Yet another reason why I hate FOX broadcasting

[miggy402]

Did anyone catch the impromptu Tostitos advertisement in the middle of the fiesta bowl? They cut to a shot of the bench where the camera man had a bag of tortilla chips in front of the camera, from which he then grabbed a chip from and ate it. Can't we save the ads for commercial time instead of game time? They already had the Tostitos name plastered everywhere you look! Heck, that's why I got TIVO!

Just another example how broadcasters are intruding on the integrity of the game. Hope I don't see the camera man dangle a CITI credit card on the screen in the middle of the NC game.

If only Victoria's Secret were sponsoring the game. Or... "micro-thongs 'R US".

This is Fox we're talking about. Their full gauntlet of channels suck beyond explanation.

FWIW, the HD broadcast of last night's game was the best that I have ever seen of a sporting event. It had a 3D feel to it, so crisp was the image...

I noticed that, too. The HD picture quality on my TV was definitely better than usual. I hope the Bama/Texas game is that crisp and sharp...

They have to pay for those multi-million dollar conference contracts somehow.. Cant have it both ways.

what I hate about Fox, other than the poor announcers was how much camera time the fans and bands received. Did anyone notice early in the game, there was a fumble that they didn't even notice? The running back got wrapped up, and the camera's went to an audience reaction shot before the whistle sounded. Meanwhile the runner fumbled the ball to the other team. The announcers barely noticed.

IMO (regarding sports), Fox has the best HD broadcasts, though CBS is really good at times as well.

ESPN's HD is average at best.

FOX needs to either commit to college football or get out. They do 5 bowl games a year and the people they have do NOT know what they are talking about. They need to stick to the NFL.

I wish we had Time Warner Cable, I heard they were going put the ax on Fox after 12 31. We have Cablevison, but I did see the ads. I hate Fox......

There was WAYYYYYY too much of the fans, cheerleaders, and bands! I thought maybe Fox's goal was to put everyone in the stadium on camera. They could have had a lot more replays of the actual game action.

Not to mention the 40 some-odd cheerleader/band shots in the game. I'm so tired of Fox's college football. Their NFL coverage isn't even this bad and it is terrible.

I didn't mind the camera shots of the TCU majorettes. I found them to be much more exciting than the actual game. :biggrin2:

I thought the majorettes were pretty nice as well, and the TCU cheerleaders were fantastic.

I've thought for a while now that FOX delivers the best hi-def picture for a game.

 

[Alasippi]

The Fox Channel picture is fantastic, I just think their announcers are too NFL oriented and don't bring out the emotion which, to me, makes college football the greatest game on the planet.

Whenever Fox does the games I get this condescending feel from the announcers. They seem totally out of place doing college games.
