Has anyone tried to get a wireless connection at Fouts. :ph34r: Told ya, don't laugh. I was curious because of the recent web page I made (and posted earlier).

My intention was to update the score real-time while I listen to away games from teh comfort of my office at home, but also during home games. However, with my acquiring of season tickets, I wondered if I might be able to update this page from the stands, for those not able to attend the game (i.e. during randon stoppages of play, timeouts, etc.).

I wasn't sure if other on this board have attempted this before, so thought I'd ask. Like I said, I probably know the answer since Fouts is ancient.

Thanks for humoring me... now go cleap up that puddle under your chair from your laughing. :)

We couldn't get a signal last summer during two-a-days. I do have a verizon wireless aircard and it will work close to anywhere and pretty fast, but that might be your only option.

In case anyone was wondering, I did try this site with the Iphone, and it works beautifully. It would be nice if they did have Wi-Fi at Fouts, you could make live posts from the game.

I'd be willing to bet there is Wi-Fi in Norman at the game, and gulp...........at Ford Stadium too.

I can get cell phone coverage at the stadium (or at least I did last year I got calls from the wife during the game). Get a good WiFi card and service and I would think you could.

As far as the NCAA not wanting bloggers covering the game, I think I saw an article on that in SI last week or two. Didn't read it at the time thought.

It wasn't the $500 price tag that kept me from buying the iPhone, nor the 2 year contract with AT&T adding up to almost $1500, and no, not the the lack of 3g connectivity. It was the fear of this site not displaying properly. Thanks!

HANG UP THE PHONES AND ENJOY THE GAME...for goodness (or whatever word you want to insert) sakes! Nothing worse than some yahoo talking on a cell phone sitting beside you while trying to watch the game...it's usually about something totally NOT IMPORTANT! Let's watch the game and let others do the same...I'm O.K. if you want to step out to the concourse or something, but please hang 'em up and turn 'em off if your sittin' in the stands. :blink:

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
