While I was watching UK win its first game, I was gritting my teeth because the SEC network crew/broadcast was so bad!
Let me confess that I
never liked the idea of an SEC network, feeling it was just another way
for the most cash rich conference of all to squeeze more money out of
fans. I was especially afraid each local cable system would charge
extra...and I wasn’t going to pay that, even if it meant not watching the
Cats. (which, given their record that year wasn’t a bad decision.) But,
bless you TWC, you didn’t and you deserve credit...just as UK doesn’t for
hiking ticket prices.
Anyow ,the broadcast team last Saturday was
badddd. So were their graphics, when they had them. (They lost the
ability to show how much time remained to get the ball snapped, and other
non-important items...with nary a mention that they had, the cause, or
why they suddenly came back...but just for one team. This coming after
the failure of the headphone system left viewers with many questions,
all UNanswered.)
But back to our stellar broadcast crew. Try these..."The pass was caught…it’s incomplete” ???
Or Mark Stoops jawing with several officials for a lonnngg time without any explanation of why or what.
Or 2 crucial occasions when the clock didn’t start…with no explanations.
Or “The flag is down...on the ground.” Darn if it wasn’t.
And those stupid commercials...OK, broadcast crew has nothing to do with that, but:
Does anyone know
why Chase Bank would use some small porker in its ads, or what that
voice is saying as the white piglet ambles along, or when the last time
was that you saw a pig, or any animal in a bank?
Then there’s the
milk of magnesium lady, who appears on a plane, without TSA
screening...or those 2 Drivetime harridans who yell at people (losing my
business righht there!)..or the non-funny Dr. Pepper salesman who has outlived his
time…I could go on and on...
Some Uk games are bad enuff; we shouldn’t have to settle for lousy broadcasts, and their stupid commercials.
I'm just sayin'...
