Musberger is getting a pretty raw deal if they're not even going to let him do a semifinal playoff game.

MourningView posted:Yeah that is not made up. I think they play some of the games in Cedar Rapids too but it's mostly the mall in that ice rink near the food court. It's just a lovely club team, but it still makes me laugh compared to how much, like, Minnesota cares about hockey. I'll have you know that I give a huge poo poo about hockey in the state of hockey godbless Top Hats Monthly fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jan 20, 2014 |

That A) does not happen as much as dumb babies whining about it claim it does B) is justified because the SEC is actually way better than every other conference and C) will continue to happen with whoever replaces him because it's a network thing.

Prices for the playoff championship are beginning to come to light and hooooooo boyFB Scoop posted:The cheapest premium seat through ticket and hospitality companies PrimeSports and Colonnade Group is going to run you $1,899, according to a piece today by ESPN. That seat is located in the top corner of "Jerry's World" and includes a three-hour pregame hospitality event, a full premium menu and top shelf bar, and a $50 merchandise voucher.

I still remember the call of the Auburn-Oregon game. "Dyer runs for a few yards and is spun around...and he gets back up. Dyer gets back up. Did he not hit the ground?" said in the most  , monotone voice. It was cool.

That's cute. Not only do they expect people to go to back-to-back neutral site games in a short period of time, but they expect people to pay Super Bowl prices. This is clearly the BCS people teaching us a lesson.

Basically somewhere between general admission and a suite. Kinda makes the whole thing a non-issue then. Regular people can still get their regular people seats then at regular people prices. It would be different, to me, if it was one of those things like when Hank Hill went to the Alamo Bowl and "I don't want the VIP lot, I want the regular lot. / Everyone's a VIP at Alamo."

Brent has definitely slipped as time as gone on but no other announcer can set the mood like he can. Listening to him call a game is like firing up an old Lincoln Continental. Listen to that motor purr. You are looking liiiiiiiiiiive... Not enough love for Joe Tessitore in this thread. Not only is the Tess Effect real, but he's a very sharp game-caller and does those WTF moments well. Also Dyer was down.* *I have no idea if this is actually true or not.

Did he not hit the ground?" said in the most I feel like he probably legitimately had no idea what happened there, for good reason. That play was loving confusing live. Same with the ending to this year's game, it was hard to tell if the guy actually caught the ball so he didn't freak out because he had no idea what had happened until the ref signaled. He normally get excited when the moment calls for it.

My biggest issue with this year's NCG was his call of FSU's final play. You can't argue that it was difficult to see, but still even after the refs signal it was just really weak given the moment. He probably took Auburn ML...
