Fox coverage sucks

It feels funny to hear Jimmie J. do college comentary. Half the plays are interupted by commercials and then you come back from break and the QB is rolling out already. I for one am not impressed. thoughts

I thought it was great, getting to see the band after coming back before every commercial, seeing the cheerleaders before every play, and then some more of the band. I mean after all thats what we turned it on for. The cheering of fans, band, and all.

they can show the cheerleaders all they'd like, even during plays.

There was a Kansas girl who was dancing and yelling for her team and when she looked and noticed the camera was right on her you could hear her say " O MY GOD" and she looked down. LOL

agreed FV, i hate fox's covrerage. on one of the FG's KU kicked they had the sky cam on it and missed the entire thing.......so far i think the coverage has been very bad and sloppy. as much as i think ESPN is too devoted to hype, their coverage of CFB is second to none.

Let's not forget - Fox brought us the sounds of "Bonerama" one night followed by Franki Valli and the Four Seasons the next (National Anthem). Just getting to say Bonerama had to be some TV milestone.

That Fiesta Bowl National Anthem was horrible.

As much as we hate the coverage of Fox they felt the need to spend x amount of billions to buy the bcs games except for the rose bowl why they did this when they don't show any college games during the season just baffels me

I found it funny when those 2 WVA players named Dingle and Berry were sitting besided each other on the bench, and the commentator said, "Those 2 really shouldn't be sitting beside each other." Anyone else catch that?

The Radio Shack commercials are wearing me out.

Also, one of the camera men had a crush on the WVU band leader. She got more time than the players.

Like the quality of picture. They would be better off putting Fox and Friends on at halftime.
