ESPN3

Unread post by scatman77 » Sat Nov 09, 2013 3:30 pm

I have watched my last ESPN3 game with audio. I understand the big picture: UGa is the fancy big SEC school and ASU is the "little" school come to play in the big sandbox.

But for pete's sake please, PLEASE get some announcers who will actually announce the game and not kiss Mark Richt's shoes, knees, arse, wash his car, clean his house, vacuum his office, and any other thing they've probably done this week at Athens. If they don't have red drawers and fingernail polish on, they missed a darn good chance.

It's called reporting not marketing.
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Those guys were terrible - complete homers. Couldn't get 97.3 to sync up well enough to listen to DJ, and eventually turned off ESPN3 because of it.
Give 'em hell!

I turned it down. I wonder if that was actually an ESPN crew or were they just carrying a local broadcast? Really sounded like a Georgia friendly stream.

It was a local feed and crew.

There were homers, but I thought they showed us a lot of respect.

it was a local feed on an Atlanta local station that was broadcasting the Georgia game. There is no reason for them to be anything but homers. They did give us a lot of props and eve talked about how well coached we were.

If they were local from Atlanta or some other Ga feed then I humbly apologize. I'd expect that just as I expect Juice and DJ and Randy to do the same thing.

WSB Atlanta did the feed.ESPN had some bandwith problems which made viewing challenging.
