18. Perhaps they don’t let the opposite pass because Sedore isn’t as consistent a passer as the other hitters. And he’s their go-to guy on offense, and in UH’s system, most of the time it’s the opposite who carries the majority of the offense while the outsides are primarily passers. Didn’t Theocharidis move to opposite at one point with Ching and Zimet as the primary passers? Same with the Matt Bender era, when he was their leading attacker while the likes of Delgado, Jeschke, Woodward, etc. were the OH passers.

Agree it seemed a lame excuse but it is a business and they know their finances. every match, i’m told, costs $25,000-$30,000 to produce. they rely on commercials to generate revenue and if the ad money isn’t there, tough to pay the bills.
Their bid did not promise all games in all sports. they are doing selected softball, water polo, baseball and men’s volleyball games. again, UH accepted that bid on those terms.
So people can get a jump on this … OC16 televising only one of the UCSD matches this week. not sure which but believe it’s Sunday that won’t be televised.

Cindy, that is my point. If there was another sport they chose to televise instead, I would not be upset about it, because I do understand a choice would have to be made.

But in this case, there was no other game to televise, they said they lacked the resources….to me, if you are going to lack the resources, then don’t put in a bid to be the station to televise the athletics. Yes, it is their choice because they were chosen by UH, but if you are chosen, then do what you bid to do.

24. Oceanic’s bid to televise UH sports was accepted by UH. It includes their right to decide which games are televised.
What I don’t understand is this sudden furor. This is not new. They have opted to do baseball instead of volleyball several times during numerous seasons. As did K-5. The only difference this time is that it wasn’t another UH sport that was the conflict.

If Oceanic has limited resources to produce UH sporting events, then they should not put in a bid to the rights. It sucks it was not shown on tv….not everyone can go to the games even if they really want to. Oceanic needs to get their act together or like I said, don’t bid for the rights.

17. thanks Tiffers. agree hard to get both Mol and Sedore in together since both are Opps.

8. there is tape of the match both available from the UH arena video and from the camera used to exchange game films. The up-ref was from the MPSF. the linesmen are local.
That UH has television tape for most games is a luxury most of the other teams in the league don’t have, outside of BYU. which televises most home matches. sometimes on a delayed basis if they decide to run men’s basketball road game live.

2. it ended up being a great match. but there was no way TV would know that. If they had, they would have gone with Friday’s match and not Thursdays IIMHO.
9. yes it was Oceanic’s call, not UH’s. Don’t buy the conspiracy theory that they didn’t show it in order to increase ticket sales.

7. Olsen’s injury happened when he and Averill ran into each other going for a ball (late in Set 1) I believe.
But agree the refs were horrible and you have to give the team credit for playing through those calls.
