This Live Event Center bidness, however, is crazy. It's unreliable, and as far as I can tell, unrecordable (please correct me if I'm wrong.) It does seem the BFTS schedule is stacked with more Friday/Saturday events than Saturday/Sunday, so perhaps this is what's complicating matters. Since when is more time spent gazing at our computers improving our coverage?nvphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613400985787218516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-91089261727888316422012-01-19T18:17:03.827-08:002012-01-19T18:17:03.827-08:00Wow, some of you people took the words right out o...Wow, some of you people took the words right out of my mouth! (because I've been way behind in posting on my blog)<br />SQ, you crack me up every time. <br />We need McKee. We need a consistent schedule that we don't have to hunt all over to find. We need a Live Event Center that tells you who rode what when, and what the score was--not just for the last 5 rides! And if they're going to use YouTube, for god's sake, find someone who knows how to do the job professionally. I've seen better quality videos done by kids. I will rant in detail on my blog, hopefully this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-72973309673759223002012-01-17T10:11:04.746-08:002012-01-17T10:11:04.746-08:00I don't have any problem with having Friday ni...I don't have any problem with having Friday nights of events on YouTube-- I was actually pleasantly surprised that it was a full production with interviews and scoring on the screen. However, YouTube for some nights we didn't get to see before doesn't make up for not getting some of the days we used to see. I can't figure out how they came up with this. Maybe they only had enough sponsor dollars to do certain nights on YouTube?<br /><br />I was watching part of Saturday's event on the LEC, and the mid-show "entertainment," besides the awful, cheesy jousting, was some dudes trying to hit a plastic buck with suction cup arrows or something. This is not going to help mainstream the sport, guys.<br /><br />I think the jousting is very much in line with the "the PBR is major" thinking. "The PBR is dangerous, jousting is dangerous, therefore PBR fans will like jousting!" (Honestly, I've seen better jousting at Renaissance Faires. And certainly better fake falls.)Shawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702605335177150318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-88904641506953838902012-01-16T08:18:17.614-08:002012-01-16T08:18:17.614-08:00Welcome, Saraht!

I appreciate your comments, but I don't really think that trading a situation in which we got two full nights of coverage for one in which we sometimes get two nights and sometimes will be lucky to get one helps the cause much.Stockyard Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036587088523124787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-87807335787711988392012-01-16T08:09:49.159-08:002012-01-16T08:09:49.159-08:00I think the biggest problem lies in the PBR PR dep...I think the biggest problem lies in the PBR PR department. Some of the articles are not very clear and the website is atrocious--very hard to find what you're looking for. <br /><br />If NBC has cut back on hours, thus forcing the PBR to look elsewhere for it's coverage, then maybe the fans should start an email/phone call campaign to NBC about the cuts and to CBS about requesting more time slots. It may not work, but sometimes it does.shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917315124069408543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-23212266475112666012012-01-13T13:05:01.088-08:002012-01-13T13:05:01.088-08:00The comments in the People article are something e...The comments in the People article are something else, that's for sure, but good on the PBR for getting the coverage.<br /><br />I initially thought that since NBC was primed to try to get NBCSN in position to challenge ESPN in the coming years, maybe they weren't terribly welcoming to the PBR as far as renewing with them. But they do seem to be airing the PBR this year, so I'm not sure what that all means. I do know that the PBR's crowing that "football is on major channels and the PBR is on major channels, therefore the PBR is major" is a logical fallacy in the "fish swim, children swim, children are fish" vein.<br /><br />I do realize the PBR is probably trying to make the best of the situation, but as per usual, their PR baffles and enrages.<br /><br />I really dislike the new LEC. I would be okay with it if it were easier to navigate, and you could see more of the past rides. Not all of us are going to be glued to the computer screen for the duration, guys.Shawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702605335177150318noreply@blogger.com
