Most guys know that men don\u2019t really talk seriously to each other most of the time. In fact, it is a rare \u201cguy\u201d conversation that is not laden with put-downs and jokes about the other person. Very often, if you say something nice about yourself, the response is, \u201cDoes your shoulder hurt?\u201d This implies that it must be physically difficult to \u201cpat yourself on the back\u201d.<\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t care if at the end of this blog you feel that way because I am going to pat the RCNTV team on the back. This past week, the Lafayette Sports Network was named one of five finalists for a 2013 College Sports Media Award. The announcement came from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the Sports Video Group (SVG). There are Major Network\/Professional categories and College\/University categories. LSN was nominated for \u201cBest Live Game and Event Production\u201d<\/p>\n

Submissions had to be an uninterrupted 5 minute segment of a broadcast. There were a record number of entries (a 28% increase) that were viewed by the judging panel. The submissions were designated as worthy of Honorable Mention and 5 were selected as nominees for the award. Also nominated, along with LSN, were Florida State University, the University of North Carolina, and two Southland Conference telecasts.<\/p>\n

LSN submitted the broadcast of Lafayette\u2019s men\u2019s basketball game vs. Bucknell. Lafayette senior guard, Tony Johnson, hit a pull-up jumper with 4.5 seconds left to give Lafayette a dramatic 63-62 victory.<\/p>\n

\"Lafayettte\u2019s<\/p>\n

You can view the segment at http:\/\/www.goleopards.com\/genrel\/051613aaf.html<\/a>
\nThe other nominees can be viewed at https:\/\/vimeo.com\/channels\/527414<\/a><\/p>\n

RCNTV is proud of our 15 year relationship with Lafayette and executive producer, Scott Morse. We are, also, especially proud to be nominated for this prestigious award. This is, by the way, the first time Lafayette has submitted an entry.<\/p>\n

The winners will be selected by a panel of judges and announced at a ceremony on May 29 at the SVG College Sports Summit in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n

Enough! My shoulder hurts!<\/p>\n

ABOVE THE EARS (SOME MUSINGS)<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. No Triple Crown again this year. Orb, the Kentucky Derby winner could do no better than fourth at the Preakness. The drought is 36 years. Affirmed was the last horse to do it in 1978. He was the 11th. Will there ever be a 12Th?<\/p>\n

2. It appears that the idea of a Superconference, the merging of the Lehigh Valley Conference and the Mountain Valley Conference, is dead for the time being. I see no reason to resurrect the idea. The LVC would gain nothing.<\/p>\n

3. The Phillies appear to have so many weaknesses, are below .500 and, yet, as I write this, they are only 3 games out of second and 4 \u00bd games out of first.<\/p>\n

Parity has sure produced the ability for mediocre teams to stay in the race.<\/p>\n

4. Congratulations to Whitehall High School for winning their first LVC Baseball Championship. They beat an outstanding Parkland team for the title. Winning the LVC title usually is a jinx for the team as it tries to win Districts and move on to the state playoffs. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

5. By the way, the District XI high school baseball championships are Tuesday, May 28 and Wednesday, May 29. <\/strong>RCNTV will be there for the LIVE telecasts from Coca-Cola Park.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re invited to join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
