Game number three for “SUper Sports” is done and the women’s volleyball team bounced back from losing the first game and won the next three to beat Pitt. Our production went smoothly until the final wrap-up segment after the game was done when, well, just watch for yourself. Catch the game on OTN channel 2 for the next couple of weeks. With that, volleyball is done for us and we move on to women’s’ basketball and then next semester some more hoop, some hockey and maybe some lacrosse.
On Saturday I was in Newhouse and happened to bump into SU alum and current ESPN play-by-play announcer Dave Ryan along with his boss from ESPN, Chuck Scatterday. They were in town to do the UConn football game. I told both Dave and Chuck about our production and they were impressed and pleased that there was a program in place to give students this kind of unique opportunity. And I’m told that the sideline reporter for the UConn game was our own Steve Andress and by ALL accounts he kicked ass. Nice job Steve!
On Sunday ESPNU broadcast the opening game of the hoop season and OTN’s Remote Sports Production Operations Assistant, Wes Purvis, was able to observe the production from inside the truck. Hopefully Wes took notes!
So, SU beat Pitt 3 to 1 on Friday; check it out on OTN this week.
