No different than when Keith Jackson called the Rose Bowl
Why didn't the Big12 ever get credit for athletic skill positions all over the field when it was referred to as defense optional league? Michigan may be athletic for a Big10 team, but we've been seeing that type of play for a long time. It's not new.
You're a bit older than me then, I only remember Enberg watching YouTube videos of old games.
It will be interesting when they are playoff games. Will be some good games until the Semis, as usual.
No clue man I’m not in the announcer booth or in media. Lot of elite big12 skill guys in the NFL. Only thing I can think of is a lack of big12 defensive guys getting drafted. Once a narrative is out there it’s really hard to switch. I mean Clemson used to be synonymous with failing in big game’s now they have a different rep but it took a lot to get there.
Hey...my memory is still intact (at least partially):

Yeah, seems like he was probably the announcer for NBC on a couple of those early 80s Hayden Fry Rose Bowls against maybe UCLA or Washington.
Anybody else at the game when Utah visited JTS? All I remember from that night is Shaky Smithson running wild all over Paul Rhodes.
Orrrrr, those narratives have more to do with promoting TV properties than actually reporting what's happening on the field. I know it's odd to think that ESPN would misrepresent how good tOSU is to further promote their TV properties. They wouldn't do that, would they?
Maybe another poster gave Ohio State’s opt outs as an excuse. I thought you mentioned it.
If opt outs are a valid excuse you could say we outplayed Clemson.
So the DB who made the int in the Iowa game to seal the win for Kentucky wasn't supposed to be in the game. He got hurt a few plays earlier and was supposed to be out for the rest of the game but he wanted to get out there and finish the game. He walked into the post game press conference on crutches.
Mad props to him, that's the type of player I like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Big 12 qbs in particular have proven themselves in he NFL quite often. And before that it had the b st wrs and rbs that went on to dominate the nfl too.
OSU receiver is making them look like a bunch of 3rd graders playing flag football.
I agree with every other part but the big 12 QB part. Before Mahommes almost every big 12 QB was a bust or was bottom 10 in the league.
Totally agree, ESPN has a vested interest in promoting the SEC as the best and every other conference as superior. Only reason it isn’t more blatant is because Bama is on a historical run.
