I'd love the Fox Sports crew that did the k-state game. That was an awesome broadcast.

If you leave tailgating hungry and thirsty, you're doing it wrong
I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
I'm confused...I think the crew coming for the game on Sat is the best ESPN crew we've had here previously (yes, I know that is like taking first place in you know what, but still). Cara did a great job on the sidelines for the semi and natty last year...I thought Andre did pretty good too (a lot better than Jay Walker). Maybe Dave Neal will say Beck is from Munich, IN or someone from Becker, MT?

Pure speculation, but I'm thinking the more national media attention the Bison get, the better the broadcast team will announce. In some respects, NDSU Bison Football is the darling of ESPN right now. Granted, we did not get the coveted primetime Friday evening broadcast we expected had Montana won last week's game (no disrespect, CCU, it's the regional and national championship rivalry thing), but our 11:00 o'clock Sat. game is on ESPN, not ESPN3, not ESPNU, not even ESPN2. It's on ESPN. Not even the FCS National Championship gets on ESPN (they are scheduled for ESPN2). Doesn't make any difference the way I channel surf. I find the program I'm interested in. But if you're just looking for some sporting event to watch, where do you start: ESPN.
What I'm trying to say is I think these announcers will try harder this time. College Gameday still plays a role. Perhaps the announcing team has been given more on-job time to research the teams. Hope so. We'll see.

From an exposure perspective I much prefer the morning ESPN game. It is rough on the tailgaters.......but better for exposure.
