Anybody else think Fox's BCS game coverage sucked?
Usually the best t.v. coverage is the one you don't notice. I spent a lot of the game yelling at my t.v. when Fox wouldn't show a replay or when they would show half of a replay and then cut it off. Some of the angles of the field were terrible; especially during live action- they would show what at times would seem to be the worst angle to appreciate the action. And the play by play commentators- Brennaman and Davis, Jeez these guys stink!
Wonderful, can't wait for Fox's coverage of the Super Bowl

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

Fox needs to stick to covering the NFL and let CBS, and hate to say it ESPN/ABC cover college football.

The lack of replay and cut to OSU bands were horrible.. I dont blame fox just the person in the control room calling the cameras. He sucked. There were maybe 4 replays shown all game. And 1000000 shots of some fat arse in OSU's band banging his bass.

I was yelling at them already before the game started when they _didn't_ show the beginning of TGBFTL's pregame --- da da da DA!!!.

At least the band had enough presence to include it during halftime -- my kids and wife just rolled their eyes when they finally played it, and I yelled "THAT'S what I'm talking about."

but ANYTHING is better than Mushburger.

With a combination of too many commercials, terrible commentary, and not showing replays or explaining why flags were being thrown(on at least one personal foul I still don't know what happened)...I think fox really lowered the bar.

Personally I like Charles Davis as a commentator. I like the audio of CBS, and I don't mind Verne and Gary THAT much lol... CBS for BCS NC!!!1

Brennaman is a decent baseball announcer but terrible for football. Who else was annoyed that damn near the entire pre-game was a puff piece for Ohio State. 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.

Every play he talked about how the chains were in someone's favor.

They did not even show the last play of the first quarter.

quote:

1st and 10 at LSU 16 Matt Flynn pass complete to Early Doucet for 6 yards to the LSU 22.


and they did not show an OSU personal foul call, showed archie griffin highlights, then said "oh must have been a personal foul 15 yard penalty"

the lack of replays sucked, but I enjoyed the announcers. Also, believe it or not, I enjoyed Howie and Terry last year for the Sugar Bowl. They're not perfect, but they're fresh in comparison to the ABC and CBS crews. Unlike ESPNs announcers, Fox guys seem to actually not be pulling for one team over the other.

I promise you this, I have ZERO desire to see JUMPER after last night. Anikin is a PB, IMO

The windows commercial really sealed the deal...
