I for one am glad about this duo calling The Game Saturday.

Huard didn't give Hackenberg any credit. The guy made some fantastic throws, throws that Huard could only dream about, but never got any love for them. The guy has a great arm. I really feel bad for him. Not sure he's quite Cutler 2.0. I think his dedication an good intentions are there, he just go put into a bad situation. He came to a program, bereft of talent, hoping to play for a coach (O'Brien) that would prepare him for the pros, probably dreaming of turning around the program. Had a great year, then got dumped in Franklin's system. I'm not sure Franklin's staff has figure out how to best utilize him. And, for a school that has had so many WR's over the last 10-15 years, he has no targets. I can't imagine that he benefits from another year at psu. And, I imagine the feeling's the same on Franklin's side.

I enjoy Nessler's commentating. Thank god we dodged the Spielman or Millen bullet.

Good point - wasn't even thinking about networks but rather commentators in general.

After the past 2 weeks almsot any crew would be an upgrade

Probably the best announce team in college football. Blackledge doesn't get enough credit, I think he's way better than Spielman.
Still miss Keith Jackson...
November 24th, 2015 at 12:54 PM ^
keeps it simple. Former QB, understands the game.
I think he does a great job most nights, like most analysts he misses stuff but doesn't try to editorialize his calls too much.
November 24th, 2015 at 11:49 AM ^
for me was definitely when one of them called us Michigan State.
November 24th, 2015 at 12:02 PM ^
No Respekt. Maybe we can use that as the motivation we need to get up for a big game like this.
Nah . . . that would be lame. Nobody would do that for a rivalry game.
November 24th, 2015 at 2:43 PM ^
who called Mike Dantonio.

I prefer that booth and don't even mind Speilman calling The Game, but I need at least a one year moratorium on them because McDonough's voice is giving me PTSD from the ending of the MSU game.

Granted, he does have osu leanings but I think he does good color. He was one of the first to say that we would be a top ten team this year and we are right on the cusp. If not for the fluke we are top 5 right now.

The only time I was upset is when it was him and Urban Meyer in the booth giggling like fucking school girls because obviously Spielman already knew he was going to be Ohio State's next coach.

Wish it oculd be gus johnson
November 24th, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
Meh. I may be in the minority, but I'm not that big on Gus Johnson for football.
He's not the same as he is for basketball. It's like he's not sure where to direct the excitement: "IT'S SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN!!"

Yup. I really wish Gus would move to ESPN to call NCAA games. That guy is great; however, as the guy above mentioned, he is better with basketball.

Keith Jackson is the best of all time.
Before he went senile, I used to actually like Muss pretty well. You knew it was the big game of the day when you heard the dramatic "You are looking LIVE . . . "
November 24th, 2015 at 12:05 PM ^
Brandstatter and Dierdorf for me with the TV on mute...

November 24th, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
I'm not a fan of Keith Jackson's style. It sounds fake to me, but that is just my opinion (neg away). Brent simply does games on the SEC Network now.

became terrible at the end. Could not remember anything and would make the wrong call with the game happening right in front of him. I DVR all the Michigan v ND games and any of those games he announced, all kinds of mistakes that you miss the first time through. Calling out wrong player, the play, who tackled, just almost disconnected. Herbie covered his ass plenty of times.
SEC is a good place for him, because he sure did not belong as the lead announcer for ESPN or any one else. (other than the SEC)
November 24th, 2015 at 12:10 PM ^
This is an improvement definitely. The most startling revelation from last week's crew is that Huard and I apparently had the same or very similar sweater vests. My sweater vest has since been burned in the hope that a better set of announcers might be possible and it seems like that was achieved.
November 24th, 2015 at 1:08 PM ^
Was this involved with a woman and some weird stuff that involved you screaming, "Call me Tressel! Call me Tressel!" ?
November 24th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
I like Spielman, just not when he does Michigan games, so I'm glad he isn't doing it.

I will only mute them when I re-watch it. Love being at the games instead.
