Cotton Bowl prediction thread - A&M vs. LSU

[Dutchrudder]

It was awful. I am used to watching LSU football on ESPN and CBS - and I guess I took their relative production value for granted and didn't notice what a strong job they did in comparison with what we saw from FOX.

It was absolutely terrible. My dad and I had the same conversation at halftime and then a redux after the game as we asked one another what the penalty was that negated the last fumble return for a TD. It was just awkward -

At first I thought maybe it was FOX deciding not to put Summerall in the booth.

But now I am wondering if it wasn't Summerall refusing to have this amateur hour punctuate his broadcasting legacy.

It says a lot when you have an obviously aging Pat Summerall interviewing a similarly aging and awkwardly ambling Jim Brown and point to that as the most lucid part of the evening's broadcast.

^ All points of failure on their part. I became thoroughly aware of Fox's inability to broadcast games last year when they covered only one bowl game, the TCU/Boise State game. It was absolutely terrible. It was a close game the whole time (17-10 at the end iirc) and there was a fumble (I think) in the 4th quarter that was under review from the booth for about 2 minutes. They did not show one single replay of it. NONE. My friends and I were watching it and we were all sitting there saying "WTF ARE THEY DOING??? SHOW US A REPLAY!!!" This Cotton Bowl was just another chapter in the infamous Fox football broadcasting.

Fox is terrible. Even the NFL games on Fox suck.
