ESPN Announcers

I thought the announcers did a good job, but I am not as critical as others are. I also thought Palmer pointed out a couple of times when Josh made the wrong read in the mesh early in the first quarter. I had no gripe with the announcers -- besides, all my hate/gripe/ire/whatever ya want to call it is towards Cow College East right now.
 
Speaking of journalists, nice blog posting by HD this morning with good quotes from Richard and CPJ.

Considering what Georgia Tech has pulled off in Paul Johnson's first season -- eight wins despite a new offense, a new defense and a young, injury-laden roster -- watching the chaos should be much easier. Georgia Tech was picked to finish fourth in the Coastal Division behind Miami. Instead, they're sitting atop the division standings.
"Everybody pretty much laughed at us when we were killing ourselves in the offseason," Richard said. "Look at me now. Who has the last laugh?"
There's no question King Richard was holding court after his senior night win, one in which the defense played its best in recent weeks. Asked if Johnson should be named coach of the year, Richard didn't hesitate, and made several good points.
"How many people thought he was going to get it done?" Richard asked. "I mean, not only are we bowl eligible, but now we really have a chance to play in the championship game by a guy who came in and changed the offense from a pro style to an option-based spread. Let's be honest, if you can show me a better candidate, I would like to hear it, and I would definitely refute a lot of the facts people might put up, but he's done a hell of a job here."
It's hard to argue against the 6-foot-4, 290-pound grad student

Some people will find anything to complain about, even when there's nothing there.

The announcers were good to us and I enjoyed them.
 
I was very happy with the announcers last night, all I heard was them bragging about GT, the option, Paul Johnson, Womack, and MJ getting fed over and over.

Great stuff, it sucks that they had to eventually stay off topic because the game was a blowout, but its better than the alternative!!!
 
Fowler is one of the best personalities in college football. He's smart, he's witty, he calls the game well. If you don't like him, then please tell me who you do like?

Why do people always find something to complain about?
 
I watched the game (twice now) and thought they did a fairly good job. Messed up a few names here or there, but otherwise they were showing us love for most of the game.

More important to me than just showing love, they were correct for the most part. They were pre-game very pro-Miami, I thought -- as Miami was ranked, but as Tech demolished Miami, they were very pro-Tech, as should have been based on the game. However, they did point out mistakes by both teams. I loved how Herbstreit kept pointing out how the Miami Offense was not showing any development over the season -- and that statement kept coming up every time they showed Nix. Although he never stated Nix sucks, it was very implicit in his descriptions.

Rece Davis is miles better then Fowler. That said, the entire third quarter was full of Fowler one liners that were immensely enjoyable. I didn't even care that they took the fourth quarter off, because they at least showed up for the three quarters that Miami didn't.

I still think Jesse Palmer is an idiot and adds nothing though.
