The Worst Telecast I Have Ever Seen

[texascpa]

No issues with the announcers, it was the production crew that was horrible. Plays missed, too many shots of NCSU cheerleaders compared to ours, and bad angles.

I listened to most of the 4Q on XM radio. The Wolfpack network. I also got to listen to the after show. They could not have been more complimentary of our team. Just sang our praises over and over. I was shocked. Our O line our D line, and how great they are. That we are a very physical team, hit hard... Just a good SU team beat them. Maybe this is Southern hospitality!!!

 

[RMH44]

How many plays can they miss?

Who cares...at least we're not Uconn.

 

[Deano]

Who cares...at least we're not Uconn.

As Marsh would say ""

 

[Deano]

It's one thing to miss the plays, but damn show the replays. I would have love to see how AB caught that long ball TH.

 

[CuseFan]

The production was driving me nuts. Missed all kinds of plays while commercials ran long, gazing at the cheerleaders, or are zoomed out so you can't really see the plays. Transitions from commercials were the worst, and usually late to the game.

 

[All4SU]

Did the head ref have the most bizarre interpretations of the hand signals?

 

[cuserulesall]

We may be in the ACC but will always be Yankees...

According to history , The Yankees always win . History will repeat itself .

My guess is that his range of motion is limited with one arm.

Glad it wasn't just me. Imagine how confused I was as I had to watch with no sound since I was hosting a birthday party for the MIL. I told the SO that I'm watching but will keep the sound off. There were several times I was lost. Couldn't tell if I missed a play or if they were showing replays. Was pretty weird. Happy though.

I listened as well and had the same impression you had.

The NCSt folks were very respectful of the Orange.

Tonight > Doris Burke.

You sir, just made an enemy.

 

[Chip]

That camera crew was so easily fooled by the fair catch signal when the punt was going into the endzone.

Oldest trick in the book.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

You sir, just made an enemy.

Oh come and we just met...

What? Im not a Doris Burke fan? Is there an inside joke here I am not privy to?

 

[Orangeyes]

We may be in the ACC but will always be Yankees...

My first trip to the south was to Alabama by car. I pulled into a gas station and a cop pulls over next to us. He saw our New York state plates and made the following query, 'Do y'all know the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee? A Yankee comes to visit, a damn Yankee stays!"

 

[Orangeyes]

One thing was missing all night, the play clock. Onions said it appeared once during a punt when there was plenty left on it.

Sometimes there are plays where the announce team misses something controversial.

For example on that play where PTG was nearly horse collared by #90. If you look at the replay that guy threw a punch at PTG. Don't know if it was intended for the solar plexus or the ball but you would have thought at least someone in the truck would have pointed that out to the announcers.

 

[kirbivore]

They weren't great but I've heard tremendously worse announcers.

nothing can be worse than the B1G network clown crew that called last year's game at Minnesota

 

[kirbivore]

Paging Dave Simms...

Give Dave a break. You'd sound suicidal too if you had to broadcast all those GRob noon games.

 

[Wallo]

I'll take any game broadcast that does not have Mike Patrick. Holy cow!

Mike Patrick definitely is a ACC Shill ! Wait to you watch and listen to the ACC basketball games......

 

[Orangello]

Hard to catch the action when they have to get all of those shots of the NC State cheerleaders.

Speaking of which, has anyone told the coach of the NCSt cheerleading squad that cataracts can be corrected with surgery. Wolf wolf wolf is spot on.

We kept getting penalized for receiving Communion.

Hmm...didn't realize that.

Fixed.
