Yeah I imagine it would be slightly better now because at least Fox has college specific announcers now.

Fox's coverage is nothing like it was back then.

They basically only did the BCS games. They didn't do any college football during the season. Now, they have games on every single weekend, and they are heavily involved in Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac 12 broadcasts.

It would be a lot better.

I really like Herbie. McFarland and Pollack are hit or miss. I agree that Matich and Galloway suck.

Plus then we'd get Gus calling the natty and that would be epic.

I’ll agree with you on this. Other than Klatt and Gus, FOX On-Air guys are bad.

For the most part, their college football analysts are pretty good.

I strongly disagree.

They put pretty faces and demonstrative personalities on TV. It's ESPN.

Wannstedt and Leinart are fun TV. Certainly not any worse than whatever studio show ESPN would roll out with Galloway and Palmer or whoever

ETA: Rece Davis does a very good job, even though he can be annoying occasionally.

You’ve gotta be under 25 to think Gus Johnson would be “epic”. Gus is horrendous. “OMG!!! A 3 yard run!!!”

He's certainly different.

Lightyears better than Chris Fowler.

Totally agree that Fowler is meh as a play-by-play guy. Same with Herbstreit on color. They should be in studio. Blackledge is the only guy doing games I really like on ESPN. They should have promoted Nessler to top dog.

I'm fine with Gus and Klatt doing games, but I think the Fox studio is a clown show. Wanny is like the Ditka Bears SNL fans personified, Leinart speaks in cliches, Robert is a dick, etc.

I don't mind Fowler. He's sort of boring though. He's a better studio host than play by play guy. I don't like Herbstreit during games either. He talks constantly.

Idk why they forced those two into the booth as their "big game" team when they had a lot of quality play-by-play guys on their payroll at the time. Doesn't make sense.

This is so exaggerated. He only pops off when someone Big happens

Your definition of something big must be 7 yard runs

I think Griese needs moved away from Levy

The Friday crew of Amin and Dvoracek are good

Patrick and Tubberville along with Pasch and MacElroy are good also

But Herbstreit needs to just do studio shows

I’m in the minority but I do like Brando and Tillman as a pair

I think you've commented on this before, but I love when Mark Jones goes from nerdy guy voice to ghetto voice and says something ridic like "go on with your badself."

When he goes to his 80’s ghetto talk is usually a drink during that Cartel thing I retired from

There were a few times they showed the Gator/Tax Slayer Bowl. But that is a bit strange they don’t bid on more bowls. Was this year the first time the Holiday Bowl was on FS1? I remember that game used to always be on ESPN.

Tuberville was very stale to me. I like Brando, but most of FOX’s crews are horrible. Davis and Quinn were awful on the Foster Farms Bowl. At least during their BCS era they had Vasgersian (very underrated to me) and Brennaman doing the games. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I like most of the ESPN crews.
