LA/Arizona TV Game

[Sam Hill]

So, yeah, the big UBC-TV broadcast of Arizona/Los Angeles turned into a Ustream production on Arizona's website.

Oh, and it was craptacular.

The "official hostess" girl 13 minutes in asking the coach, "So you guys are gonna kick some butt tonight, right?" was just emblematic of the freak show that is the ABA and its teams.

The announcers were as shaky as the camera work. God, what a joke.

Does anyone associated with the ABA ever hire ANYONE with ANY experience doing ANYTHING?

Have they ever awarded a franchise to an ownership group with ANY track record of running a professional sports team?

They advertised this dreck as being in "50 Million Households." Such morons.

I'm still researching this team, looking into their validity, but the Giants seem to be on TV. At first I thought this might be a UBC stream, but I think UBC was in New Jersey.

One of the first rules of life is this... if you spell it "Profesional", you aren't.

Forget the game, skip to the 01:09 mark and watch the half-time show. Words can not describe this train wreck. Guess this may be a Paul Allsup production.

This isn't the UBC game, but the game the two teams played this last weekend in Phoenix. The UBC game was played in Los Angeles.

But yeah, this is pretty craptacular.

Originally, the return game in Phoenix was supposed to be a "television game," too, according to Arizona's schedule. Maybe this was what they meant, or maybe it was scheduled to be a UBC game at first.

Actually, check out http://www.arizonascorpions.co (yes, .co, not .com because .com would be too many letters) and see the graphic on the front page promoting the Feb. 9 game.

"Live National TV Broadcast," "UBC TV NETWORK," and "50 Million Households" are all at the top.

As with all things ABA, that was, or course, bull****. That's all this collection of "entertainers" and guys who played ball in high school can do.

Based on the video camera's constant motion, are we sure this wasn't filmed aboard the stranded Carnival cruise ship?

[Paul S]

The incredible thing.........is there are actually people watching this. The crowd must number darn near 200. Admittedly the parents of those young cheerleaders are probably all wondering what is going on.............but there are fans in the stands.

The guy with the underwear over the shorts is just..............well.......incredible. Its just off the charts unreal.



Well spotted Cincy Monarchs. Well spotted. I never actually got to the 1.09 mark.


And ABARWB is correct in his analogy between an ABA game and the Carnival Triumph. Everyone is out money, wondering who is in charge, looking at chaos and just wanting to get off as soon as possible.
