New Civic Center scoreboard

[Da Coach]

I came across this article about some of the high tech equipment that Carver Arena uses for their scoreboard video.
Probably some of you understand this-

With the advent of this new video system, .....

Will the quality of how the game is announced be as equally improved? The GAME is the primary reason for attendance. Correct? Perhaps this coming season will show the realization of the same of and by our very own pat hughes - - - always too much to say - - - clone, paul herzog, we are all indeed at the civic center to WATCH the BU Braves and NOT awaiting the reading of yet another bed time story of nothing-ness. With this comes also my hopes the band has a larger library of songs to play than the same old repertoire of what they have presented in the past.

Looking forward to a scoreboard/clock that won't malfunction and hopefully have a clear resolution on the screen. Can't agree with the slam at Pat Hughes (since his job is to paint a visual picture on the radio to his listeners)...but do agree that it is time for a new PA announcer for BU who is not so "chatty" and simply does his job and not so full of himself with editorial comments about calls etc...

Most of what PH says he is told to say. I'm not a fan of "thank you as we thank them", "perpetual senior", "make em all!" and that type of stuff, but it's not his fault he has to read ads.

I don't hear all that crap at other college venues...but I suppose it's part of the problem of having to play at an off-campus ice rink/facility that needs to advertise everything to pay their bills Guess it's all a matter of taste...a couple people who sit by me think he's a hoot-- I would welcome a "new voice" that is less of a tool to go with the new scoreboard--just my opinion.
