ESPN/ABC vs. Fox

[Master Guns]

Those anti-ND clowns at ESPN/ABC should note how an un-biased professional crew calls a game. Good job Fox!

 

[Junkhead]

Agreed. Terry Bradshaw gets annoying after awhile, but they did ok.

Anyone notice, Time Brown with Jimmy Johnson. Classic!

I thought Tim B, and JJ were a good combo, they were crackin each other up.

 

[Mattmags]

a little too much small talk going on, but overall yes, they were very fair to both teams and even more favorable to ND at times. It was like watching 3 class clowns in a box trying to figure out what to talk about somtimes.

Bottom line it wasn't ruined by ESPN so I was happy.

 

[Vince Young]

That announcing crew took an awful game and at least made it bearable. Fun to listen to, and I don't think I heard a single completely totally jaw-droppingly dumb thing said the entire tonight. Most games features several of those.

Forget ABC... NBC could learn some lessons from this Fox crew!

 

[marv81s]

agreed!

I have really enjoyed the 3 bowl games that FOX has done so far, and the Cotton Bowl.

No matter how old Summeral gets, I still love listening to him do football games.

Fox's coverage was so much better than ESPN/ABC--fair and balanced.

i enjoyed howie and terry in the booth. the combo of tim and jimmie on the sideline was classic. i liked the broadcast.

you can tell the nfl guys enjoyed covering college football.

FOX did a great job with the game, but a few too many story lines as they all do. I would prefer to see more of the field and less shots of the crowd and sidelines. But abc/espn is no where close to the level of FOX with the games.

There were a few times when I was yelling at the screen because they cut to the camera of the crowd during the middle of a play, or right before the snap of another. But other than that, it was alright.

 

[Nardo!]

I loved Tim and Jimmy on the sidelines. That was great stuff.

 

[bbrennan]

The broadcast team was fine but I am completely tired of these 4 4.5 hour college games. Not that any network is good about this, but it is extremely difficult to get into a game when there is a 2-3 minute break after every 3-4 plays. I can't imagine being a player and trying to get into the flow of the game or really capitalize on momentum.

 

[GoshenGipper]

Other than the abbundant commercial breaks, ala NBC, and the several camera mistakes by cutting tto the croud or band at the wrong time I thought the did a very good job.

 

[Satans Little Helper]

what was up with Tim being homerific during halftime? I might be mistaken but leading in TOP at halftime is not necessarily dominating a game.
