After having to endure Brenneman and Charles Davis, I must say that Brent Musburger belongs in his own group of echelons. Perhaps his own perch. Thursday night’s BCS Championship might have been the worst big game broadcast ever.
When you add the 1,749 shots of the band and shots of everything but football players and what they are doing, it could be the worst broadcast I have ever watched and/or heard.
It’s hard to say what I hated most about the awful broadcasting team: The incessant sucking off of “Superman” Tim Tebow, the constant stream of mistakes (thinking it was fourth-and-goal when it was third-and-goal) or the general idiocy (Davis pointing out that the ball had already crossed the plane before Murphy fumbled on Florida’s first TD, when the only real question was whether he was down before the ball crossed the plane, not whether he fumbled).
“Your life will be better if you could only spend five minutes around him like we did this last week.”
One of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.
Piss-poor in every aspect.
Just another addition of sports broadcasters who freakin’ suck.

Blake Griffin is probably the best player in college basketball right now (Carolina and UConn fans, sit down — I know that you think Tyler Hansbrough and Hasheem Thabeet are more due, but don’t bother trying to convince me). The guy can get to the inside whenever he wants; he just muscles through other players to get there. His edgy offensive play allows him to be elusive and forces defenses to improvise a plan — that usually doesn’t work — to stop him.
Just wanted to say, I’m damn glad that college basketball is back and booming.

The Oklahoma Sooners trumped the Texas Tech Red Raiders 65-21 last night. In a marquee matchup that would test the Red Raiders’ football dexterity, Mike Leach’s gameplan was noted to thrive. Graham Harrell and the Red Raiders beat the Sooners in last year’s matchup in Jones AT&T Stadium. However, this year, in Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where Bob Stoops was 51-2 (now 52-2) at during his tenure coaching the Sooners, Texas Tech stood no chance.
Should have been expected, though, right?
Actually, no. The Texas Longhorns — behind the play of quarterback Colt McCoy — knocked off the Sooners, but then the Red Raiders knocked off the Longhorns. Who is the best team of these three? Looking at it in retrospect, it looks like the ‘Horns and the Sooners are the teams to beat, but how is that so when the Red Raiders beat the ‘Horns, the same ‘Horns who beat the Sooners?
It’s a convoluted league, it seems. It’s tough to judge these teams. But that’s why there is gambling and predictions set up so people can throw their money around just to lose it because a team didn’t play as well as expected, a team that was subdued by an inferior opponent because the superior opponent — whom the consensus bet on — didn’t gameplan as well as they usually did.
We’ll see how great the Alabama Crimson Tide are when they play the Florida Gators in the SEC championship game. For all we know, the Gators could shellack the Crimson Tide and we’d have Florida in the national title game against Oklahoma. Then again, Oklahoma could choke everything away in the Big 12 championship game.
What a load of crap.
