ESPNU Coverage of UF vs South Carolina Game

Posted on February 5 2009 by kevin

So I’m in Orlando, sick, and house sitting and I tune into ESPNU the other night to check out the UF and South Caroline Men’s Basketball Game. Wow….WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!

To begin with, 75% of the game view was from some “backboard camera” which was obviously under control of a Monkey on an eight ball as multiple times action was missed from this vantage point. I shudder to think that anyone with vertigo saw this game as they would have been throwing up 30 seconds into it.

The announcers were college kids “moderated” by a ESPN Broadcaster. These guys were actually amusing and a bit insightful into both campuses. In particular their bit on the ugliest girls in the SEC being at Mississippi State was pretty good. After about a half, the banter become boring and too much…more game information, less small talk.

Several times the game cut to telecommunication students in the stands doing in game broadcasts…which were all pretty bad…I couldn’t believe these people were representing UF. Ouch.

All I can say is ESPNU = Never Again!
