Montana/Idaho ESPN2 Coverage Embarrassing For the University and Montana

[oldngrizzly]

Points :
Scheduled start time to late and failed to gain much outside interest
Failed to start coverage on time even when the other game covered was a blowout
Continued to miss important plays and never announced them latter
Had no on field coverage (BAD)
The announcers were the bottom for ESPN and it showed
I am sure there other points but the bottom line for me, it was poor job

No halftime stats...all FBS garbage during halftime

...and yet, the largest sporting franchise on the globe put them on their network.

Kudos to the Griz fans in the stands - especially the student section representing well on TV.

I thought the announcers were very complimentary of the University. At times it almost felt like a commercial to how awesome Montana is.

If you didn’t have something to bitch about every week I think the world would come to an end.

Yeah, I was telling my wife this morning, ESPN was a three hour commercial for UM. Not sure how anyone could genuinely complain.

The only tiny thing that made me cringe a bit was when one of the announcers said that the Bobcats would probably be favored when they play the higher ranked Griz as they roll a top 10 opponent - but that is just me being a hypersensitive fanatic.

 

[AZDoc]

I think they did a decent job. Certainly have seen worse.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

They also said that Ah Yat's dad led us to a '95 natty.

 

[argh!]

wait, so instead of eating catered mo club burgers and watching the game from your prime box(es), where it was probably so loud you couldn't even hear t.v. announcers a lot of the time, you watched the game on espn2? ha.

 

[goatcreekgriz]

Only embarrassment was displayed by OP. What a whiner.

Agreed. I thought the announcers were not good.

Al little off the subject but ESPN doesn't show a replay for this game. I wonder why.

You know what, this bitching and moaning every f#$king week gets so old! No, it wasn't perfect, but it's great for the university and Missoula for the Griz and the players especially-to be on a nationally televised game. I'm no spring chicken, but when I become an older Griz, I hope I'm not like you. "Get off my lawn, and you kids and your loud music!" Can't you just enjoy the victory? Probably not.

Someone needs a whaaambulance, huh? Rash maybe? Try monkey butt powder.

It was replayed this afternoon on ESPNU.

 

[mthoopsfan]

My sons, one of whom played college football, said the announcers were very good and were very complimentary to the Griz and UM.

The games are always on the TVs in the boxes so that people in the back can see what's going on.

I didn't watch it live but watching the replay last night they basically spent 3 hours talking about how great we are. I would actually be way more pissed if I was an Idaho fan. This was a great showing for the University. At least for the degenerate gamblers still up watching an FCS game past midnight.
