I can deal with Hammond, but Haden is just annoying...if NBC only televises ND for college football, then why not have homer announcers, bring back Tony Roberts. The vast majority of people watching are ND fans...aim to please them.

Hayden is not near as bad as ABC's Brent Musburger. C'mon Musburger when announcing you would have thought John David Booty was the second coming. I really thought he might follow him into the bathroom and report on the perfect way he wiped his ass.
Keith Jackson was the best college football announcer of all, but long as I don't have to hear "Hayden to a wide open J.J. Mckay, TD!" (Even after 36 years that still haunts me, what can I say?) I can listen to almost anything, except Brent Musburger.

When the agreement between ND and NBC was negotiated it was mutually agreed that the announcers would not be connected to ND. NBC wanted an aura of independence. They did not want to be known as the ND Network. ND agreed. The likes of Tony Roberts, Tom Pagna, Don Criqui, Hornung, Van Patrick, Lindsay Nelson, Ara Parshegian, and Lou Holtz would not get an interview.

I cannot stand Hammond. He is annoying, throws daggers towards ND when he has a chance, and he talks about announcing figure skating during the telecast. Hayden, meh. He isn't bad, but not good. He is 10 times better than most of the clowns ESPN hires to talk college football. The major downside is obvious. cannot have a trojan on the ND broadcast.

Another good game for Jimmy "Carson," right Haden? You marblemouths!

How long can these nuthuggers be allowed to continue decimating our broadcasts?

If I had to hear Hammond say another third down was "huge" for the Irish, I was gonna punch something. I hate these guys. At certain points during the game, I would just hit mute because I couldn't take their ramblings anymore. I know they did not want to be an ND network, but let's at least hear SOMETHING about the ND players. And how many mother f-ing times do we have to see close ups of Petey!

I thought I was hearing things... "Jimmy Carson" but after the 3rd time it was obvious it wasn't me . I think it was Hammond. The way Hayden anounced the usc touchdowns made me want to kick the TV in. Im sure they could do better then these two idiots. Im liking it better when ABC televises ND games..


maan guys Im depressed...so friggen close...but yet so far....


keep the faith !!

How about the blond bimbo, Alex Flanagan, at the half? As Weis is going off of the field, she asks him, "Coach, going into the half, down by 6, what is your demeanor, what is the atmosphere.....?"

Charlie, "Well, I think the fact that we're down 6 is actually a good thing, there." He goes on to mention that they didn't get much offense, and that he decided to punt on 4th down, to keep it at a one score game.

Her, "Why is it a good thing that you're down by 6 points?"

Stupid female. It could have easily been 21-7, at the half. The fact that a touchdown wins it for you, at that point, is definitely a positive.

I still enjoy her presence on the sideline. Personal opinion, I would rather see her naked than Erin Andrews.

Tom Hammond is retarded.

Two weeks ago, it was "Harrison Ford".

This week, it was "Jimmy Carson".

Did anyone else notice Spike Lee on the sideline in full USC garb? He must really hate ND. I saw him in person on the other team's sideline against scUM AND FSU in '93. Talked shit to him after we beat FSU. He is such a bandwagon jumper. I can't stand him, and I will now boycott all of his movies.

Thank you.

that broadcast made me sick, they had sc on the brain the whole time! they would say barkley completes it to robby parris and a whole bunch of shit, I didnt hear it but my mother said she even heard haden say "my Team" when referring to sc.

Maybe one of you South Bend guys can help me out, is there any radio station that broadcasts the notre dame broadcast online? with Criqui and Pinkett? ive been looking since saturday to find something.

LOL. We have our own channel. They fall all over themselves praising us. WTF are you guys talking about? Remember 3-9. They found good stuff to talk about every week.

Of course I watched it. What is wrong with that? Every week we do the piece on ND students, alums, and faculty doing good works. you can't possibly be claiming that NBC doesn't go out of their way to be ridiculously pro-ND.

if i closed my eyes saturday i felt like i was in an LA sports bar listening to an sc broadcast. That is uncool, i love Nbc but that was a little too much, is it so much to ask to get an irish alum in there?

You are being silly. The kid had a great game and seems like a good dood. NBC is and will always be very much pro-ND. however, when we play USC obviously a lot of USC viewers will be giving them rating points so they throw them a bone or two.

101.5 FM in South Bend has much better announcers, but I have a 6 second TV lag with AT&T Uverse, so it's too annoying to handle.

I'd rather listen to Tim Mcarver and that moron Ron Darling talk about the evolution of the Baseball then sit there week after week listening to the two gabroni brothers murder names "Jimmy Carson" and "Harrison Ford" there was no bias during that broadcast. Pat Hayden nseemingly had an ORGASM everytime USC scored. Hammond? he was just as bad. Obviously you have a different opinion Phil.....and thats ok..but your outnumbered on this thread those two guys stink. Only problem is I live in Buckeye country and I dont get there radio broadcasts otherwise I wouldn't listen to Abott and Costello again.
