Announcer

[Stikboy]

Who is the guy opposite Bardo? He seems elated that OU's getting creamed. Never heard him before. Has a pipsqueak voice...

 

[Chaser728]

was it the dude who did the color commentating for the OU vs. ISU game in Football? What was his name?

 

[MNsooner]

I'd give him a as pass. It isn't like we gave him anything good to say about us.

He's probably connected to ISU in some way, just like Bob Carpenter is connected to OU.

Random thought during a bad performance by the Sooners: I often find myself turning the sound down when the announcers are too annoying or obviously haven't done their homework (if an announcer seems surprised that Fitzgerald or Osby shoot jumpshots, the sound goes down automatically). We know that Nielsen Surveys etc measure how many people are watching broadcasts. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a way to survey how many people turn the sound down due to the quality of the broadcast team? My first thought was that it would be nice if the compensation of the announcer were linked to the number of people who actually heard his voice? My second thought was wouldn't it be nice if the people who hire the announcer get paid based on how many people don't turn the sound down?

I've tried listening to the radio broadcast for various teams and they never sync with the TV. It's distracting sometimes.

Conclusion: every announcer hates OU or is trying too hard to be unbiased.

No, there are just so many broadcasts these days that there aren't enough quality broadcasters to go around.

The commentators always sound against you when your team is getting slapped around like a drunk southern widow.

You sure got that right! There are some very poor ones out there now!
