I thought the color commentary was pretty weak tonight, does anybody know if Jake Sullivan will be working for CTN this year?
 
Nope. Jake backed out right before the season two years ago. That's why you saw a whole host of characters in that seat, including Jim Hallihan and Kelly (Cizek) Hanfelt.
 
Cyclone Radio is like hot apple pie ala mode. Cyclone Television is like chewing on cardboard. I need to rig up a delay of about 5 seconds on my TV feed so it synchs with the radio.
 
Never fear, I'm sure Paul Splitdorf(sp) and Dave Armstrong(WOW!) will be back in the saddle later on in the season. Last season we had the JV squad doing games early on as well.
 
The only time you'll hear Wow or Split would be for a Big 12/ESPN+ game.
 
Wow Wow Wow! Thanks Dave... I don't mind Kelly, although they need show her on TV more.
 
I thought BJ Schaben was alright. I remember he used to do local radio in Ames, the morning sports updates or something. His signature sign off was "that sports and I'm BJ Schaben" or something like that He always seemed like an insightful and classy guy. I believe he filled in after Pete Taylor passed away too. I was pulling he'd get the job, but John's done pretty well. It's good to see him visibly involved in Cyclone athletics again.
 
I need to rig up a delay of about 5 seconds on my TV feed so it synchs with the radio.

You know 101.1 is about 5 seconds ahead of 100.3. The BUS has a delay, so you could listen to the game on a different station. OR, you could get a DVR and watch the game through that, which also has about a 5 second delay.
 
I agree about the analyst. Didn't think he was very good. I don't mind B.J. Schaben that much.

The other thing I didn't like was their opening and graphics. Looked like something out of the mid-1990s to me.
 
If anyone watched the Iowa-N. Colorado game, they would be thankful for our CTN guys.

First there was Mac McCausland (his suckiness goes without saying) but the real "treat" was Wayne Larivee calling Dan Bohall "Bohill" all night, mixing up Looby and Gorney numerous times (they look a lot alike?) and referencing the "Crow's Nest". Painfully funny.
 
Hey I got to watch the cyclones on television so I'm not going to complain. When its just a local broadcast I'm not expecting world class anouncing
