same CBS announcers as last week

[DukeSlater]

Maybe it's just me but CBS' production is the best in the biz and I generally like their announcers, replay, pre and post game etc. FOX and FS1 has virtually zero crowd and field noise and they pump in fake noise IMO and it's very un-natural...maybe it's me or my setup yet I prefer CBS and then NBC.

Interesting, because I thought that was one of the worst video performances on a football game I've seen in decades. Poor angles, missed action. It was like rookies were running the cameras and the director(s) were out to lunch. IMHO, of course.

Great crew. Take them every time after the carnival barker for Fox

Do I detect a bit of racism there, or is it just me?

Charles Davis is a class act. Nessler has been a good announcer, but the game last weekend was not one of his better games.

Indeed. And you're being quite generous, IMHO.

I think Nessler is the best in the business. I’ll cut him slack on 81’s name. Even our own beat writers mess up our guys’ names. Chad ‘Spitty K’ Salivakow says WEEZ-koff instead of WIZE-koff.
He still struggles and says Va-NAH-may. It’s Voh-NAH-mee. Like Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds. Gor…laaaah…me.

Names are one thing, although that's a fundamental aspect of broadcasting. But being biased is unacceptable for a national broadcaster, and Nessler was cheering for Michigan all the way. No doubt about that. But then CBS has gone to hell. This is just one more piece of evidence.

CBS is the best in the business. They make the Big Ten opener feel like the Super Bowl

Can you show us on the doll where Nessler and CBS touched you?

I've never liked Van Pelt and like him even less now. When I was younger, I loved ESPN, I watched it all the time. Now that the Hawks rarely ever play on it, no need to tune in.

I sync the Hawkeye radio network with the game and listen to Dolph and Pat….. I know people complain about Dolph but to me he’s as Iowa as it gets and I figure any year could be his last

I miss Eddie but Pat is doing a great job replacing him

I've done that with basketball, especially when I detested the announcers.

Google SVP and the Kinnick wave. Might change your mind. I’ve always really liked SVP. Also the one about his dog Otis, I dare you to not reach for a Kleenex.
