Its 8:19, and it hit me: FOX Sucks!

  • BigAppleBuckeye
    I just flipped on the TCU-Boise State pregame show on FOX ... where the camera blacked out during the coin flip, and despite an "electric atmosphere" (according to announcer Sam Rosen), the microphones make it sound like its a library documentary. Why does FOX get to cover college football?

    Isn't this the last year for FOX and the BCS??
  • ZombieKiller
    Wildcat, I belive so. I think ESPN is going to be getting the games next year.

    Fox is terrible.

    Can't wait till ESPN/ABC take the games back, they actually know what the fuck they're doing

    Thankfully the two biggest BCS games I want to watch are on ABC with Musberger and Herbie.

    Seriously? I can't stand Musberger.

    "That makes it 3rd and manageable."

    What the hell kinda unit of measurement is manageable?
  • darbypitcher22
    I classify 3rd and manageable as anything 3rd and 6 or less....3rd and 6 is a whole hell of a lot better than 3rd and double sticks

    This. Musberger's voice is magical.

    The unfortunate thing, is no matter where the television rights go, Jimmy Johnson will probably still be given a job...now that is a travesty. He offers about as much insightful commentary as a shoe.

    (as far as ABC goes, I think Musberger is great. He's the voice of college football for this generation, much as Keith Jackson was 15 years ago. When you hear Musberger's voice, you just know there's a big game on.)

    Chris Rose seems like he's constantly smirking at some inside joke.

    This is not just a problem with Fox and BCS games. It's a problem with FOX in general. Anyone ever watched American Idol? The live shows have the worst production team probably ever.

    I would rather watch one-eyed Sister Angelica over on the Catholic channel read a bible verse and pass out in the middle of it than watch another BCS game on FOX ever again. Terrible.

    And, how about FOX totally blowing the footage of Boise's fumble to do one of their 50,000,000 crowd shots? Ugh. Wait for the whistle to switch cameras!!!

    Can't wait to see if they'll do any worse with the Orange Bowl tonight...

    They missed a play in the 3rd quarter. Boise Punted, Commercial, 2nd and 8. WTF?

    Fox fucking socks. I almost don't even wanna watch the BCS games because I can't stand the way they do the games.
