Play-by-play without delay
As I waded through the crowd outside of Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater on Saturday evening I spotted three or four guys dressed in referees shirts and wearing some tall contraption with a sign on it. Closer inspection revealed they were selling radios for $25 which would provide the Troy State-OSU broadcast to fans with “no delay.”
Apparently, the over-the-air broadcasts of college football games reach the earphones of listeners in the stadiums a few seconds after the play has ended. That makes for a frustrating listening experience.
So, someone came up with this alternative that catches the broadcast as it happens. I thought the sales folks were enterprising people who hit on an ingenious gimmick. Turns out, I was told, they were employed by the university.
Each of the four sales people I saw outside the stadium seemed to be doing a brisk business about one hour before kickoff.
