Around the Hall: Fish interview, Penn St. search, more

by in Media | May 31st, 2011

Around the Hall is recommended reading from the Inside the Hall crew. So go ahead, get your read on (or in some cases, listen on).

– The author of last week’s investigative pieces on the A-HOPE program, Mike Fish of ESPN.com, did an interview with our friend JMV of 1070 the Fan. The interview, however, never aired as JMV explained to me via Twitter: “I didn’t air it Alex. Straight to podcast. Kinda like Roadhouse 2.” The 14-minute conversation, which includes Fish telling JMV that Baylor had nothing to do with the story, is available in the embedded player below:

– John Gasaway examines Indiana (premium link) as part of ESPN.com’s look at teams that finished last in their conference a season ago. The three talking points: 1. The mess that Kelvin Sampson left behind was unfortunate … but not unprecedented. 2. The Hoosiers have to start winning in February and March. 3. Indiana must stop fouling.

– The Penn State coaching search continues along and the Nittany Lions interviewed Duquesne coach Ron Everhart on Tuesday. AD Tim Curley plans to name a replacement for Ed DeChellis “very soon.” The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette mentions Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Rob Jeter, Boston’s Pat Chambers, Tulsa’s Doug Wojcik, former Bucknell coach Pat Flannery, Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins and Arizona State assistant Scott Pera as other possibilities.

– James Blackmon Sr. explains his decision to return to Ft. Wayne Luers after accepting the coaching position at Marion, where he played in high school, a few weeks ago.

– Kyle Neddenriep of The Indianapolis Star has some visit news for two 2013 prospects on the IU radar: V.J. Beachem will go to Michigan State this weekend and Michigan State’s Elite camp the following week. And Zak Irvin will visit Tennessee on his way back from this weekend’s Under Armour camp in Atlanta.

– Bob Knight still doesn’t like talking about the interview that took place with Jeremy Schaap almost eleven years ago.

– The Big Ten Network is being re-branded as BTN with a new logo and web domain.

– Jody Demling of The Louisville Courier-Journal has updates on Gary Harris and Trevon Bluiett.

Live streaming of tonight’s exhibition vs. Anderson

by in Media | November 7th, 2008

The Big Ten Network will stream tonight’s exhibition vs. Anderson College and it’s the only coverage fans will have for Tom Crean’s debut in Assembly Hall. We’re curious to see how well the streaming works, but one of the nice features is that fans will be able to hear Don Fischer, Todd Leary and Joe Smith on the call for both exhibition games (the game Nov. 11 vs. Bemidji State will also be Web only.)

Big Ten Network signs everyone’s favorite screamer

by in Media | October 27th, 2008



Like Gus Johnson? Of course you do. Even at his most annoying, he’s impossible to dislike. The sort of enthusiasm he brings to even the most mundane of Sunday afternoon NFL games — third quarter drives full of screams and whoops and “ha-HA’s!” — it’s a beautiful thing.

So of course it was a pleasant surprise to hear that Gus Johnson is moving over to the Big Ten Network. Big Ten basketball can occasionally be a plodding affair. This year’s Hoosiers are going to be a struggle to watch. But at least we’ll have Gus shouting at us. More Gus is good for everybody.

Non-conference schedule TV and times released

by in Schedule | September 15th, 2008

If you were wondering just what channel and when you can catch IU’s non-conference schedule this coming season — which is not too far away now, may I add — you no longer need to wonder. This is because IU media relations has the docket for us. Here ya go:

DATE, DAY, OPPONENT, SITE, TIME, TV
Nov. 7, Friday, Anderson University (Exhib.), Bloomington, Ind., 7 p.m., BTN.com
Nov. 11, Tuesday, Bemidji State (Exhib.), Bloomington, Ind., 7 p.m., BTN.com
Nov. 15, Saturday, Northwestern State, Bloomington, Ind., 7 p.m., BTN
Nov. 18, Tuesday, IUPUI, Bloomington, Ind., 6:30 p.m., BTN

25th ANNUAL EA SPORTS MAUI INVITATIONAL
Nov. 24, Monday, Notre Dame, Maui, 5:30pm, ESPN2
Nov. 25, Tuesday, TBA, Maui, TBA, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU
Nov. 26, Wednesday, TBA, Maui, TBA, ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU

Nov. 30, Sunday, Cornell, Bloomington, Ind., 4 p.m., BTN

ACC/BIG TEN CHALLENGE
Dec. 3, Wednesday, at Wake Forest, Winston-Salem, N.C., 7:15pm, ESPN

HARTFORD HALL OF FAME SHOWCASE (at Lucas Oil Stadium)
Dec. 6, Saturday, Gonzaga #, Indianapolis, Ind., 1:30 p.m., BTN

Dec. 10, Wednesday, TCU, Bloomington, Ind., 7 p.m., ESPN2
Dec. 13, Saturday, at Kentucky, Lexington, Ky., 4 p.m., CBS
Dec. 22, Monday, Northeastern, Bloomington, Ind., 9 p.m., BTN
Dec. 28, Sunday, Lipscomb, Bloomington, Ind., 6 p.m., BTN

One thing of note here: the Big Ten Network will be streaming all of IU’s exhibition games online, which I think is pretty neat. So if you’re stuck in the office late on Tuesday, Nov. 11, that Bemidji State matchup will be there to comfort you while you work on your Excel documents.

Report: Comcast, Big Ten Network close to a deal

by in Media | June 16th, 2008

I know, I know, you heard rumblings that a deal could be close all of last season. Meanwhile, you grew tired of the posturing from both sides and got a dish or switched to RCN because you wanted to see Eric Gordon and D.J. White from the comfort of your living room instead of a bar stool. I don’t blame you.

According to a report late last night by Teddy Greinstein of The Chicago Tribune, a deal between Comcast and the Big Ten Network should be announced this week:

Comcast, which had been losing customers to DirecTV, the Dish Network and RCN Cable, will have video-on-demand features that will allow customers to access their favorite team’s greatest games and replays of condensed, “snap-to-snap” games, according to sources.

The BTN completed the deal without caving on its central demand: that the channel be placed on expanded basic, rather than a sports tier, in the eight-state footprint. Only Philadelphia will be excluded.

So not only will Comcast carry the Big Ten Network, they’re going to have some on-demand features and condensed games for your viewing pleasure. Probably not enough to get you to climb up on your roof and take down the dish, but for those of you still left in the dark due to this fiasco, this is good news. Better late than never, right?
