okaive Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I know it is in his contract, but man they are overplaying his time as a Heisman winner. I am happy for him and all, but the amount of times they showed his name on the wall and him holding the trophy was the most then I have ever seen with any other commentator. 1 Quote Link to comment
C-4 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 While I agree, there's two things I'd like to point out: 1) It is likely over with. It won't be talked about now that all games scheduled to be on the BTN network are in conference games (meaning they will have more to talk about [Nebraska vs. Southern Miss doesn't exactly brood heated topics]). 2) When the announcers mentioned the contract, I assumed they were joking. Is the pimping of Crouch actually part of the contract? Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I truly don't know, but I can see him having them put it in there. If not, then BTN really did pimp him good last night compared to the Wyo game. Quote Link to comment
jimk Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 C'mon the contract part was clearly a joke. Crouch has been doing fantastic in the booth. Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 C'mon the contract part was clearly a joke. Crouch has been doing fantastic in the booth. He's a bit cheesy for my taste but he'll get there with repetition and executing the process. 2 Quote Link to comment
WhatDoIKnow Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I thought Crouch did OK in the booth. Not sure about repeating the "six-pick" thing though. Maybe that is just how he says it. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think in their business, they have to promote themselves. He is looking for a bigger gig, and that is normal. I think he did a pretty fair job on reporting the game. Homer, yes of course, but gave credit to Wyoming and Southern Miss when deserved. I have not been a great fan of Eric, but I think he is doing a great job. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It was pretty funny when they put Crouch's stats up next to Paul Burmeister's yesterday. (They were joking around, obviously.) btw, I like Crouch in the booth. He's doing pretty well considering he has very little announcing experience. 1 Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm a huge fan of Eric Crouch. Gentleman in person and does a great job in the booth but he'll develop into a better commentator. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I also like that when Crouch sells a big playground set in a small towns city park he shows up for the ribbon cutting ceremony and then after that he took the time and went to an eight-man football practice very cool for those kids for sure.

tschu Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Crouch is clearly still not comfortable on camera. However he's still miles ahead of where he was last year; I remember watching his first ever broadcast and it was horrible. He seems to be growing into his own and will continue to be a better analyst. One thing he can work on is not talking so much! It's easy to comment on every play, harder to pick spots and let the game breathe, as they say. Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure you're talking about my town. Quote Link to comment

Ric Flair Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 He played HS ball with my brother and is a very nice guy. I think he does a good job. Quote Link to comment
