What happened with the radio broadcast? I keep hearing that they did weird things with that too.



Sounded like they were having phone line issues. They resolved it after the first couple innings and never went off the air again but it sounded like Hawthorne and Hannagriff were talking in a phone booth.

No surprise. The set up in the press box over there is horrible.

Damn it was delayed for about 15 minutes, at least they showed the entire game and did not skip the first 1-1/2 innings.

At least CST had the game, where AT & T and dish had nothing.

Still a dumb move on all parties, in a LA market you are showing ads for an Arkansas softball game, at that point you switch your programming over for the LA market.

The tape delayed version pissed off those advertisers more than you think except for the fact they will continue to support LSU baseball even though it was a marketing disaster.

Go do your high school baseball now!

It's not like it matters...

There is 1 more CST game this year and I'm not sure how much longer CST will survive with SECN and SECN+. They have made a stride in the right direction trying to add high school baseball to their repertoire, but it will take a major overhaul now that they don't have LSU sports or Saints preseason.

Why are people upset about this? So the starting time was later? Is following on the net that important?

I may be the only person on this board that is not mad about the tape delay. I didn't get home until 8:30 last night and got to watch the game in its entirety.

Spill it….what did Rantz do to you?

1) Cut your kid from one of his baseball teams
2) Put his Jumbo in your gf
3) Was a poor host at your stay at L'Auberge

could be all 3, I don't know

he just comes off as a giant assbag on the air. For example, I caught some of his show as I was leaving the gym the other day and they had some chick on about a documentary she was doing on the cape cod league. Rantz goes on to tell her "hey if you need some stories I played up there (name dropped a few guys). Have you seen the movie Summer Catch? I played for that team and had the same number as Freddie Prinze Jr's character!"

I would rather listen to a 24hr marathon of the jaguar journal over his show.....actually a 24 hr marathon of the jaguar journal would be amazing

so what you're telling me is summer catch is loosely based off Ronnie Rantz's days in the Cape?

Fair enough. I'll allow it.

the benefits of a tape delay do NOT outweigh the negatives.

Serious question: What are the negatives? I was able to see the entire game so from my standpoint there was no downside.
