Illinois vs. Penn State game last night on FS1

[orangecuse]

I found to be quite interesting to watch with their "All Access" coverage throughout. Having both coaches mic'd up and shown throughout the broadcast as the game played out really gave it a completely different perspective, IMO. The game itself was entertaining and very competitive, but I couldn't care a less about either of these teams and would've never stayed tuned throughout if not for the "All Access" coverage. I'd like to see this done for some ACC games, especially the games in which we are involved in.

ACCN was supposed to be doing exactly this sort of thing. Overall, I have been very disappointed with the quality of the studio shows, the announcers and the general direction of the channel.

Try some new things. Shake it up. Hire people who are willing to take a stand and offer commentary on what is going on with the conference. I don't watch it a lot but when I do, I see little of any of this.

A certain coach who's team usually wears Royal blue and plays in a bandbox couldn't be mic'ed up without a 15-second delay due to his penchant for -bombs.

See, I wasn't a fan. I thought it distracted me from the game. I like it as an option, perhaps to watch on FS2 or an app but I don't want that to be my only option. Just put the game on the full screen and let me watch.

I got some special all access stuff from that coach. Some things I heard last game.

"*** that was a terrible call. I called the ACC office to get you fired. God Bless America"
"Did you get the note for the ACC office on how to call the game in the second half. God Bless America"
"**** Capel, Get me some more black for my **** hair. God Bless America"
"Hey ref, call the game like your supposed to, and I will make sure your kid gets a good job at our school. God Bless America"

Honestly I will take that over your boy Alexander and his wandering mind on broadcasts. I'm sure he is a likable guy and a sacred Hoo like our orangemen are but Corey is just really really bad at this commentator thing.

I cringe without knowing what jb is saying to the players. Ignorance is bliss.

Everything about the ACCN screams amateur hour. I'm blown away at how bad the production is. I'm sure it'll get better w/ time, but there's no excuse for how bad it is, especially when one of its members has the premier broadcast journalism program in the country.

He ain't mine. As soon as I find out he's on, I hit the Mute button, turn off the closed captions, and pay homage to The Great Engineer for inventing the Mute button. I've even accidentally muted Brian Oliver because he sounded like Alexander.

Make a play!

The thing is...Alexander and Sherman work for ESPN now...supposed to be the sports specialists channel.
The worst out there.
I put on WAER for the audio...even with a 30 second delay it can't make me any crazier.
