There is only one more BCS game left on FOX. I think this calls for a celebration.

Amen- how they even got the games in the first place is a mystery.

The game announcers aren't bad, but the whole production, from the studio (except for Eddie) to the sideline reporters, and everywhere in between is terrible. That, and Ohio State lost all three of their BCS games broadcast on Fox.

Horrible to watch. It just feels awkward the whole time.

The only good thing about FOX's production is they show a lot of crowd shots. Everything else is subpar.

Brent Musberger is awesome- one of the best play-by-play guys EVER in multiple sports- Herbie is annoying but does OK overall.

I don't mind Fox really. I know alot of people hate it, but I really don't get it. But I actually like the presentation of the games (Charles Davis is terrible, I'll give you that)

I remember Dick Stockton doing NBA games in the early 80's- pretty good announcer overall.

+1!!!

Why a majority of old school Buckeye fans hate him is a mystery to me.

Herbie is a great color man, imo.

lol I never thought about that. Is it a coincident that the Buckeye's BCS losing streak started on FOX and it ended when they wasn't broadcast on there? :D

The problem with Fox is that they think that if they don't cover games all year long and just plug in their NFL guys to announce and analyze, they'll be fine. In reality, it just looks like a sloopy piece of shit broadcast.

FOX is horrible ... however, they rewarded viewers with this "One Shining Moment" ...

I believe I heard one of the announcers last night say that Georgia Tech ran a "spread offense."

I distinctly remember hearing this too! My roommate looked at me and asked if the announcer really just said that and we both just lol'ed.
