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

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
