Yeats is a terrific goalie.

He played against the Wildcatters in 04-05(I think it was the New Year's game).

Tough opponent, so I'm glad to see he's on our side now!

[KFDM COOP]

Awesome. I think the Wildcatters coach is going to be on next Sunday's Sports extra.

[hockeyfan]

That would be great!

I've been watching every Sports Extra.

And I'd bet a beer that the signing does not get mentioned on the 6 or 10pm sports

[hockeyfan]

I e-mailed several people at the different stations.

If this story doesn't get some GOOD coverage, then..well...I will just have to try harder. :x

You can send mine to 12, I have a graphic on it for 6 and 10 tonight, I told you it all depends who's working.

[KFDM COOP]

Yup!

[DenisGScott]

Be still my heart actually saw Yeats' announcement of both 4 and 6 didnt catch 12.

[KFDM COOP]

See, there was Hockey. The deal is with HS football here now and the sports guys only get limited time their going to cover HS football first. Just being honest.

[DenisGScott]

even with HS football first, to add in the PRO team here behind the volleyball team??????

I know HS football here, I went to WB, but except for when I was doing the games on radio for KLVI I have not been to one HS game of any type since i graduated. I know people have kids on the team or in the band I completely understand that, one day I'll be in that situation as my daughter grows up, but as far as in being in general public if I'm going to see a game I want to see other than high school.

[hockeyfan]

I know all about how HS football is "king" around here.

But what I don't understand is how volleyball(like DG said), Lamar, softball, etc..

In other words, the Wildcatters end up coming last no matter what is going on.

To quote DGScott back in June:

I admit to being negative towards the media here when it comes to sports coverage, they could have 2 high schools collect cockroaches and race them and it would get more airtime and print coverage then the only real PRO team in town. Thats not a knock against the area high schools either I have kids that will be that age soon, I went to school here so come fall I understand the religion that HS football is here. But to lead the 10pm sports with a story that a preseason football magazine hits the newstands on Tuesday is going overboard.

I've been using the cockroach quote ever since!

[AshlyHasBeen]

I can only speak for myself, but usually I put stories without any video lower in the rundown, during the season their games always lead.

[DenisGScott]

Can't buy that one for the reason that if LU plays a road game somewhere and there is no video of it, it is almost always the lead story, simple LU graphic over your shoulder follwed a by a screen with the numbers and stats

[AshlyHasBeen]

Not me. I go with VO unless it's a huge game for Lamar.
