Has anyone been watching some of these this year? I think our camerawork is great and the picture is crisp. However, the on-screen graphics and announcers really bother me during the broadcast. Several mistakes with the graphics that indicate the booth might be good at doing a broadcast, but not in tune with football's rules? If you tuned in with 2:04 to go in the game, you'd think Mercer had 3 timeouts left and Citadel 0. Unfortunately you'd be very upset to learn that Citadel had 3 timeouts and Mercer 0. It was further exaggerated when Citadel took a timeout and the new display said Citadel 0 timeouts, Mercer 2.
The announcers have been solid, but I just never get the feeling that they're "all-in" with Mercer. The general tone is a bit of indifference. For reference, our radio man is absolutely ALL IN with Mercer. There is 0% doubt that he bleeds orange and black. DJ Shockley being a UGA man hurts his image rooting for Mercer, and the other man is downright excited when the other team scores by yelling "TOUCHDOWN!". If I was out of the room I'd be stunned to learn that was an away team score.
Overall I'm thrilled we have ESPN3 in place, and I hope our broadcasts improve moving forward. Some viewers may be tuning in for the first time and I'd hate to have it be their last time.
