Before I totally forget…

There are three, count them, three games this weekend for your listening pleasure.

First, tonight at 7pm, the women will play Western Michigan.

Tomorrow (I know the Marshall game is tomorrow as well but we do have a game before that) at Noon, the men host Cal-Northridge.

And Sunday, at 1 pm, the ladies will play again against Binghampton.

Listen, hopefully it will work better, I have faith that it will. It could be some computer issues with some of you that are having problems. If that is the case I will try and record them for you and send them to you if you’d like.

Hope everyone has a nice Labor Day weekend!

Tomorrow’s Game

I know there is a soccer game tomorrow night but I will not be calling it. I have to conduct interviews at U92 during that time. But you can still listen in as always to the broadcast. I felt yesterday’s went pretty well despite not getting on air on time like we had wanted to (yeah…CSTV is at it again for those who remember).

I do have a FULL and I mean FULL weekend of games coming up starting Friday night. Then one Saturday afternoon and then a final one on Sunday afternoon. Yeah…a loooong weekend of soccer ahead with the season opener for the WVU football team as well. Fun, fun, fun.

Game Today

I meant to post this last night but I figured this would still be alright.

Just a friendly reminder that there is another game today at 330 pm here at WVU. The men will take on Buffalo who beat up on Big East rival Pitt on Friday before the Mountaineers took out Fairfield. We hope to get on air by 315 and provide coverage of the game this afternoon. Hopefully the audio will work today, I know a lot of you had issues with the audio and getting everything to work. Again, it was mostly CSTV’s problem and not any of yours. I know the thing works because I have been told that there has been some people that got to listen. So just keep trying and hopefully it will be a go today.

msnsportsnet.com – MSoccer v. Buffalo 330 pm.

Soccer Recap

Well, incase you all didn’t notice WVU did win their first game of the season tonight against Fairvfield. I know some people had trouble with the audio loading (including myself afterwards). That was totally a CSTV problem so I honestly don’t know what to say about that. Hopefully it will be working for the Sunday game.

Speaking of which, the next game is Sunday at 330 pm. If all goes to plan we will get on air about 315. Tonight we got on a little bit later than we thought but still had a decent amount of pregame.

Again, hopefully this will work this Sunday and improve upon from tonight. Like I said it was a total CSTV problem and not any of you guys out there. First games of the season typically work out like that with these sorts of things for some reason I guess. If anyone did get to listen, I would still like to know what you thought and how everything sounded.

Games this weekend

Alright, there are a couple soccer games this weekend for your listening pleasure (or at least I hope it sounds good). One Friday and the second on Sunday.

Friday is at 730 though I expect or hope to get on air by no later than 715 (ET folks…). Sunday’s game is at 330 I believe, though if I am incorrect I will let you know other wise.

So how to listen is real simple. I have bought the season pass this year and it should be working correctly. All you need to do is go to www.msnsportsnet.com and go down the page, near the bottom on the right side of the page. Under the "Mountaineers Play Here" logo you will see links for audio for soccer games this weekend. Click the game for the right date and a pop up will appear. Just use my log in so you won’t have to pay for it down the road.

Its real simple I believe and should work once things are starting up on Friday. If it doesn’t work Friday just let me know and I will hopefully figure out what went wrong and get things going for Sunday. I hope things work out better than the first couple games last season.

I will try to keep you all posted on here about games when they come up, which is quite often this semester if I am not mistaken.

By the way, hope you like the new look. As much as I liked the other design I just felt this was more of a look for the fall. But you all know I can never stick with a site design for more than a few weeks anyways.

music

Currently on my iPod

OKay this is something I have been meaning to do here on my site. Perfect time to start right? I will do my best to keep up with this as I can.

So I feel 10 songs/bands or so is good enough to let you know what music I am listening to these days. It changes from day to day really.

A.F.I. – their new CD is awesome I think…totally addicted to it right now
Muse – always been a Muse fan, they are so different that its fun to listen to I think
Thom Yorke – lead singer for Radiohead doing his own thing, pretty much sounds like a Radiohead album
Angels and Airwaves – I was a little nervous with this CD since its post-Blink 182 here, but its totally better than anything Blink ever did
Gnarls Barkley – so I heard "Crazy" way back in the spring before it got big, now some of their stuff is growing on me
Sonic Youth – nice ol’ band here, "Incinerate" is a great song too
Secret Machines – sometimes this band is tough to put down for me…I don’t even know why
The Frey – got a live album of theirs and totally love it, really wish they had came here for Fall Fest like I had heard
The Racontuers – dude from the White Stripes is at it again, good stuff
The Exit – some people probably don’t know about this band but they are solid to listen to, different but real good I believe

Okay, so my list may not be that long next time around but it could be close. Hopefully I can keep with this here.

Random Stuff, school

Last weekend before school

I have to say it stinks that summer is really over here and that I have totally gone away from posting stuff on here that I kept meaning to post. Don’t worry, I will eventually figure out what I want to do with 30 soccer photos from various soccer games that I went to. I figured I would save time and space with not posting all of those photos anyways.

But getting back to the busniess at hand.

School begins on Monday here in the University City. I have two classes (one in the morning and the other in the early evening). Then to kick the year off there is Fall Fest. Past years WVU has done well with getting solid music to kick off the school year but really the last two years have been pathetic in my eyes. I didn’t go last year and I am wondering if I will even show up this year for it. I would like to see The Roots that’s all really.

My other days this week for class (and that of the rest of the semester really) are three classes on Tuesday and Thursday and one on wednesday mornings. As usual, no Friday classes though I should have work. Speaking of work, I have not found out about my WVUF internship that I had last year for this school year. I should find out either way this week. That would definitely take up dead space on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Now, as for U92 work and soccer games. I should get the season pass for the soccer games sometime in the coming week since the first game is this coming FRIDAY at 730 pm. We should go on air at 7 or so I would think. I will post more information about the games as they come up. So keep checking back here for games and how to listen. For U92 stuff, I should have my normal Friday shift in the afternoons. Again, I will keep everyone posted on that information. Same goes for when I will appear on the SportsPage on Friday nights. I am sorry that I forgot to inform you all about me being back on the ‘Page this past Friday.

I honestly hope to do some good things with this site in the coming months. I really hope to take more photos of things I do and see this year. So hopefully I can figure out a way to post photos in an easy manner for your viewing pleasure.

Ah….in a way it is nice to be back but I do miss summer already.

Random Stuff, summer

Yeah I am still lazy

Okay, I know I said I would post photos and I will…just thought I would pass along that I am back in Morgantown again and I am getting ready for another semester of school. Give me some time and I will post some final photos of the summer.
