It was awful. To be honest, really not a whole lot out there. I like Gus. Brady Quinn is decent PbP from the little that I've heard. The duo that I like the most is Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge.

Brad Nessler, YES. Blackledge, as long as he is not stuffing that bear trap of a mouth with whatever sandwich he is made to eat during that stupid segment that he did a few years ago (Taste of the Town). Drove me nuts to watch that man eat. Shit dripping off the side of his mouth and from his chin. Talking and chewing at the same time. Just wanted to throat punch him that flippin hog.

Why does NBC keep Hicks as the #1 if they are going to send him to do golf events this often? He must be doing the Frys.com this weekend(?)

I'm with you TKO, bring on Tommy. At least he doesn't put me to sleep. Hicks and Flutie have the most monotonous voices in broadcasting. Someone has to have a distinct delivery to separate the hum.

Hopefully Amir Carlisle gets targeted 15 times this Saturday so the 20 something, Gus Johnson sack sniffers go into full meltdown after the game.

Fack it and load the box with ND alums. Put some homers in the box and own the fact your only college football programming is ND.

Dandy Don is propped up at this point. He is perfect for radio.

Because Hammond is made for TV? Gives my kids the creeps any time they put his mug on the air, me too for that matter. The images of him leaning into Mayock with that molester smile will be forever etched in my mind as the most uncomfortable moments in broadcast history.

I love Don's voice. Sounds like football to me. I'd take him or Tommy ANY day over Hicks.

I don't understand this? What's the difference in physical abilities needed between calling a game on tv and radio if you know technically how to do both?

Another head scratcher... Who gives a rats azz what he looks like? You see him for what, 30 seconds a game? I don't see anyone bagging on Vern Lundquist who looks like a drunk, out of work Santa begging for quarters in Clearwater Beach and there surely wasn't this faux outrage over Harry Caray when he looked far kookier than Tommy even if they doubled his make up.

I thought they were trying to load it with BC alums, so that all the ND announcers aren't homers, unlike other networks, which CLEARLY do not mind if their main teams have a very slanted rooting interest. ND on NBC? It is more like an NFL pregame on SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

The lineup that they have for this group, was, and always has been atrocious.

Somebody needs to lock the window in the back below the broadcast booth so this guy can't seek in again.

If that doesn't work, check under any loose sod in the end zones for his coffin.

Mayock was far and above the best color guy in a long time. Still don't know why he was let go

Apparently they thought he was too analytical for the average fan. Imagine that, an analyst who was too basically too good at his job. Ridiculous.

Hicks was boring, Tirico is a huge upgrade. But Flutie needs to be the focus. I don't even buy into the "he hates ND" crowd, he's just a shit color commentator.
