Last Nights SNY Broadcast - A Few Comments

[hookshot]

Look, I guess most of you really like Meg, but to me she can be really annoying. I don't like the tone of her voice, but overlooking that, I'm tired of her always saying "she got away with a foul", or "she should have been called for a foul" when talking about our team.

She is right nearly 100% of the time, from my perspective. I typically am already saying it to myself when she chimes in. If you are at the game with a knowledgable companion, you'd likely be sharing the same comment between you. She announces from a fan's perspective and lets the chips fall where they may. She is not from the 'see no evil, hear no evil' school of announcing.

But Meg also said that Dorka has played poorly the whole game which was not true..The 2nd half of the 2nd quarter Dorka was the only one that was playing well an also for a few mins in the 3rd quarter the same thing..Dorka had a bad game but she certainly did not play poorly the whole game as Meg said

Meg was correct on Dorka playing poorly, She might of made a couple of plays but was sleep walking on defense. She must be more aggressive and tough to help this team. But i agree with this."I'm tired of her always saying "she got away with a foul", or "she should have been called for a foul" when talking about our team. "

I hear yeah. One particular one that I recall was regarding Muhl having gotten away with a walk (I was at the game and it was obviously a walk), but fortunately wasn't called). Although it may be irritating, It is helps to put things into perspective for fans who see a walk by the other team that goes uncalled. Knowing Meg has some balance, gives her more credibility when she also points out that those instances when Uconn is getting hosed (i.e if Meg says it, it must be true)

Meg adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast. Her commentary is not at all insightful. She states the very obvious and offers simplistic opinions. Speaking for my wife as well, we’d enjoy the game much more without her commentary.

If you played a drinking game where you had to drink every time Meg said "What a block!" Tuesday night, you would have been pretty drunk by the end of the game.

That is a big annoyance of mine.

You can certainly tell what players Meg Culmo likes and what players she isn't fond of during any broadcast.

I thought it was just me who noticed that.

So, who does she like??

She states it more when it's UConn that "got away" with a foul vs the opposing team. If she is going to note it when a team gets away with a foul, she needs to do it for both teams.

I’ve said it before, and because she is one of our own, I don’t like to say it, but I’ve noticed how bad she was a long time ago. I find that she wrong a lot about different things. She also gives her opinion way too much. Just call the game, I don’t care what you would have done. She comes across as a know it all whom I don’t believe she has ever admitted to be wrong, which she is alot. There’s alot not to like about her game calling skills. I just CANT watch a game with no sound, but she has made me try it. I feel guilty for not liking her games because I know she bleeds blue, but it’s just not good.

I watch a lot of other games and there are plenty of announcers that are much worse than our SNY crew. I think Meg is just fine. Every announcer has their quirks.
