Good stuff. Totally agree about the UC effort. That’s a team which appears to be totally bought-in.
The proliferation of televised games means we have a lot of announcers who would otherwise be calling D2 games or Single A baseball getting shots. Half grew up on Long Island and went to Syracuse, so there’s an annoying similarity to much of it; and, as someone above noted, many don’t know how to let silence do a little of the work. Very few have what I would call “presence.” They are basically interchangeable, and mediocre.
I hate the whole targeting thing, well intended as it may be.
Most of you have heard my thoughts on replay 1,000 times, but that 12-man review thing in the AM game was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen. It really did feel like the call was really “screw you Aggies; Clemson is going back to the title game.” Keep your eyes out for “just in case,” um, “flags” in Bama games too.
Tennessee reminds me of the Mike London UVa teams - often quite bad; sometimes pretty good, but never as good the stats would have led one to believe; and, always their own worst enemies.
