Real Question About Acho…
Posted on 1/1/25 at 8:21 am

Is he autistic? Maybe some CT? Don’t mean to sound like an arse and am not being sarcastic. He was so incredibly bad. First time I’ve ever muted my tv during a game because of the announcer.

It was the Texas BBQ Bowl.... Did you expect the A Team announcers?

Just because a player sounds off, doesn't mean he has CTE. This crap has to stop.

The dude was way pro Baylor, had to mute.

Acho was twice named Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education.
[57] During his NFL rookie year, Bleacher Report rated Acho one of the 10 smartest players in the NFL

Probably not

Maybe I’m lucky but I have never let some background talk interfere with what I’m watching. I really honestly don’t even hear what they’re saying half the time and when I do hear it I rarely give it thought. I can see with my own eyes what’s going on.
My wife says I do that to her too though. I guess it’s a gift to block shite out.

No, just terrible at his job, but DEI

Dumb question. Just a very poor announcer.
Posted on 1/1/25 at 8:43 am to GetmorewithLes
Both announcers were so pro Baylor all game it was sickening. Even with 41 seconds left they were laying out the plan for Baylor to win.

At one point during the 3rd quarter, score 34-17,Baylor with the ball. He mentions Baylor was 3 scores down but if they score they would only be 2 scores down.
Thats when I realized he was just doing his best to not have dead air during the broadcast. I was not impressed but that’s the best he had and that’s all we can ask for in a non major bowl game

"I get it".... 
He must have used that exact phrase a dozen times. He needs to either stick to the studio or get some coaching about how to come across during a game. That is Broadcasting 101 that you don't use the exact same phrase time after time. If that had been used for a drinking game, we would all be drunk out of our minds.

The Rant has become a gossip board.

You should do this more often.
As I tell my family, football should be watched, not listened to.

It’s the language of where his family originates from and I believe him and his brother have a big footprint in with various charities and causes. It’s probably very important to him.
ETA and to be clear I do think Acho is a bad announcer/commentator. But that doesn’t make you dumb or autistic

Acho was so excited before Baylor blew the snap on that 4td down in the red zone. Then he was pretty much SILENT after our last TD. I thought that was pretty funny. His bias was an obvious as I’ve ever seen from an announcer.

You probably prefer someone like Ed O where most would need subtitles to follow along. Unbelievable
