Todays announcers

[Adesmar123]

That could very well be the most inept broadcasting team since the "boom goes the dynamite" kid. They miscalled penalties, downs, and spotting of the ball. The camera guy got caught going for the fake a few times and we watched a standing quarterback without the ball. And then Joe D decides the team should run out the clock. He has a hard enough time doing the job he should be doing, don't be a coach

Watched the 1st quarter replay. Looks like it was recorded with a phone, but you know what, it's better than nothing at all. Joe D is still Joe D.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

I commented on this in another thread... it really was bad. I am glad I was able to watch the game.....but yikes.

Joe D also kept saying one of my new pet peeves...."Jim Mora Jr.". He isn't a junior....he has a different middle name.

 

[RedStickHusky]

I got a little nostalgic.... Thought I was listening to a radio call at 3am in Korea.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Yes, the announcers and the entire production crew were beyond awful. And my brain is still having seizures from the cameras bouncing and moving all around in random directions and sequences only tangentially related to the play on the field.

 

[Patman]

agreed the overlay was overthought. Score on the left??? No. Camera cuts were weird. All levels of uncoordinated. Is this this first time Fox61 did this? Joe D. drooling over the females on the weather team on air was unprofessional.

They need to make a lot of improvements.

 

[JohnFSilver]

Goodness. I thought Joe and Fanta were good. I loved having them on the call.

W Rouen is Rudy Martzke these days .

Fanta was ok...Joe was not.

 

[Skiblets]

Joe was brutal. Miscalled players. And the thing with the female Fox 61 broadcasters was super cringe

 

[McLovin]

TO ALL OF THE IDIOTS WHO WANTED TO STAY IN THE AAC: this is what every ESPN+ broadcast would have been.

Yeah the weather girl thing was super cringe, and really a head shaker from a voice of UConn athletics I grew up listening too.

 

[UCMB88]

The production was hot garbage. Camera work was awful. Felt like I was watching a high school game on cable access. Knew we were in for a long day with Joe D. when he called Brewton "Brewster" on the opening kickoff! And anyone close to the program should know he's NOT Jim Mora, Jr. It's a pet peeve of mine too. Adam Giardino does the same thing on the radio - geesh!

 

[Hoophound]

I was happy there was a way to watch. The fact it even had announcers was a bonus.

 

[Alum86]

In stadium announcers shabby as usual, too. No announcement on the opening kick-off.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Joe D constantly announced the wrong players names the whole game. It was a horrendous broadcast.

Put me with the group of people who were just grateful to be able to watch the game. When I clicked on the live feed 15 minutes before the game and got a replay of the morning news show, I was worried.

If you really hate the announcers that much, mute is always an option.

 

[2Infinity]

It was nice to have the game televised, that was a plus! That said, between Joe’s numerous play call mistakes and unsolicited judgements, it reminded you why he’s not doing this on a regular basis anymore.

Lol.

I too was grateful to watch. The horrible announcing made it more enjoyable in a MST3K type of way.

I was wondering if it was his fault or his spotter’s.

And if the shaky and unprofessional video isn't yo your liking blacken the screen too.

 

[Stinger92860]

That would mean he has used the same spotter for every game he has ever called.

 

[CL82]

Or just turn it off, right. Because the game not being broadcast was the other option since no one else wanted to pick it up.

You are not wrong, especially for a “professional” broadcast. It was amateurish. but, again, I just appreciate the opportunity to see it. 1-11 teams playing against an in- state FCS opponents usually won’t get tv coverage, plus an internet feed. But, yeah, if they pick up another game next year they need to do better.

It is legitimate to ask if he is drunk
, on prescription drugs or is in early stages of dementia/alzheimer disease.

 

[History Geek]

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt

 

[hardcorehusky]

From a p by p perspective, Joe D has lost his fastball. Where he gave great value was tying UConn football history to today. Aka when UConn had good teams, they always had a great running back combo. Mentioned the 90's and RE tandems.

I like my color guys to be a little more analytical. Fawning over Valentin Senn doesn't cut it for me, but to each their own.
