Tonight's Show

Coincidentally, the show will start the same time as seat selection at The Line. We will still be going live from 6-8 though. The good news is that there is internet access in the Ramin Room so the 1000+ people who have to wait to select seats will have something to do for at least the first two hours.

We will talk about the Line for a little bit but spend the majority of show talking about the Red-White game. We'll cover just about every player, particularly the new guys. We'll talk about some possible line combinations and the potential special teams personnel. We will then go into more general thoughts - concerns, question marks, strengths, etc. There will also be some analysis on the out-of-town scores from the past two weekends. Like always, there will be trivia questions dispersed throughout the show.

Listen in from 6-8 PM at www.sloperadio.com. You can get your thoughts on by calling (607) 821-2522, emailing theweeklycowbell@sloperadio.com, or IMing SlopeRadio. Listen in if you can and call/email/IM your thoughts and answers to trivia questions. Hope to hear from you.

There is NO internet access in the Ramin Room. I just ran over to a library really quickly to check e-mail and eLynah. It's been REALLY frustrating not to have internet at Ramin during the long line, particularly since I was counting on it to get some homework done. Isn't CIT trying to make the campus wireless? Where is Red Rover in that area?

Just went to the site to get podcasts... is the Cowbell going to be podcasted ever? I thought all of Slope Radio was, but apparently not.

calgARI '07 · October 15, 2006, 05:37:58 PM

Yes, I believe it was podcasted for last week and it should be from now on.

Just got my line number (section B, row 7, AMAZING!) and now I get to listen! However, I can't find last week's podcast anywhere? Where do I go?

I am not able to find ANY of the podcasts of the cowbell show. Since I'm able to get other SlopeRadio podcasts, I have to believe that I'm looking in the correct place. LAS, congrats on the line number; Sec. B, row 7 is very fine.

GREAT show tonight! I was so glad I got to tune in after my line number. Thanks especially for addressing all my questions, and even touching on the ones you had already discussed. I'll admit that last year I went to my first hockey game pretty much as a facetimer, but over the course of the year I got really into it and started attending a lot of the away games as well, and now I want to learn as much as I can about strategy, etc. Your show is really great for someone like me who doesn't know a lot but wants to learn. Thanks again Ari!

I had a line number far enough back (Sec B, Row 13) that I missed the show, so I, too, would like to hear the podcast.

calgARI '07 · October 16, 2006, 02:30:54 PM

We're working on getting the podcast thing worked out. I'm fairly sure there will be a podcast from last night's show up pretty soon.

Part of the podcast from two weeks ago is available at the Itunes music store. Look for "Prime Time Slide Podcast" (it's mislabeled)

For one of my classes, all the readings are online, and online only. It's about 50 pages per class, which I'm not about to print. I survived the hockey line by heading to the library for 20 mins, saving the articles on my computer, then heading back to read. For another class, you can buy the course packet for $75, or you can access the whole thing online and only print out 5 or so pages per week of homework - most people just get it online.

That's not even mentioning professors who require you to post to discussion boards or complete quizzes online. So much coursework is online now (not to mention how often you have to check your e-mail for updates and last minute announcements), that the hockey line is rather difficult without internet access even just over two days.

Every single worksheet, homework assignment, syllabus, or anything else for Spanish is online. The student has the responsiblity to print everything out. Even the short movies we have to watch can only be accessed online.

A number of my law school professors did the same thing (putting many or all of the course materials online rather than in hardcopy), and as a group they're hardly the most tech-savvy people I've ever met.
