A movie I thought was going to be cool now annoys me so much that I am boycotting it. Another good observation! Damn, I'd already forgotten about my cursing when those shitty "jumper-sponsored" angles were shown. And it was usually a play that took place like two quarters before!!!

But when OSU scored, and you heard absolutely nothing when they weren't mic'ing up certain sections, it became obvious what they were doing. When they would pan the crowds, you would see only red. However, when the camera was filming the game, everything in the background of almost every one of those shots was purple and gold. That was the worst game coverage I think I ever seen. And that's in some pretty strong company.

Because of that fact, I enjoyed the coverage, until I turned it to ESPN and had to listen to Chris Fowler!

I think someone on Awful Announcing kept up with the band shots during the Orange Bowl because of so many band shots during the Fiesta, and the final tally was like 110 shots of the band during the Kansas/Va Tech game

(Posted on 1/8/08 at 12:11 p.m. to classictiger) I've looked at only 20-30 minutes of the tape, but what I've seen sucks a lot less than ABC's coverage of the 2003 NC. Last night, you could actually hear the crowd and the bands. This post was edited on 1/8 at 12:12 p.m.

I thought it quite refreshing to hear people CALL THE GAME! Instead of stumping for a conference or team...I also like how they show the Bands etc. If you want all the BS you can always turn to ESPN.

ZERO bias whatsoever! BAD: Agree needed more angle shots and show penalties. There was several penalties that I saw at the game that they didn't televise. WTF? IMO, I would still take FOX in a route over ABC/ESPN/CBS. Finally, I wish FOX would do a College Game day equivelant to keep ESPN honest!

Zero bias is a nice change of pace but talking about the chains always being in someones favor and the constant talk in the second half about OSU regaining momentum just because they were only losing by 14 again instead of 21 made me mute my TV.

(Posted on 1/8/08 at 2:14 p.m. to Duckzzz) I just kept saying WTF is this doing on my TV set. I liked that they showed the bands, adds to the college experience. I do think they have a problem with transitioning between the pro and college game. More replays and better sideline stuff is needed, but anything is better than CBS. ESPN has the best direction and overall production, but it really is agenda oriented. Each one could be improved. USC probably thinks ESPN is great, it is all perception.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the only replay on the late-hit out of bounds by Ohio State was from a crappy angle so I couldn't tell if it was legit or not. The announcers didn't complain too much, so I am guessing it was, but I would like to see it with my own eyes.

(Posted on 1/9/08 at 3:11 p.m. to classictiger) i liked the play by play guy and the analyst. I like how they talk about the football game they are at, instead of talking about the rest of the CFB world like ESPN does.

THe black guy was informative. Knew about LSU football history most guys blow over. Gave Paul Dietzal props. Didn't expect that. And they didn't jabber on as bad as Linquist and Daniel-san. I hate those two with a passion. They are the Al Queda of television announcers. They blow up over nothing. Jackasses those two.
