LT does suck. Don't know why you gotta drag the FCS through the mud though . I could almost put up with him if they would stop missing snaps to show the starting line ups, and not have at least one missed play a game due to media time outs. Since they seem incapable of doing that, find a color guy who doesn't suck. Grab an actual former Bison player. There are plenty floating around the FM area and some of them could do a decent job.
A school to the north had a problem with a former player (now HS Coach) doing play by play. Felt it was a recruiting edge. it limited options. Lee Timmerman is the "smartest guy in the room" that nobody can stand. I couldn't believe it last Saturday. He is so arrogant, stomps on the calls of Shawn, won't stop talking. you literally can predict his "stance" on every call. If it is close....LT will take the anti Bison angle. So boring and predictable.
KVLY using him to keep the western side of the state happy. Just awful. Brian Shawn does a great job, I wish LT would allow him to talk more. He does his homework.
Down and distance PLEASE!!!!
Everyone just relax, all right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women.
I couldn't believe the number of times that he corrected Shawn. He may have been right but it came off as unprofessional and Pompous. I am usually pretty easy going listening to announcers but he annoyed the hell out of me and he doesn't shut up and would ramble into the call for the next play.
My wife and father-in-law watched the game with me on Saturday. Both of them do not know about Bisonville's gripe with LT. Both of them commented on his subtle jabs at NDSU...wondering what the deal was.
I don't mind it when LT informs the listener (he doesn't need to do it as much as he does, but this is a small complaint), but he is one step away from blatantly siding with anybody that plays against NDSU...as in, "We clearly had the Bison stopped on that 3rd and long even though the replay might not show it," or I'm glad the Bison got flagged for the facemask even though the replay didn't show a facemask. We just need to catch a break."

Regarding down and distance, I just fast-forwarded through the entire game. They did put it up for most plays (not all, but most). I think the problem is that it takes soooo damn long to update it that most people are already watching the formation and play. I'm assuming the DIRECTV feed from KVLY is the same one that you see back in ND...
