WIWU-TV launched Wildcat Week this year with the help of a great staff, some hard-working student producers and IWU's athletic department. This week, with the show on the road, we've been looking for the perfect backdrop and today, at least in Branson, I think we found it. (take a look at our third show to see the least perfect location for a television show).
Each day, while driving on the campus of College of the Ozarks for the tournament, we passed a beautiful fountain. Once I saw we had patio furniture nearby, electrical power and a day without rain, I knew we just had to try shooting one time in this spot before leaving town. Coach Tonagel was his usual gracious self, waiting around after the final game of the season to analyze and answer our questions. You can see the results in these photos (and how it looks just out of camera range - see if you can spot Dr. Mike Fratzke sitting nearby).
Anyway, TV geeks like us get excited when we can make a little magic, working under adverse conditions. And when you try to do TV on location, Murphy's law is always operative. Unfortunately, we can't show you the final result on video yet, because technical recording problems caused us to lose our segment from Sioux City. We will fix the problem and bring you this edition of Wildcat Week on Monday, so you can see just how hard the ladies and men played in their third-round games. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the content here on Wildcat Central and this brief glimpse behind the camera of the people working hard to bring these tournaments home to you.
