Unadulterated LOW in webcasting from MSU

OK, I was just going to sigh and turn the computer off, after all the Wildcats did come out with a win. But, I must comment......
If I was MSU athletic dept., I would be so ashamed of the webcast of tonight's game. If you did not view it, here is what I observed:

1. The announcers came close to having the Conference reprimand/boot them from the air - (see Sac State announcer removal a year or two ago). Announce the game, don't second guess every call tat goes against your team, don't call every purported foul that the officials did not call on the visitor, don't go blind when your home team guys foul a Weber player etc.
2.Has the Director of this game ever watched a basketball broadcast? When a player is shooting free throws, you don't take a baseline camea shot without cutting back so the viewer can see if he made the shot! You don't run instant replays in the heat of the game, over and over. The rapid cuts between cameras loses any chance of following the action.
3. Please allocate a little $$ from the football program to buy newer cameras that will work in the lower light settings at Worthington and upgrade the Internet connection. I have not had so much buffering since using a dial up modem 15 years ago.
4. Figure out who is advertising and go back to game action when it starts after a time out.

I am happy the Wildcats got a road win, but it was hard to watch....
 
The entire broadcast was pretty bad last night. My favorite part was when the audio quit working for about 5 minutes. Did anyone else miss the final shot due to buffering? The Big Sky needs to implement some standards so the feeds are the same at all locations.

Carl and Dutch should listen to the MSU broadcast from last night. When the broadcasters go into full home team biotch mode it doesn't make for a good experience. There have been a few times when our broadcast has been close to that bad with all the biotching Carl and Dutch do at times.

I am a little jealous of their inflatable bobcat/Doberman/Shrek cross breed thingy that vomits them out of the tunnel.

 
Wow...embarrassing. A school that prides itself on its academics really looked red neckish last night. Really really bad. I always think the UNCO guy is the worst, but the MSU boozo really made a run at being the worst last announcer last night. Not everyone can be a professional like Mitch Stroman. As for the broadcast...that was soooo pre 2005.
