Question re: FOX broadcast

[Dinkin_Flicka]

I dont watch much pro football - do these announcers and talking heads suck this bad at that too, or is it just college football?

 

[rolltideas]

It's Fox. They are bad.

As i said in another thread, i don't like how fox is doing all the bcs games this year, they are horrible.

I was actually sitting here thinking how much I had enjoyed Fox broadcast of their 3 college games so far this year...I think they have done a MUCH better job than Musberger and co at ABC...I'm glad to see the BCS has moved to Fox...Tomorrow night is Terry and Howie...SHould be good

JMO, though

 

[Jack Bourbon]

And Joe Buck isn't even announcing. He's horrid.

Well there's your answer - the bama fans hate them and the UT guy likes them.

Is Herbie now the unquestioned best analyst/commentator?

I enjoy the change of pace as well., abc/espn almost has a monopoly on college football, would like to see fox more involved.

LOL

Would you honestly rather have Bret Musberger or Dan Fouts or Pam Ward, etc

Seriously? Are we listening to the same guys ramble?

Yes, but those are isolated pockets of suckage, and ABC/ESPN has Herbie. It would appear that FOX sucks top to bottom.

I like Fox's broadcast.

They called a great Fiesta bowl last night.

YMMV...

Yes, I particularly liked the announcer in the BCS game saying we must have a playoff...

The only good out of Fox I've seen tonight was TAYLOR HICKS, WHEW!!...white boy got soul! :biggrin2:

At halftime the host of the "All Access" halftime show said there would be a press conference tomorrow at 10 AM to announce his decision. My wife and I looked at each other and frowned. Heck, even SHE knows that's wrong.

However, I really emjoyed the team that did last night's game. Barry Alvarez was really good and had a lot of insight that the normal talking heads never would, particuarly in the rushing game.

Regardless of how good or bad the booth is, the audio feed that I am getting is horrid. The play by play is barely audible over the crowd mikes and I know the stadium isn't that loud because I can see empty seats everywhere.

Side note: Don't know if anyone else caught it or not but before kickoff when they were broadcasting from field level a bunch of young cheerleaders had taken to the field to perform some dance number before kickoff. What song comes on for them to perform to? None other than "Sweet Home Alabama". Kind of apropos with the game in Miami and supposedly Plan B on either sideline. :biggrin2:

No way ...now that is classic

Well, they aren't the only ones saying it.

Whatever you think of the playoff idea (I hate it), I would imagine the BCS folks were not thrilled.
