ESPN Announcers


Recommended Posts



I'm not a fan of Mowins. There are other female broadcasters I've listened to, but there's something about her that gets under my skin aesthetically. She tries to sound like male broadcasters and it comes off a little disjointing.

 

I don't have a problem with women broadcasters doing male sports, but this lady bothers me.

Bet you didn't know that the stadium on game day was the 2nd biggest city in Neb, according to her. :o She is sure not the best, they could have sent for this game.

I caught a glimpse of that booster, that JP got into it with. Just after the first TD, I think. Anyone else catch that. Couldn't tell if he was on the side line, but looked like he was.

 

GBR!!!

I couldn't even count how many times Beth said the wrong player made a tackle. Also apparently Nebraska shrunk in size or Lincoln grew. I have no problem with woman announcers but the best person man or female should announce. She is horrible!

In her defense, I've been up in the top-most skybox before (that's where UNL has it's student-run radio station that call the games) - it is NOT easy, by any means, to see who is making a play or tackle. It's very challenging.

 

That said, she works for ESPN, their booth is on the sixth floor (KRNU is on the seventh), and I'm pretty sure they have camera access in their booth, although I'm not for sure on this.

"John Papoopis"

That's a pretty good one. I also heard Todd McShay say "Raheem" Abduallah. It was in a short video on ESPN talking about Pelini having to leave the game.

Ya I heard that. I remember Beth had a quote "and Taylor Martinez runs into the touchdown...end zone". And I'm also not a fan of African American reporters who have a thick accent and don't talk professionally. I remember one he said toward the end on Imani's run "that defense is spent, man Beth you coulda ran through dem holes" it just doesn't sound professional.
