Then listen to the radio, I'm watching to see how players are progressing, the basic concepts of our offense and defenses. Not for an infomercial on RU football. We've gotten very limited info on the team this spring. This was the one time we could actually see a scrimmage for ourselves and get basic info on the team. And they're butchering it with constant cut aways and a nonexistent broadcast of the game. Very disappointing.
You mean bore us to death! "Lecture" states a certain amount of knowledge, this guy is clueless! What's with all these interviews, split screens, worthless to what is actually going on in the field. What players are playing, where, and how. Just shameful by BTN, and Rutgers University for allowing it!
I didn't mind the interviews with the coaches or the split screen. Tonight was an introduction to a new regime. For that the approach in the booth should have been much different and basic.
Actually yes it was the only spring game I watched. I really could careless what Michigan's 2nd string line looks like. If they are all like this my question is WHY? There's so many new players on the field they can talk about and give us info on, but they chose not to. Is it shear laziness that they couldn't study up on 80 guys and write notes on each guy? Did they not get a roster to tell us who made a play or who was playing? I knew most but not all. Would have been nice for them to tell the uninformed. It's only their job after all.
I watched a few others (Michigan, Penn State and Michigan State). I get the widely used format and thought the interviews were good. But the game should not have been irrelevant, which it was, and inasmuch as this year represents a substantial break from the past- completely new coaching staff, new offensive and defensive alignments, etc, more time should have been spent discussing those things and where possible, given the limitations of the announcers, educating the fan base as to what to look for in the game and the rest of the year in terms of formations, techniques, differences from the last few years, personnel changes and the like. No problem with an infomercial, but at least live up to the info part of it. I watched the second half with the mute button on ; pray tell, what did I miss.
