I didn't think he was brutal. He was pretty complimentary of SU overall, not condescending and he provided so much more quality analysis than anyone else this season.

oh, don't take that the wrong way, he was complimentary many times, to both teams. But he also didn't sugarcoat bad plays. Some color guys get too worried about upsetting coaches/teams, so they do nothing but praise them.

I thought Millen was pretty good today and he seemed to side with us on a couple of the questionable calls. The line you mentioned was my favorite, that was funny shyt.

Yup - he also stated that he had never seen PTG play before, seems strange he didn't at least watch a few games to prep for his nationally broadcasted announcing gig...

His analysis of the touchdown that Dyshawn Davis messed up was one of the better breakdowns I have seen during a game. Have seen the same type analysis during highlight shows well after game has ended but rarely a full breakdown immediately after play in game.

Same with Ishmael's TD down the sideline.

It was embarassing how he kept talking about our defense as if they had not been coached and HE was going to take the opportunity, on the air, to give the lesson they needed. Tha sucked.
At one point he got impatient with their producer and called him by name in telling him to "run the video." I was a little surprised but he wasn't and over the top douchebag, just a little bit of one. Most of the honest comments WERE refreshing, agree with that, just the coaching seemed too much for me to take.

Isn't that what he is there for? Whether it was embarrassing or not it was deserved!

Guys at that level don't need to - they see what we don't and they see it coming before it happens. I remember Mike Greenberg saying that he was watching a play on the big screen and Herm walked by took a glance and said. "That's a score - they got that blocked". Mike hit go and sure enough it was a score. Coaches and players at a high level are watching a different game than we do.

I thought Millen was awesome. Very complimentary, honest and funny. Had some great breakdowns of plays. Any dissection of our defense was deserved. My favorite line was the random "Ol' Sam Rogers, he's a State College guy!" Uh, what?
