And don't get me started on all that Jumper crap popping up on the screen every two seconds. 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!!!

I love the way they mic'd up the OSU fans and zoomed on the patches of red. At first, I thought it was actually an OSU crowd. 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.

Some of their coverage may have been bad, but at least for the most part, they did not try to blow USCs cock like ABC did for the '03 BCS game against OK. Because of that fact, I enjoyed the coverage, until I turned it to ESPN and had to listen to Chris Fowler!

and cut to OSU bands were horrible..


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

I would take virtually anybody over Musberger. Can you imagine having to listen to him talk for the whole game about how great USC is?

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.

Not at all!

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.

Could they have found any other two guys who were more boring announcers? Man, they were awful


Watching the game now:

GOOD: Announcers are AWESOME!!! 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.

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.

I agree on the not enough replays. 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.

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.

I actually like the announcers. 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.
