All MU Sports fans:
We're moving to a new domain name shortly. We'll be at www.mutvsports.com in less than a week; so if this starts to seem like it's not getting updated, it's probably because all the new (read: Good) stuff is going up on the new domain.
Stay tuned and I'll confirm when the new site is officially live.

MUTV's Growth Since My Freshman Year
In Chapter 2 of Imperial Purple by Edgar Saltus, Augustus Caesar is quoted as saying, "I received Rome in brick, and shall leave it in marble."
As Marquette Madness approaches, I sat back and thought about what a huge undertaking this remote broadcast is. While I do not quite share the extreme view of my contributions to MUTV as Caesar did to Rome, his quote made me think about the advances that MUTV has gone through over my years at the station. When I first joined as a freshman in the Fall of 2005 it was technologically impossible to broadcast live events from the AL. During that year MUTV was also completely reliant on tape-to-tape editing. Furthermore, the Sports Department did not have direct access to Marquette Athletes.
Now it is the Fall of 2008 and I am in my senior year. I like to think that I have grown at least a little wiser, but I know that MUTV has grown exponentially. The Madness broadcast on Saturday will be our third live broadcast from the AL this year alone (last year we had 8). MUTV is now almost completely digital, creates 12 new shows every week and streams many live broadcasts every semester. And every Wednesday we work with the Athletic Department to schedule four to six athletes to come to studio 7 in Johnston Hall for MUTV Sports: Sit down with a Marquette Athlete, which can be seen on this blog, gomarquette.com and muscoop.com.
But the advances don't end there. The Madness broadcast has grown in leaps and bounds. When MUTV first attempted to broadcast the event, only a two man crew provided audio to one camera that was focused on the floor of the AL. When viewers go to Madness this Saturday, they will see a crew of nearly 30 students, with 5 cameras, technical crews in 3 different locations, and a 4 seat set next to the court for interviews with athletes, coaches and beat writers. If you can't make it to the AL, and will be watching on gomarquette.com, you will see a broadcast with the most video footage and graphics that have ever been used in a live remote broadcast at MUTV.
The Madness broadcast has taken on a life of its own at MUTV as I'm sure it has within the Marquette Basketball community. We at MUTV hope that you enjoy the broadcast this Saturday, but we also hope you appreciate the tireless efforts that so many people at MUTV have gone through over the years to make this possible.

Marquette Madness, Saturday
We're less than one week away from the "kickoff" of MU Hoops this year (They've begun practicing but Madness was moved back a week because the students were on Fall Break). MUTV will be broadcasting it live from the Al starting at 5:30 CST on GoMarquette.com. Suffice it to say we have big plans and high hopes. There are a number of interviews being lined up with coaches, players and more; we have a number of videos about the program, its history, its present and its future. We've got a lot planned.
The Sports staff, Jonathan Ficke, Ritchie Donnelly and Brad Galli will be anchoring the broadcast; it will be produced by Brian Henry, and there are a ton of other hard-working students that will be instrumental in the production.
During the run up to the broadcast we will be posting interviews with the players, information about the broadcast and a ton of other MU Hoops-related info. Check back later this evening for a video of a 5-6 minute interview with point guard Maurice Acker.

Welcome to the MUTV Sports Blog.
This is a brand new venture of the MUTV Sports Department and basically we are going to try to give Marquette sports fans another source of coverage, and we’re going to bring you video that you can’t get anywhere else. Since this is new, we are still working on developing regular content, but will be making it a priority to update this on a regular basis and to do so as often as possible.
We intend to include stories from the Marquette Tribune, audio from Marquette University Radio and, of course, video from MUTV. Right now men’s golf, men’s and women's soccer, women’s volleyball, men's and women's tennis, and men's and women's cross country are all underway and we will be covering them extensively. Be sure to check in as the men’s basketball season gets closer as we will all be looking forward to another exciting season.
Speaking of men’s basketball, this year MUTV Sports is the sole provider of Marquette Madness to the world. In the days and weeks leading up to that broadcast be sure to check in regularly as we provide information and season preview information. After the event we will be bringing you video and analysis that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
With that said, I am looking forward to an exciting year of Marquette athletics and I know that all of you are too.
