Volleyshots
It looks like the live-streaming is still free according to the Oceanic website.
I think the sad part is that without football the Big West has no clout in the TV market. Have you seen the number of Pac-12 channels Oceanic offers? There’s going to be Pac-12 volleyball on constantly.
Cindy, when I saw that Oceanic picked up PAC-12 TV, I thought it was going to be like the Big Ten TV, just one channel. I was totally surprised when I saw 6-7 channels. Not only will people be able to see almost every single PAC 12 volleyball match, but also, basketball (men’s & women’s), baseball, softball, and quite possibly soccer.
Someone at UH really needs to get with Oceanic and the Big West because there is much confusion on this subject.
The Big West TV claims that it’s free with a link to the OC 16 Live Stream web page which also shows no charge.The BW tweets it free.
This is the quote on the BW web site.”For the fifth year, all home and conference matches will be broadcast on the BigWest.TV platform. Beginning this season, all BigWest.TV live content will stream FREE OF CHARGE.
While recently talking to Oceanic on another problem I brought up the subject and they even brought up the BW TV schedule on their computer after I gave them the link and they saw it for themselves but told me that Oceanic has yet to reach an agreement with the Big West on live streaming.
Because I’m at the SSC I have no idea if anyone actually watched it for free. Some on VT say they have.
A relative of mine said that he has never been able to get it because all it does is buffer.
Once again they never seem to be able to get all of their ducks in a row.
This athletic department is so poorly run it’s pathetic.
Vinny, don’t know if the athletic department is to blame completely. Could be partly the Big West and Oceanic not communicating.
Agree, all three are to blame but no one can deny that this athletic department is poorly run.
No argument from me.
BYU usually broadcasts their games. Much better pic than oceanic.
Thanks Burt. What I don’t like about the Blue & White network is the bias. But they are the B&W. I thought KFVE’s broadcasts were about the best you could get. And the camera work of both KFVE and OC are unmatched.
Cindy, have you heard anything from Ann concerning today’s practice?
no, practice IS at 3 p.m.
Thank you, Cindy. Just curious what he has decided on the RS and with Olevao,
Try ocsports.tv I have watched last weeks games on the computer all live streaming for FREE. I am not sure if you type http//. or www, mine just goes on automatic. I live on the big island, otherwise I would attend the games at SSC.
When you call Oceanic you will never get the same answer twice.
In a call to Oceanic I was told that if you live in Hawai`i you have to have their Road Runner service but if you live outside of Hawai`i you don’t need it.If you live in Hawai`i you can’t even pay to see their internet feeds without having Road Runner.
Is this black mail or what ? Does this say something about what they really think about the people of Hawai`i ?
Seems like both Nikki Taylor and Tayler Higgins are in the top 30 Senior Aces list.
The top 30 hasn’t been announced yet,pure speculation at this point.
Be interesting if Taylor is since she’s not playing. but believe Croson still was even though she didn’t player her senior year.
If theyre not top 100 then John Tawa is crazy! He’s not. They are both definitely top 30.
Cindy, if Olevao does not play this weekend, can she still play in the Alumnae game and still redshirt?
Why chance it and give the NCAA any reason to take her redshirt year away.
the redshirts won’t play in the alumnae match.
So all that talk about line up changes turns out to be all about nothing.
Sports Animals had a discussion on a Mt. Rushmore of all-time Wahine players. I said the 4 would be the 4 Natl Players of the Year: Deitre Collins, Teee Williams, Kim Willoughby, and Angelica Ljunguist. As for a 12-member all-time team, I have the following: Note all were at least 2X 1st team All-American.
Deitre Collins
Teee Williams
Kim Willoughby
Angelica Ljunguist
Robyn Ah-Mow
Kanoe Kamanao
Joyce Ka’apuni
Suzanne Eagye
Karrie Trieschman
Heather Bown
Lily Kahumoku
Kanani Danielson
Robin, I like your 4 Mt. Rushmore players, except I would replace Willoughby, with Danielson, but this is just my opinion only. No argument with your 12 tho.
sp: Ljungquist
Watching the FSU vs Univ. of Miami (FL) match, and looks like they are playing in a high school gym. The gym looks smaller then Klum, or even Mckinley gym. WOW!!!!
and that nauseating voice is the one and only Kelli Tennant.
Vinny, ESPN has not gotten rid of her yet.
Where is Misty on a modeling assignment in Paris ?
Miami (Florida) beats #6 Florida St., 3-1.
Knew FSU Was over rated, USC and Washington too.
warriorfan, I agree, FSU is way overrated.
Vinny, did you hear, Texas lost to Minnesota, yesterday, 3-1. That’s 2 teams that are ranked above the Wahine that lost so far this week.
Exciting match,students storming the floor.
Texas beats Minnesota today, 3-1.
Texas splits with Minny so that could be be a wash as far as the AVCA voters go.
#10 Dayton lost twice so they will fall along with #6 FSU.
Huge opportunity for the Wahine this weekend if they want to move back up in the polls.
Cindy, any news on who will be starting on the RS, for the Wahine’s.
Maybe, tonite the Wahine match will start on time.
Wow, Cindy got to the Arena early. She must have confidence the Wahine match will start on time.
No idea what you’re talking about. I’ve been coming to the early match all season.
I know, just that this is the earliest you have gotten to the Arena.
not true. been here before the first whistle for a number of matches.
Sorry, then, my mistake.
Cindy, since you are online, I wanted to ask you, can Olevao play in the Alumnae game, and still reshirt?
