[Zips Win!]

Last evening ticked me off more than I can ever remember at a UA hoops game….And no, I’m not talking about the outcome of the game or the team. They will be fine.For years I’ve dragged myself down Route 8 to watch the Zips at the JAR. Rarely did anything ever really upset me other than a heartbreaking loss. I’ve had to endure some good teams, some really bad teams, good coaches, bad coaches, terrible officiating, fight awful weather, buy overpriced hot dogs, receive under-priced tickets, sit in seats with bad sight lines ....the list could go on….All in the name of our Zips..That was until last evening. As I get to my seat during the team introductions, and as I have for years, I pull out my radio and headset and tune in the voice of the Zips, Steve French.To my amazement, the ball is thrown up, the game is off and running and no Steve French. There is a freakin 11 second delay…. I come to find out that the garbage 1350 AM now bounces their signal off of some tower in China, I mean North Carolina. Are you kidding me..an eleven second delay..What a bunch of crap!! Frenchie’s calls on radio are classic….And now I cannot hear them.Memo to UA: Find another GD radio station with no delay or move my ass right next to Frenchie so that I can hear the GD game.

@ Road FB games, doesn't he hook up a low level broadcaster for Zips fans to listen in? Maybe he can do that at the JAR now.

doesnt UofA have some sort of football deal with 106.9? I'm sure they pay something for it, i would like them to pay something to get basketball on there as well. We could use a strong signaled radio station for bball.

Our b-ball isn't going to be broadcast by 106.9? That's disappointing. And surprising; our basketball program has produced many more exciting moments than our football program over the past couple years.

Can't 106.9 take a break from playing Led Zeplin and Pink Floyd for a few hours a year to air the Zips?
