The madness of ESPN putting crappy games on my television.

 

(shouldnt of put a ?)

The worse part is they are freaking pathetic when it comes to broadcasting in High Def. Could they please start taking advantage of ESPN and ESPN2HD and start actually broadcasting all the games in high def (like CBS does).

 

It would be nice, afterall, Iowa/Indiana is on later this week and of course, no high def. In fact very few college bball games on ESPN are on in high def and its a joke (Watching the Iowa/Wisc game on CBS was so freaking awesome compared to the crap the so called leader in sports, ESPN, throws out). If you claim to be the best sports network, not only have the most sporting events on, but also make sure you do everything with high broadcast standards (good announcers, great picture, all that jazz).

I love the CBS Announcers, last years announcer during the Gonzaga/UCLA game was the best.

 

I hate hate hate hate hate hate Mike"Duke"Patrick and Jimmy Dykes is the worst announcer in all of sports.

Jimmy Dykes is by far the worse announcer I've ever heard. The fact I had to listen to him do the Iowa/ISU game last year made me want to throw up. He is so gosh darn awful.

 

Luckily ESPN college crews that do big ten bball games typically consist of Aaron Andrews, Lavin & Musberger and ocassionally we'll get some of Majerus (although doesn't seem to be as much lately) and I am a big fan of all of them. Lavin because he absolutely cracks me up (he's a lot like DJ) and Majerus because of the X's and O's...Andrews well, that should be obvious (but she's also good at what she does)...and Musberger is a flat out pro.

 

Jimmy Dykes makes me think Rex Hudler is a great announcer (and I think most on this board know my feelings of the incompotent jackass known as the "wonder dog").

Majerus usually does Saturday Big Ten games; we'll probably get him for IU-Iowa Saturday.

Yes...what is great is when him and Alford do a game together (which used to happen ocassionally IIRC).

Yeah I know Oden is awesome.

 

But is he even playing tonight?

 

And how bad does it suck that ESPNHD barely plays HD basketball games. It sucks even worse when you DVR/Tivo it, it wastes all your memory and then is nto even HD.

And ESPN2HD has had like one thing in high def since my cable company added it about a month ago.

I cant even see the game.

 

But judging from the boxscore you can say the same thing about Wisconsin shooting 5-15 is about as bad as you will see them play.

 

That and IU's defense is making them turn the ball over while every shot is contested.

Ill have you know when wisconsin's offense is doing bad its their fault.

 

And when Indiana's offense is doing bad its clearly Wisconsin's defense.

 

I didnt mean it as disrespect, just meant that both teams play good defense so both offenses are probably going to struggle.

I hate you...

 

The road game at DePaul is going to be a toughie, even though I didn't list it. I know the DePaul season hasn't been 'ideal', but I still think they're capable of beating anyone in this conference if they play to their potential on any given night.

 

Are you gonna be at that February (13th? 14th? It's a Wednesday game, I know that) game?

Wow, didn't realize how much of a showboater Tucker is. He looks like Deion or something out there, dancing around.

 

 

I also just noticed hes been whistled for only 7 fouls in 7 big ten games thus far. Take away the Michigan game, and its 4 fouls in 6.

Solid first half for the Hoosiers, need to go into DJ more, if they aren't going to double, he will abuse Butch.

 

Seems like Shaw may be on his way to having one of his big games against a big time opponent.

 

Should be a really good finish.

Well the Badgers are going into half time and will see that Florida is losing.

 

In other words they could be the first Wisconsin team in history to ever hold a #1 ranking. Hopefully that will be enough motivation to get a win.

 

I cant see the game but imo Badgers need to go at White and try and get him his 3rd foul early. Judging from the people who have played for the Badgers (and who havent) it seems Indiana is going with a smaller line up so I expect that Wisconsin may tamper with landry guarding White for the remainder of the game.

 

The word of the day is preemption.

 

Time for ESPN to act on that word.
