaded and I got a play button. Pushing the button, I got the ad again and the story loaded with the play button. This morning I tried it on my desktop and it worked, but being 1990s Flash, it doesn't go full screen, even when using a Chromecast to send it to my TV. I'm underwhelmed by CBS Interactive.

To view content that was posted in the past or aired in the past you must go to the on demand portion ion of the portal. The highlights are a clean feed you won't get score bug or batter stats like the stream has. When I rotate my device it goes full screen. If you go to meangreensports front page any free video lives on the player below the rail. Should it be higher? Yup. Can the platform be better? Yup. But that's what C-USA contractor is. I know all schools are required to provide content for c-USA DN.m. Obviously anything that is premium, is paid content. You should see some of the other schools in our "price range" and what they do. Some is better but not by much, because they understand the money it takes and some are way worse. My understanding is there has been work to get the product better, is it where they want it to be? Of course not. I know the new director of media and his new assistant are Alumns and care about the product. And have been working hard. I know they would want it much better but it takes small steps and convincing. I do know the video department has made it a mission to use students from Media and Journalism to fill positions and use it to help supplement their education and they do get paid. So the product may get better or it may stay as good as the students they use and as much as the students want to take it and run with it. As far as the website, CBS is contracted by c-USA. The schools that are on another platform are there because they already had existing contracts when they were added to the league.

I was in high school while Abe Lemons was the Pan Am coach. They had some great teams back then and Lemons always had a great quote in the paper. He could do a lot with limited resources but never had a consistent winner after he went to UT. Another example of a winning coach not being able to transfer his success.
As for Renosa, a yes, I knew it well, even in high school. It was fairly safe back then. When I was at NT, as friends would talk about the first time taking the car without parents permission, or staying out all night, I'd mention the first time I left the country without my parents permission. It was amazing that so few people in Denton could grasp the idea that it was just under 30 from a bar in Mexico to my bed at home. Wouldn't dream of going accross today.
I went to EHS. I know exactly what you mean about leaving the country.

MGB: Key questions UNT's new AD will face Part II -- Find a way to build support
in Mean Green Football
Posted · Edited by filmerj
It seems so simple, Why dind't the AD think of that before? Oh wait they have. It's has been done. For years actually. For example, "military appreciation night" last year, faculty and staff appreciation night, there was also a DAYFL game and A CIS game also happened, that was just last season. And they all were paid for by sponsors at a discount so they dind't even have to lose money completely. At some point people who have been given those tickets have to use them. Just because the wing didn't get filled doesn't mean tickets weren't given away. I've said this in another thread. Things may not always be as you perseive them to be. Just because you didn't know about it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
