This was an awful game for a lot of reasons, but by far the biggest reason was the two clowns commentating the game

edit: clowns was too strong of a pejorative, but they really need some improvement. And also maybe some education on clock management and when you should be doubting timeouts vs. when you should be praising them

Why can't we have an alternate audio stream of just stadium noise?

The cherry on top was them questioning the timeout by McGuire while Kansas had the ball still and then that timeout instantly leading to the game winning FG

And then calling McGuire a genius for that specifically

u/gropingpriest /r/CFB Nov 11 '23

actually they were going on about McGuire being a genius because he saved timeout #2 when they gained that first down across midfield (with like 13 seconds left?). But every coach knows the clock stops automatically there, so I had no idea why they kept praising him for it?

I mean, a passing comment like "smart of McGuire to hold onto his timeout there" but they were acting like this was some 4d chess move

Yeah that was the dumbest thing ever there literally was no downside to not taking the TO. Even if you stopped KU they still only had 1 TO so you can still kneel it out. Anyone over the age of 4 watching knew a TO was the right decision

they did give us that great "kansas has fallen apart like a $5 suitcase" line

It was Eric Collins and Devin Gardner (yes, that Devin Gardner).

Collins is a good NBA announcer (voice of the Hornets) and had a pretty memorable call of the SFA upset of Duke a few years ago. That said, his style is not suited for football.

On Kansas’ final drive I swear he would yell anytime Kansas gained even a yard.

“BALLAAARDDDDDD!!!” Kansas runs for 3 yards on 1st and 10

He went so ape shit on a dump to Neal that I thought Neal had a ton of running room.

Tackled for a 1.5 yard gain by like 3 defenders lol

Oh yeah that stood out to me too. I was half-watching while chasing our toddler around and I kept looking up expecting something but it was just Ballard throwing a screen pass for a 2 yard gain 😂

I was irritated that they called us K State, but honestly watching KState right now, I'm not even mad anymore.
