That was easily the worst broadcast and broadcast team we've had since moving to the BE. Who would've thought we'd be clamoring to get Pete Gillen back.
I particularly enjoyed the segment about a former Chicagoland high school football player - who didn't attend either university that was playing nor did he play the same sport that was being played. That was timely and added to the broadcast.
I guess there's a reason they're broadcasting on CBSSN.
So cool to think that in much of the CU/MVC era I'd have been happy to have Jays televised. Now I can grouse about the broadcasters, because national TV is the norm now
Last night's announcers were not good. But, earlier this year, Jimmy Jackson, who is Fox's #2 analyst for Big East basketball, said that Kalkbrenner "has a history of getting into foul trouble and fouling out of games." Jackson has done a lot of CU games the past four years. That statement had to be one of the most inaccurate statements from any announcer.
Jim Jackson is an asshat.
