The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

There must be enough Uconn fanatics out there like me that will be glued to every game this year. So why not have all of them televised? It makes no sense to me. If there is a problem with finding the right station then why not go the woman’s route and put these games on PBS. If one has experienced last years atrocious online debacle, where hitting refresh every fifteen seconds gave you a slow motion blurry game, might as well jab needles into my eyes, then you are cautious to go that route again. Though if its my only way, I’ll be banging my head against the keyboard again.

This is Connecticut basketball. For us this is our only professional team to root for. Even summer basketball leagues and high school football are televised. Something must be done about this. As a true fan, I will be dusting off the radio and listening to the broadcast which everyone outside of the signal can get online. Thank the lord.

Uconn must know the draw they have in their product. Even though the numbers for a televised Maine game versus a Syracuse game are enormous, they should still put their product out their for the true fan. They will in turn be the ones, buying the shirts, hats and posters that help pay for Calhoun’s enormous salary.

Who truly knows what type of team will be running onto the court this year? At least let the fans see them beat up on the likes of Assumption, Bryant, Gardner-Webb and Maine. The only thing we know for certain is that they can dismantle them. It was painful at times last year, the droughts, turnovers and youthful play. We had to go through a lot. Please let us have a few guaranteed wins televised. It’s the least you could do.
