I usually don’t listen because I am either watching the game one way or the other . But yesterday had to do some driving and listened on the radio - it was brutal . I only listened part of the second and third quarters . So maybe other parts of the game were better.
Here were some lowlights ;
Big pass down the field . Carlin starts screaming big play to KJ duff. Duff!!
Then legrand starts gushing about duff again . He’s coming along and made a great play. Then some silence …Carlin : oh we just got word from Fooch it was not duff on the catch, it was Ian Strong ! Fooch can see it better since he’s on the field. Yikes !
Minnesota has the ball at the rutgers 17….Carlin : there is a pass in the flat to Minnesota RB and he walks in for the touchdown . Wait this is a radio. I am not watching it . Carlin tell listener what happened between the 17 and endzone
End of first half . Rutgers has the ball . No or little mention of how many timeouts Minnesota has left , as this affects rutgers strategy.
Third quarter . Minnesota completed an 8 or 9 yard pass - wasn’t sure exactly. Rutgers is flagged for defensive holding. The penalty is 10 yards. Teel says Minnesota should decline the pentalty to get their quarterback credit for the passing yards. Because he’s a former QB and that’s what he would want. Of course , Minnesota wants the yards and accepts the penalty . Yikes !
Not much analyzing legrand and teel. There was a possession where Rutgers threw the ball every play. Legrand said “I can’t remember a run on this drive “. Tell the listener why they are throwing it every play does the defense have 8 guys in the box ? Is it because Kyle isn’t playing ?
I didn’t understand this - tell the listener why !
Listen I don’t expect some great broadcast . I get it that it’s not Bob Poppa and Carl banks . But it shouldn’t sound like I am tuning into the Piscataway high school station to listen to the JV soccer game.
Hopefully this crew will understand the listener isn’t watching the game . We need to know the score, timeouts , where the ball is and give us the right guy who made the play.
