Poll: Which was worse?

[99topdawg]

Take your pick. Watching Iowa lose 108-10 in the last 5 first halves, watching Iowa slip and slide their way through a ridiculously cold bowl game, or repeatedly hearing the redundant phrase "young linebacker", etc.?






To me it was a no brainer. Did you pick the Booger, too?

 

[ShockHawk22]

Previous 5 is the obvious pick but that field should never be played on again. I somehow hate the yanks more after that

 

[pythagoras]

Booger having literally ZERO clue about football between these 2 teams.

 

[BVHawk95]

Those two made me miss Beth Mowins. I'm not even joking.

At least Beth researches before she goes on air.

I'll second that!!!! I didn't care for Booooooger and Mack sounds like a whinny beotch!

 

[NCHawker]

They kept it positive. I'll give 'em that.

 

[judzeehawk]

I found it funny how they were all Dillon this Dillon that and the second half Dillon disappeared! Wonder what happened there?

 

[MoseSchrute]

Booger having literally ZERO clue about football between these 2 teams.

Pathetic. Do your damn job!

The announcers on Sirius/XM weren't much better.
The color man literally dropped this astounding bit of knowledge on his audience... "Iowa plays at Kinnick Stadium, which is named after their only Heisman winner Nile Kinnick."
Seriously. Good grief.
The ONLY people listening to the Iowa-BC game on XM radio for more than 5 seconds were either Iowa fans or BC fans.
Every Iowan knows this "incredible and interesting Kinnick-factoid" more than they know their social security number - and BC fans could of course care less.
Those announcers likely showed up 45 min before kickoff and were each handed a laminated sheet of thoroughly researched talking points from some 20 year-old intern with no clue and a brand new nose ring she got during Christmas break.

Well, the 5 previous bowl turds is the obvious answer. But, Booger was really bad. I’m not gonna rip on Mack though. He knew enough to muddle his way through it, even if he mostly spoke in generalities.

 

[uihawk82]

Well right now that playing surface was the worst for a bowl game in many many years. Terrible.

Yes the last 5 bowl losses were terrible but no way this game should continue in this cold weather stadium that cant have a thawed field.

Mack knows what he's talking about, but that doesn't mean he needs to be in the booth. He's often stating the obvious in a shaky delivery. Tony Romo is a much better example of Player/Coach turned announcer.
