ESPN- UConn matters

[UConnDan97]

My God, what a great hire!

This man has turned us into the darlings of college football. Please find a way to keep him here, because the future is brighter than the sun...

Yeah your gripe is with CBS. They hired her. Let them know you don't want her on the games because she doesn't meet your standards.

To me they clearly made a decision they are comfortable letting her work the kinks out on our games. I wonder why.

gender equity

edit: yes, a stupid man states the obvious. Maybe it should be said. This would be unacceptable if this were a man. I was spitting nails the other night because of an ESPN+ male announcer for hockey who clearly had never done PbP before though I was even more furious with "shakes" the camera man more.

I hate incompetence and I hate willful incompetence more.

Speaking of awful announcing, I just caught the basketball game off the DVR. Chris Lewis and Steve Lappas were horrendous.

I could be going deaf, but I thought I heard Lewis referred to Tristan "Newtson" on a few occasions.

When Newton got the rebound to round out his triple-double, Lappas asked how the crowd knew? I haven't been to the Civic Center since the 2020 Memphis game, but doesn't a portion of the center court board indicate the lineup on the floor along with point, assists, and rebounds? Am I misremembering?

Yep , and there was also the time it was said that we had won three titles

I heard that one as well.

Same here. I really thought someone would give him a nudge and he'd correct the error after the commercial break, but nope.

If we are being honest, Meghan got this gig because UConn was ranked between 127 and 130 in the pre-season. CBS figured it was a good spot for training. Im happy that games I can’t get to are on tv. I am willing to suck it up And listen to poor announcers.

I know basketball broadcasts for unranked teams have commentators in the studio rather than at the game. It’s annoying because they miss a lot. I get that it’s cheaper for the network but there are a lot of bad announcers that just sit in a studio calling game after game.

Maybe we should have some college football guys call the bad WNBA games. Can you imagine the howling?

Well if we are being black and white, we do have 3 championships with a total of 4 in man's basketball. He just forgot to count the last one. If he had looked up he could have corrected his mistake the same way the crowd knew that TN had a triple double.
