ND's Talking Heads ... The good, bad & ugly

[Irishdrunk]

FWIW, I really enjoyed Driskell's breakdown of the OSU formations and our sets. I was surprised he was tough on Rees. Good for him not being a typical boot-licker.

 

[Irishdrunk]

Kudos to Driskell for being hard on ND. But how do you do 2 1/2 hours after that mess. What is really to be discussed??? ND is now a total Dumpster Fire. Freeman looked lost at the end of the game. We are in massive trouble here - full stop.

I didn't watch the Marshall game last week (saved by a wedding it seems).

How were the Jac Collinsworth and Jason Garrett duo as broadcasters? I don't think I've read a single thing about them good or bad this week.

JC was ok, JG was just bad IMO.

I struggled with it. I didn't find either to be particularly good.

The whole NBC broadcast felt very low energy and bland.
But, then again, so did the product on the field.

I thought they sounded like they were the local guys covering a high school game on the radio,.... I thought it was legit terrible.

If the team didn't look like shit, this is most likely what we would be complaining about this week. I thought JC was low energy and JG had no idea how he got there.

I think I was just too pissed off about the product on the field to notice much about the broadcast. I feel like I blacked out from 2:30 until about 5:30 on Saturday.

But most, if not all, on IE were not impressed.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

The vibe of the games is awful. And it's not just the product on the field, I greatly dislike the pairing.

Agreed - ND on NBC owes its viewers better than that.

I’ve always felt this way with our NBC broadcasts. I like the extra segments on our team, and at times I’ve liked the play-by-play, but never the overall product.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

At this point, I don’t give a fiddler’s fuck who is calling the game. Just put a better product on the field. Bitching about the booth is a luxury I long for.

Jac was fine. Not Tirico obviously. Garrett I found similar to Brees really. His voice is naturally more monotone but he’s knowledgeable. Not really captivating, but neither was Brees. His voice/personality is just not made for this profession so don’t really get it.

I have felt like this forever. There is something about the NBC broadcast that feels subdued. CBS and Fox both seem to do a better job of capturing the atmosphere in the stadium and on the field.

Basic mediocre white guy?

By voice I thought I was listening to Tony Dungy most of the time that Garrett was speaking.

Saban referencing ND losing to Marshall and he ain't wrong

Any coach would be smart to approach the game more like Nick Saban does.

 

[Irishdrunk]

Saban is less of a Players' Coach...LOL. Prickly guy.

 

[Irishdrunk]

Its kind of like a John Wooden approach but just a little more assholic in the delivery. Saban is a lot or like Kelly than Freeman in handling the Press.

Step on everyone's balls and believe in it. Leave no doubt.

Absolutely.

A consistent thought I had when listening to the ND podcasts is the staleness in the ad's that each one has.

IB - BD saying "aromatically pleasing" is cringe af
On3 - Mike Singer announcing that augies as new sponsorship for the 10th straight month irks me slightly more each time I hear it.
II - The Mike Brown childrens book spot sounds like some first year communications major's first draft.
Rivals - Eric Hansen talking about socks for 2 min, see "IB" above.

I have to fast forward through 15 minutes of ads on The Shamrock. I pay for The Athletic - I should stop being lazy and just listen to their ad-free version.
