Updating Games Realtime

OK, let me re-write what I said in another form.

 

CoachT has an answering machine, possibly one of those that uses a computer (yes you can do that).

OK, he has the games pre-typed in to a seperate scoreboard.

OK, before the games, coach gives a special number for a game. Lets say I was reporting the score for a Loretto vs. Ezell Harding.

OK, coacht would have the game pre-typed into the scoreboard along with how ever many other games there are in Tennessee.

OK, coacht puts up a game number a few days before the game day. Let's say Loretto vs. Ezell is game number 5.

OK, I would call in to coacht's voicemail, push in 5 on my phone dial, and I would give an update of the game. Lets say its 7-7 in the first quarter. I would call in and say the score is Loretto 7 Ezell 7 in the first quarter.

OK, after I called in my score and hung up, that recorded message automatically goes to that game and the people on coacht.com click the Loretto vs. Ezell Harding game and my update comes over the internet via streaming audio, and the fan gets the update on coacht.com. Then if another update is available, the system would simply update the 7-7 score. Lets say the score in the 3rd quarter is 14-14. I would call in again, push in the game number (number 5), then say the updated score. The system would update, and the updated score using streaming audio would come over the computer speakers of the coacht.com user.

 

Hope this clears it up a little bit.

The day must be coming where we can get text updates on our cell phones, as well as send the scores in.

 

The key will be to pitch in and help CoachT.com purchase the equipment that will receive and disperse the information -- without Coach T having to be present or involved in the process.

 

At the very least, I would think there would be some type of equipment that could automatically update the web site. It would probably involve us calling in and hitting numbers on our cell phones. There has to be some type of equipment and software that can convert that information to the web site.

 

Does anyone out there have knowledge of such products?

Thanks to my trusty new laptop from robjim I plan to give scoring updates during the games at Grundy. I'll have it plugged in in the pressbox and post score updates each quarter at least.

 

I'm hoping lots of folks will do this so I can report scores of other games over the PA.

 

Anybody thinking of doing this?

Make sure this doesn't upset your coach by keeping the gate down.

10,000 comedians out of work and look who just chimed in.

 

:D

That would be a great idea! Audio updates throughout the night... "This is another CoachT.com Sundrop Audio Update... the Franklin Rebels have just pulled ahead against Brentwood for the first time in three years on a 55 yard bomb from Matt Solima to Ryan Nichols. The score with thirty seconds remaining has Franklin leading the Bruins 21-20. This is Taylor Flatt, stay tunned for more Sundrop Audio Updates as they become available."

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
