Horrible Announcing

**AirWalke** · 10-24-2009, 06:06 PM

It was a pretty bad broadcast, but it's a lot harder to notice when your team is constantly recovering fumbles and intercepting passes!

I remember seeing the Brandtner/Taufouu mix-up... my first thought was "Whoa, did Brandtner put on weight?"

I heard this too. It just had a feeling of "Teacher! Teacher! Look what he did!". Pretty dumb. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a penalty.

Yes it was, but if were gonna talk about blatant officiating mess ups the ejection was uncalled for. He deserved 15 yards and a first down for actually hitting him. But it was not malicious and therefore did not deserve the ejection.

Dave Lapham is the same one who said Todd Blythe got "face-raked" against Texas in 2007, and it caused a stir because everyone thought he said "face-raped."

Overall, Lapham isn't too bad.

You guys remember Terry Bowden doing the color in 2005 when we were at Nebraska? He may as well have been wearing a Huskers sweatshirt.

Arnaud apparently was playing near the end of the 4th quarter... ?

No, that was Austen Arno.

Also, one of the announcers said "despite the Cyclones success, it hasn't translated into momentum in recruiting." I literally muted the game at the 4 minute mark of the 2nd quarter so I don't know what else I missed. NO RESPECT!!!

I tried to go with the webcast audio but the delay was so bad they were about a play behind. I listenend to the TV announcers most of the game. They were VERY complimentary of Paul Rhoads and gave a lot of special attention to Jesse Smith - gave him a lot of praise. I thought the announcers treated us well.

As the game went along they gave us more love. Still, they were defintely pro Nebraska.

Announcers love saying "horse collar."

These guys were a couple of serious dbags, but what do you expect. Nebraska is a brand and we're not. We can only hope that someday the announcers will be falling over themselves over what a privilege it is to play at JTS.

Keep on winning and we'll get the A team guys like Musberger....ERR oh wait.

The announcers aren't responsible for the graphics that are put on the screen, but I did think that Brandter had spent some time in the tanning booth. They said Tiller was from San Antonio, not San Diego. I don't know if that's right, but thats what they said.

They said San Diego once during the game, and said San Antonio before the game started.

He's the worst knowitall in all of CFB. But apparently he knows little. I wish the radio and TV could be timed right to listen to Eric and John with the TV.
