You guys better cover the Millington game next weekend as the Ubly game will get coverage on the radio.....

Im sure 92.1 FM will be there for the Millington game

hmm maybe they wont cover any game then as they said last week they cover the games that arent already being covered...

the way they do a game they might as well not do a game, the announcers were bad....

We don't just cover games that are not be being covered. We have a national audience whoever you are in Saginaw. Look at the title of the blog..."live Internet Streaming of Michigans Thumb Area High School Football"... so whatever teams are left in the Thumb Area thats where we go. We are based out of Sanilac County. I think we did our internet listeners a good service by traveling whereever we had to go. Plus Ubly has been wanting us to stream for quite a while. Sorry that you are still not satisfied with our coverage. Hope things are nice in Saginaw. things look the same to me...I will stop there. Although it was fun visiting some realtives there and having fresh Tortilla tacos!
By the way if you want Millington on the internet, tell the fans, parents and businesses that we could use their support advertising wise. Our expenses are piling up, but I am not complaining. I go to these towns and schools and say hello during the week. So that is twice I go visit during the week. And I go to just introduce myself and shoot the breeze and let them know what I am trying to do.

Wow - it's funny to me that some random guy who doesn't even have the guts to give himself a name is on here digging the announcers. They wouldn't have the time if they had a life. Seems to me that out of the 825 listeners we had this last week, having only one moron is pretty good. I suggest they listen to their games on the transistor radio...

my comment was for the 92.1 crew, they were bad, not your crew

Hey we are bad, and need to get better! We strive to be better, we ask advice all the time from the other media folks! Just don't insult us. But give us good critique's. We want to present the best informative and entertaining show that we can bring to you. And it is all due to outside influences who do like what we are doing. We want to be better. Believe me I know I need some work, but i get more and more comfortable each week. I almost panic and almost throw up before each broadcast! LOL! I still do after over 15 years of broadcasting live, but then i get the adrenaline and that calms me down.

Too many anonymous. Give yourself a name people!

As for ripping on any of the game announcers, anyone thinks they can do a better job until they get up there and have to do it. I was one of those guys. And the first time I got my shot, I fumbled more than a freshman QB on a rainy night. Remember that if it wasn't for these guys who bring you the game, you'd have to go and sit in the heat/rain/wind/cold/snow...

Absolutely we need to get better. Getting honest opinions is great, but don't think that telling us that we are horrible is really going to make a difference to us. Ed and I tell each other how horrible we are, and now we have Mark confirming that for us all the time. You can't post anything here that we don't tell each other on the ride home!

Anon,

I would love to hear what was bad about the broadcast. I have had many emails commenting how good the broadcast was. We are not going to ESPN anytime soon. We always need improvement and will take criticism anytime, but give us a reason and a name would be great.

Christian: It's just that you guys maybe don't have a voice for radio. You broadcasts are informative and stuff, it's that your voices make it sound dark and hum drum. I don't know, that's the only way I can describe it. Plus, making comments about what you think the coaches are doing wrong don't help. I would sooner listen to the guys on the Sandusky radio station than you guys. Of course, although it's rare, when WLEW does my local team I will always listen to them because they are the best> Something about being able to laugh at yourself just makes that a fun game to listen to.

thats fair thanks

Hey Mike, are you poking fun at me? ha ha...
I always try to keep it entertaining and enjoyable. Glad you enjoy it!
