Comcast Chicago is hardly an obscure channel. I'm not saying the show is going to challenge the Walking Dead's ratings, but heck, it's better than not being on, right? I mean, it's bound to be accidentally viewed by quite a few people wandering into sports bars after work if nothing else.

In Chicago, certainly.

Replace a few more teams with Illinois squads and the MVC will be showing all of their games on Comcast Chicago soon.

It's pretty popular here in Eastern Iowa as well. Lots of Cubs/Bears/Bulls/Blackhawk fans around here.

I'm not denying it's an important regional channel.

But it's still a regional channel. And a regional channel is not major exposure, especially when it's a regional channel that broadcasts to the area where the Valley has 80% of their teams.

If the Valley still needs attention in that area, with four teams in Illinois, two in Iowa, and two in Indiana, then I doubt a documentary is going to add anything.

Leave it to Valleytalkers to bemoan this.

"Nobody gets that channel!"

"Its not national!"

"Wait till you see what WSU gets!"

Its a very cool show, and its a good thing for UNI's program. There are at least a half dozen ways to watch the show, and this is most definitely a benefit to UNI.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Don't get so offended by the facts. Better yet, don't get so offended period. It makes you look like the WSU fans you loathe.

WSU gets a show like this, even on regional TV, and we would never not hear about it and how the success and exposure it's bringing.

Someone else gets it and it becomes an issue of "OH OF COURSE ONLY ILLINOIS AND BLAH BLAH BLAH REGIONAL!"

Why are you guys getting so sensitive about this? It'd be interesting to watch if one actually could watch it. Why isn't that relevant to the discussion?

If it's only gonna be on television in your local viewing area, then what's the point of it here? It sounds like a perfect thing for the UNI message board but to a board where less than half the potential viewers can't even entertain the idea of watching it?

I sure hope WSU fans have never posted similar things in the past. I sure don't remember anything like that. Now nationally? Yes, I've seen that.

I guess instead of the few UNI fans who have only contributed crankiness to the thread, how about a recap of the weekly episodes?

Its on a station that's part of the freaking Valley TV network. It's home area to 8 of the 10 Valley schools. Its also on this thing called YouTube and unipanthers.com. Its readily available to anyone that reads this board that wants to watch it...

If Wichita had the same thing going, you guys would be beating your chests about it. uniftw is exactly right about it.
