HA! Nothing political about what I am saying. Not really accusing them. I'm sure I could be off, but they also had plenty of time to make sure they didn't look like fools and they certainly did open up the show saying there was supposed to be a boycott but hey look who all showed up. 

The boos for Thamel were tepid at best. No way that happens in a completely "organic" environment.

Another sign that it's contrived.  Also, the Traeger grill they just showed?  It was in an area where no tailgates are, surrounded by cheerleaders, and the turkey looked fake as hell.  Also no steam, smoke, or other signs of actual heat on a day where it's maybe 30 right now?

It's all fake.

Nobody, on either channel, will say anything about the circus and turmoil they've put Michigan through.  Nobody will give them any credit for dealing with that.  I thought CWood was going there, but he turned it into an audition for Moore as a replacement for Harbaugh.

I get the sentiment, CWood, but come the fuck on.

They're doing their best to isolate the broadcast crew from the crowd noise and keep the signs unreadable (except the Jesus signs).

Lifeless broadcast. Way to go ESPN. You suck.

Is it just me, or is the ESPN crowd unnaturally quiet?  Feels like they have to keep the crowd muted...

Anyone in Ann Arbor able to report on this?
