ESPN Announcers are getting excited now! Shocker
Every TV announcer wants a close game. It’s better for ratings and is more dramatic.
This applies universally, not just for LSU.

a win for an underdog isn’t even bigger story than a close game. Don’t get it twisted.

Believe what I want? I spent 30 years in sports television. Believe me, Sparky, it’s all about the ratings and the announcers understand it. Their job is to keep folks tuned in…..nothing else.

It’s also because they want a game 3. After this series ESPN has nothing till football.

A close game and glazing the underdog aren’t mutually exclusive

I’ll bet they can’t wait to interview old Kevin after the game over Jay Johnson
