Bcs Championship Announcers

I am really proud of the anouncers on the championship game tonight. I was just really impressed at their ability to actualy call a game what with their mouths full of Tim Tebow and all...

Was not pleased with this bowl season coverage by Fox. The play-by-play/color was not my taste.

BOOM?

Might have been the worst called game I've seen in while

I hate ESPN but glad they along with ABC are getting the BCS

Have to agree. I like Tebow. I think he's a good kid, but the hyperbole was incredible.

That along with bad puns and terrible play by play

Here's a running tab

Awful Announcing

"If you're fortunate to spend 5 or 20 minutes around Tim Tebow, you're better for it."- Thom Brennaman

"I got so excited, I thought they were going on 4th down twice!"- Thom Brennaman

"I should have been there to help you partner."- Charles Davis

"When Major Wright hits you, you feel it in a major wrong way."- Thom Brennaman

"Architectural like precision from Bradford."- Thom Brennaman

"Architectural like precision from Bradford."- Thom Brennaman

I actually kinda liked that one.

But, yeah...Fox has terrible announcers for the BCS games. Can't wait till they lose all of them(hopefully they'll lose the Cotton too for that matter).

seems to me that FOX could of pulled over the NFL broadcasters (At least for the Championship Game). Would of much rather listened to Buck an Aikman then the two screwballs that they had in the booth last night.

This exchange was both pathetic and hilarious at the same time. On the first 4th down the commentator strongly expressed his confidence in OU punching it in on the ground. When the run failed and it was discovered to be 4th down again there was a 3 second silence followed by the commentator again compelling OU to run it in. The second attempt failed worse than the first.... Then the commentator pretends he was never fooled in the first place, remarking "I should have been there to help you partner." Good Stuff For Sure

I could not figure out what was happening when Davis was boldly stating that Oklahoma should go for it on 3rd and goal inside the Florida 5. Fox has no business broadcasting the BCS games. They broadcast no college football during the year and then do a pathetic job calling the bowl games. The studio show was particularly bad with none of the hosts (including Switzer and Johnson) really giving much insight into the game either at halftime or at the end. I am glad that ESPN picks up the rights to the BCS in 2011.
