Good shit!
Feels so nice to be not embarrassed (even proud!) of KU football again.
It kinda felt like the powers that be wanted to keep it close. And every time we were about to blow the lid off it, another phantom personal foul.
And yea, I’ve seen better teevee broadcasts on the local public access channel.

Yeah, that was an ESPN+ caliber production last night. I hope KU gets a better bowl game next just so it's more watchable.

Everyone noticed the amateur hour production quality and the refs. ESPN should issue an apology to Kansas for allowing this dreck. It was a Mountain West commercial and gambling primer

It was just
super disorganized. Mowins is usually pretty good, but it was one instance after another of Mowins and her partner not really seeming to have any grasp of what was actually happening on the field. To the point that I wondered whether they were even on-site.
To say nothing of course of the weird directorial decisions on what replays to show.

It felt like they only had a few cameras and that whoever was producing the game from their truck wasn't doing a good job of staying up on what was happening. They showed some replays but did a terrible job of integrating them into the game when needed.

There was always Stormy to bring us back to a hot take.

Is this the sideline reporter who said she's a lifelong UNLV fan the first time she got her face on my teevee?

Bingo.

It’s almost like ESPN didn’t send a professional level crew to cover a college football bowl game that would draw ~27k fans at a ~49k Baseball stadium.

I also wonder if some of the disconnect was due to the funky layout - if they were calling the game from the baseball stadium's press box, I think that meant they were WAY back of one corner of the field. Not exactly ideal for, you know,
seeing the action for purposes of describing it.

I dunno. Producers and such are giving announcers info into their ears/on their screens. That’s part of the magic of how they see everything so fast.

Yeah - the producer was obviously not any good. There was no coherence to the broadcast whatsoever. Even the sound cut in and out at times. It was just shit.

At least KU gets it’s Guaranteed Rate to play in the game though, right?

ESPN mailed it in. We are seeing their cash flow issues very apparently now.
