plenzmd1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Man, will seem wrong not turning to CBS for that 3:30 game. It was a sad day when Uncle Vern left, this will be sad too! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that, the SEC is still the premiere conference in college football, so it's not difficult to understand the bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 As a fan of an SEC team, Thank God! We’re pretty sick of Gary Danielson, and we’re pretty sick of Verne Lundquist before he left. Everything that comes out of their mouth is Alabama Alabama Alabama, even when Alabama isn’t even playing. Also they take twice as many commercial breaks as other networks. It kills the game’s momentum every time. The game last’s 4 1/2 hours on CBS. Sorry, but we hate CBS 3:30 games with a passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm not a fan of the compression used to broadcast CBS on satellite/cable......the afternoon NFL game quality is bad relative to the night games on ESPN/NBC but it seems like the Saturday college games on CBS are even worse. What's the point of having ultra HD TV's to watch football to get a signal like that? Fox is even worse than CBS they barely broadcast in HD to start with and then if it's processed again for local tv it's *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major "network" stations are what suck.......I assume because of the extra steps involved in re-broadcasting the local tv versions. It's probable that they have to run ESPN thru extra steps like that in Ontario. If they are broadcasting canadian tv commercials on ESPN then I'd say that's a definite. Either way it's kinda' absurd in 2020 that you can get better resolution thru a cell phone feed than thru a dedicated cable line or sat signal.

sullim4 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 2 hours ago, row_33 said: ESPN college telecasts are the problem, far inferior quality to the others, not even a question Agreed. ESPN's picture quality is trash. I've watched it on cable, satellite, streaming... it all sucks. For the amount of money they command, you would think they could afford to stream 1080p but they are still stuck on 720p while CBS and NBC are on 1080i. CBS easily has the best picture quality and football production quality of the major 4 networks. NBC is a close second. FOX and ABC/ESPN are a distant third and fourth.

Georgia, Florida, & Auburn are all very strong teams and I could see them beating many of the better teams from other conferences too. I would also give an honorable mention to Texas A&M.
