McDonough is a good PBP guy, but is hampered being paired with Speilman and McShay is horrible on the sidelines.

McDonough gets an 8
Speilman a 4
McShay a 2

Average 4.67

I had them on mute, as usual, so they sounded wonderful!

I had a drive-by truckers playlist going in the background. 85 songs. Lasted all game and then some.

I think they actively made the game worse. Just really boring and droning on. It made me actively yawn a few times. The audio was also very bad. I didn't hear the Tiger band once the entire game. I barely heard the crowd to be honest. I hope they never do another LSU game cause I felt like the entire broadcast took away from the game.

best quote of the night, referring to our offense(paraphrased,) "a comeback will be tough, this offense isn't made for scoring a lot of points, or scoring very fast"

They sounded like a couple Wisconsin homers to me for the whole game.

It was annoying.

10/10-spielman/McDonough are my favorite announcing duo. I do agree they muted the crowd/band noise though

I would prefer to listen to Hawthorne, but thetime lag is so much that it's like watching/listening to two different games

I like the play by play guy.

Speilman was horrid, like he always is.

McShay looked like he needs to go to rehab.

I mentioned in the game thread last night that it was the most boring announcers I've ever heard. Just lifeless.

They make Vern and Gary sound like Gus Johnson.
