After seeing so many of them, I may be used to them but I find them incredibly boring. I don't know if the HD needs to be beefed up or there are too many on-screen graphics, but I'd much rather watch college football on FSN. Their recent graphics upgrade is well done and brings back the "old school" look, as well as removingfrank_gore49https://www.blogger.com/profile/00640408890855196177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-90151565749208650532009-01-21T00:42:00.000-05:002009-01-21T00:42:00.000-05:00My main beef with Fox was the fact they did not us...My main beef with Fox was the fact they did not use any of the Fox Sports Net resources for the BCS broadcasts. Using NFL announcers was a major mistake in their coverage. I would rather hear Joel Myers, Barry Tompkins, et al as opposed to Kenny Albert, Matt V or Thom Brenneman.greg6363https://www.blogger.com/profile/01333310434804458515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-68977430875527543522009-01-20T21:48:00.000-05:002009-01-20T21:48:00.000-05:00I don't think having an entire network devoted to ...I don't think having an entire network devoted to sports is the key, or at least only, factor in the quality of a telecast. Just look at NFL Network's games. (And really, people on the Internet are the only ones who care about the "quality of the telecast" as much as AA readers do.)<BR/><BR/>I think it's more about the level of immersion in the sport.
