Watching the replay now, honestly this is decent coverage. All jokes aside, and even though it's the bottom tier, this is solid TV coverage imo.

Just mute the commentary as they obviously were more focused on VA Tech than calling the game neutral.

I am noticing that so far but then again I'm still in the first half.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Was the cast of One Tree Hill calling the game?

I enjoy these jokes as much as anyone, but honestly the presentation isn't any worse than ACCN.

Interesting.

I guess just proof in the pudding in how folks can look at something, a picture, what have you, etc. and make completely different interpretations/drawn conclusions, etc.

The PBP guy, Thom Brennaman is excellent, and, let's just say, considerably over qualified, to be broadcasting on the CW. He was a national broadcaster on Fox for years, and the Red's broadcaster for MLB before his inappropriate slur got him in trouble. And, in our cancel culture society, that was that.

He paid SU a lot of compliments. Mentioned how their time with Fran all week had been great, commented on his relationship with his once colleague and SU great, Tim Green, from nearby LHS to SU to the NFL, to lawyer, author, etc., etc. I thought he also made several other positve remarks about SU during the broadcast as well, along with being far from not neutral. However, that's me.

I think being cynical about the CW is just the cool thing to do right now.

How did you find the game on their app? I cannot find it..

I have YouTube TV and have it set to record all FBS games. Also I of course picked Orange as my favorite so all our games are on a convenient tab in the menu.

I wish I had a dollar though for every time he called us the "Orangemen." It was a lot. I'm surprised a producer or somebody didn't point it out to him after the first few times.

OK, thx. It doesn't appear on the CW Sports app.

Sounds like a nice feature. I use slingtv. So, for this game I had to watch HD OTA.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Tom Brennaman. on at least three occasions, I noticed, called the players by completely the wrong name. Haha.

They were late coming back from replay a few times to catch live action, which always annoys me. But the rest of the stuff is exaggerated by the board, as usual, because of the pre-conceived notion about it being on the CW.

Fair. I just like his voice, he has that classic play by play radio voice.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

I got to meet Thom's dad, Marty at a Reds game when I was a kid. Super nice guy. His partner Joe Nuxhall, was an old curmudgeon. Ironic as he was the youngest player in MLB history.

 

[RyanCuse44]

If we win against BC and Cal they will be favorite network for this year.

I think he's just trying to stay away from those fruit words.

Well done.

You couldn’t be any more wrong about Joe. Absolutely great guy. Did an amazing amount of work for charities here in Cincinnati. Other than you, I have never heard a negative word from anyone about him. He was beloved here

I'm not wrong about my encounter with him. I enjoyed pulling in WLW from my home in DeWitt if the wind was blowing right. I loved hearing "this is the old left hander, rounding third and heading for home." That being said, the night I met him, he was a grumpy old man. Now, you've heard one.

 

[FloridaCuse]

Maybe by the time they call their 3rd SU game in a row they'll be big fans of the ORANGE and be biased towards us.

 

[JustPherU]

Most announcers want a good close game to call and don’t care who wins. I’ve never understood why so many people think they are against their team.

 

[David321]

They talked about Allen being the best receiving RB in the country, Cuse being number one in TOP in FBS even without running a lot, and was very complementary of Stonehouse, Wax, and of course the Cinderella story that is JRS.

 

[sufandu]

They're ok. The ump cam is terrible, especially when they use it to show a replay and then miss the next play.
