kozzman555 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 John Ankrah, Matt Berkley (Barkley), Tyler Martinez, Memorial Stadium being the 2nd biggest city in Nebraska, Josh Mitchell tackling one of our offensive guys (when Arky St was on defense??) Raheem Abdullah and many others. The announcing was atrocious and I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. And yes, her voice is annoying as hell. I'm swear I'm muting the game the next time I see her. Is there any way we can make an official complaint against ESPN for having her as the announcer? Has to be some sort of obscenity violation.....

Flood Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm a fan of good announcing, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual preferences, or any other facet. That was not good announcing. Is the stereotype reality? Do these female announcers sound all gruff because they think that's what male sports fans want? I would certainly prefer a feminine voice over that, but the quality of work means more to me in the end. Quote Link to comment

totengur Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I watched the tape of the game. Any thoughts, in particular female P-B-P announcer ? (Beth). How about another guy (Galloway) ? You remember p-b-p Pam Ward? She was at least tolerable but for some reason, bumped. In other words, Pam was much more knowledgably than Beth IMO. i did play by play for awhile as a career. And from my experiences i can say with out a doubt there are very few Announcers ESPN has i even listen too. i usually listen too the games with the sound muted beings the Announcing gets so bad. It makes me miss Keith Jackson more than i probably should. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I am trying to remember the man who used to broadcast on the radio husker games..I think he used to say "Man Woman & Child" when the huskers made great plays. I always liked to hear him announcing games:) Just wish they would get some better announcers and preferably not women announcers. I don't care if she would know about football...I want a man with knowledge to broadcast the games...I don't care for women announcers period! I felt like making her some cookies and putting laxatives in it so she would have to leave and not hear her for the rest of the game:) Lyle Bresmer.

HUSKER 37 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I really didn't pay attention....I was so wound up in the game. My wife however, said, "I can't take too much of her voice". And my wife wasn't really watching the game. My 11 year old son said the same thing..It even got me wondering if I had a problem with female announcers..(I hope not). I replied that I felt like I should be watching a Wermans' tennis match. Maybe there are just too many games on television? (And that's all we rate right now). Naaaaahh! I was starting to get pissed at how much they were talking about Bo's possible visit to the gynocologist..er..Hospital/mystery sickness.. (I was concerned..but hoped the media would be more understanding about his privacy). Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I didn't know Roxy posted in the football threads...I'm kinda at a loss here.... Anyway I couldn't believe how much the guy was harping on Arkst for not airing it out down 42-13 with 6 minutes left. Kept talking about having to take shots down the field. THEY WERE TRYING TO USE CLOCK!!! IT WAS OVER! Quote Link to comment

Blackshirts007 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 "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. come on. how about people with thick accents who don't speak professionally... unless you can tolerate people of any any race who talk like that, just not the african american ones. I didn't mean to single out African American reporters, I just mean some of them have talk with slang and then also shortening of words like "dat, dem, gots to, etc" almost like "ghetto" talk. I would have the same feeling of a Hispanic talked like that, and didn't sound professional. Or any other race for that matter, if a white trash reporter talked like that I would feel that way too.

tschu Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 B007, So are you also not a fan of Dick Vitale? John Madden? John Gruden? All guys who don't speak "professionally" yet have their own style that completely works for them and adds to the broadcast. You're coming off as prettttttty racist here. 2 Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Was there even a second half game broadcast? All I heard was how everyone and their dog at ESPN was trying to figure out what happened to Bo. Was Bo's condition important? Of course. Did ESPN have an obligation to continue the crappy broadcast they were spitting out? Yes, but they didn't and got even worse. I know it's important for national TV recognition, but I hope the only time ESPN ever does NU again is prime time with Herby and Mushberger, and even then I'll cringe. And Huskers.com didn't sync with the TV, otherwise I would've done that in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The worst part about the announcing team was they were completely unprepared. And there is no excuse for that. Wrong names, wrong stats. Its just not professional. Its not like they have a massive work load the rest of the week. Watch some tape, and for F's sake, study you sheet of names and numbers. Calling the wrong guy on plays all the time is a joke. Quote Link to comment
