BN Basketball Podcast Season Preview Open Thread

It's time for the very first BN basketball podcast. At 6 pm PST I will be joined by bruinhoo as we preview our 2009-2010 UCLA Bruins. Headed by Ben Howland, the UCLA basketball program will always have high aspirations, but with nine of 12 scholarship players either freshmen or sophomores, there will be some issues. How will the season play out? What should you keep an eye on? What's the best case scenario for the Bruins and what is the worst case scenario? Also, where do some of the Pac-10's other teams stand and where do the Bruins fit in there? We'll also take some of your calls so follow these directions and share your thoughts or pose your questions.

1) Call (724) 444-7444

2) Enter the Call ID 68618 and press # afterward

3) When asked for your PIN, press 1#

4) Talk to us!

So tune in and listen to us. You can click play in the box above to listen live or if you can't make it live, you can still listen by clicking play in the box above or by heading over to iTunes. Use this as your open thread to share your thoughts, pose some questions and give us some feedback. if you've got some ideas to share or questions, call on in. It's time for the first BN basketball podcast.

Are you guys doing season predictions?

Game by game (I know very very early at this snap shot of time). But what are you guys thinking?

by Nestor on Nov 3, 2009 5:35 PM PST up reply actions  

Nothing game by game

That will be next week and the week after when we look at everything in depth and player by player. This week is more an overview with general expectations for the team, best case scenarios, worst case scenarios, games to keep an eye on, where they stand in the Pac-10.

Alright guys, we want to know what you think

Any feedback is welcomed. What did you like, what didn’t you like, what should we focus on, what were your initial thoughts? We’re tough and we can handle it if you think we were awful and you thought it sucked. We just want your honest feedback. Let us know.

Caught the very end

I take it you’re on landline and hoo is not? Is that the difference in sound quality? Because it’s pretty drastic.

by Tydides on Nov 3, 2009 7:08 PM PST up reply actions  

I was on a cell, don't know about rye

I’ll see if there is anything I can do for next week as far as calling in

by bruinhoo on Nov 3, 2009 7:11 PM PST up reply actions  

The cell cut out sometimes

I’ll have to keep that in mind myself if I’m going to call in. I don’t have a landline.

by Tydides on Nov 3, 2009 7:16 PM PST up reply actions  

Some of that was probably me, as well

Still working on my timing, particularly with interacting with rye. There are probably a couple of dead spots that can be traced to that.

It doesn't matter if he's on TalkShoe Pro

If he’s calling in. It only matters for the host or if you’re using VOIP.
