Altitude deserves props

We should all send an email to Altitude and tell them we appreciate their coverage of the Bobcats. I was impressed during the football games when they were doing the coverage, and they did a good job again tonight when we were at UNC. We should tell them we appreciate the coverage and look forward to more Bobcat broadcats.

They were a little 'homer', but they are out of Denver so can't blame them. The coverage was good and they did acknowledge the 'Cats for coming back strong in the 2nd half.

I'll make the contact to express my appreciation for their coverage.

The color commentator-Irv Brown? He's quite the name dropper. Nice interview with Durr after the game-I'll bet that's a first for him. Hope they had the game on in Roberts!

Altitude is a nice channel-I find myself watching it quite a bit. Having UNC in the league might be a really good thing TV wise as Altitude is based in Denver.

I emailed my thanks

Altitude is a great network, and it has been very good for the Big Sky and Montana State. I hope they cover more of our games. I was also happy to see them interview my good friend Carson Durr. I didn't listen to much of the commentary because I listened to the radio play-by-play, but the bits that I did seemed fair.

I thought they were a little un-professional with their graphics. They had Montana instead of Montana State on their scoreboard when they went to commercials. Ewwwwww

Comments were fair but they did not know players names and did not do a good job on the play by play in my opinion. Most of it was just commentary. They could have done their homework more and known some of the players names a little better. On our cable, the sound is really goofy on altitude.

Much to my chagrin (because Fullerton inked this deal and I thought it was some kind of bad joke last year)

, I have to concede that Altitude had a great fall and last night's coverage of the hoops game was good too.

Unfortunately, at this time Altitude won't cover any more games this season other than the Womens BSC Final game. My guess is the only reason we got last nights game was because it was at UNC.

Irv Brown is a great guy, but their commentary was a little off-topic at times. Brown coached baseball at CU years ago, and I also saw him ref a Cat/Griz basketball game in Boz. many years ago.....80's maybe. He did a great job reffing.

Didn't Dissly sit a lot of the first half?
