Media members, including broadcasters, have a duty to call out ******** officiating.

They always announce who the officials are anyway, so what's the big deal with naming them?

Too bad more officials aren't called out for their horrendous calls or non calls. They get away with too much incompetence and no consequences. Kudos to those announcers.

Typical ESPN. They post an article about some mean announcers and they post a highlight reel with that human airhorn Beth Mowens calling the plays even though she had nothing to do with the guys they were writing about. I thought I was going to hear some funny homer calls hating on the officials and all I got was that howler monkey screaming at me. In closing, I can't stand her. She is the worst.

The fact that refs are "untouchables" only emboldens them further. I've never known of any legitimate career where faults, mistakes, or just downright corruption aren't called out, reprimanded, etc. "Shhh. He f*cked up and cheated - but you can't say anything!"

There were many times this season where we knew the announcers were just biting their tongues, this includes both NU and national broadcast commentators.

All things considered, she should be on radio.

My favorite is when they say 'that's a questionable call.' No, that's an awful call. Quit excusing them. Tell the truth.

Referees are babied because college and pro sports both know that if they lose officials then they are screwed. No referees no games no money.

Oh come on, who doesn't love Beth Mowens after dark calling those west coast late night games.

I watched the video to see if she’s improved over the years
Nope
Still a beat or four behind the actual play
Her vocal inflections are poor, she’s still so bad.
doesn’t set up plays at all then starts howling after the play is almost complete

That screechy voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
