Craig James calling the game tomorrow

As he mentioned last night on the air, Craig James, the most hated man in college football media by a country mile and the living embodiment of the World Wide Leader's arrogance, will be calling our game against WMU.

Does anyone think some signs should be made to make him feel unwelcome? Perhaps a quick chant in the fourth quarter (presuming it's as uneventful as we all hope)? Anybody have any good ideas out there?

Nah...

We have bigger fish to fry.  James is an idiot...but I don't want to waste time with him.

At least it isn't Matt Millen.

I don't mind Millen either.  He loves Mike Martin (and every other former wrestler) and he's not bad on TV.

Craig James, on the other hand, is an asshat.  He should only do games in the state of Texas.  Especially TTU games.

James knows Hoke, raves about him

James did SDSU's bowl game last year and was very impressed with Hoke and his team. He even suggested that Hoke's offense and style should make Hoke a contender for the Michigan job came open.

i completely agree

i dont really listen to the broadcasting because my selective hearing is so good but i seriously couldnt block her out at all during the indiana game last year and she is like the racheal nichols of broadcasting. hopefully i can just get so consumed by the game tomorrow and laughing/crying happily at how good the defense looks

Signs/Chants would be ineffective.  ABC would just ignore them.  They've taken their side on this issue and they seem to be sticking with it.

Several signs at gameday next week?  That may be a different story.

If the chant gets loud enough

If the chant gets loud enough it might make it on the air, before they turn down the background noise.  They'd obviously avoid the signs showing up on camera.

Sad Sad day when I would prefer the SEC slurpfest of Danielson instead of James....I guess that means Sean/Millen must be in Georgia for that game.

Hmmm, I might regret saying this but I think i would rather have Pam "Larry" Ward instead.

That means I will be watching the game on mute. And listening to the game on the radio. Like Frank Beckman a whole lot better! Or if we get the whole 105,000+ stadium chanting. ABC would look really stupid on national tv to mute the crowd noise.

What's wrong with Craig James?

He is a phony.  He has no integrity.  It is difficult to take anything he says seriously because of his track record of lying and backstabbing.  He has no objectivity and no talent.  Besides using his position to get Leach fired, thus helping his pathetic, entitled, crybaby son, he still expects everyone to believe that he never took a dime in the SMU scandal.  

Other than that, he's everything you would want in a football analyst.
