Is it just me, or was that the WORST announcing job of a college championship football game EVER???

Brent Musberger doesnt know a tailback from a tailbone. And ALL he does the entire game is put over EVERYBODY!!! I mean doesn’t this guy criticize ANYBODY??? Everyone is great . . . this player is amazing . . .that coach overcame the odds . . . ENOUGH!!!

HOW ABOUT SMACKING VA TECH FOR GETTING PUNKED 18-0 IN THE FOURTH QUARTER??? Brent Musberger SUCKS. He’s not an announcer . . . HE IS A SHILL.

So does Bobby Bowdens retarded son. I have a question. How can you get an unbiased analysis from a commentator . . WHEN YOUR DAD IS ON THE FIELD???

Good job, ABC.

I think college football is about the most boring thing in the universe, so I didn’t watch the game. But Brent Musberger cannot be worse than NBC’s Olympic broadcasting team. John Tesh describing Little Girls Gymnastics makes me want to shoot the TV, except I’m pro-gun control.

Whoa, gun control in the second post!

That’s it, ladies and gentlemen, this thread is _over_. Now selling tickets for the flamewar. . .

I don’t have an evil side. Just a really, really apathetic one.

Heck…I thought it was a pretty exciting game…I didn’t particularly notice the announcers…I could barely hear them over our shouts and taunts anyway…

I think voice over for sports, especilly with the graphic available for information now, is as stupid as a voice over at an orchestra concert…

It can’t be over; I haven’t heard the fat lady singing yet. And no smart ass Mark Serlin comments from any of you will be tolerated.
