Are those law books in the background? Is that your wife? Way to be supportive!Lawboy wrote:Eh, I give her a pass because:
1) she listed the BYU Qb battle as the top for all non-AQ schools,
2) she is not Graham Watson,
3) she is actually making an effort.
The low quality video is ESPN's fault not hers. By the way, other bloggers for other conferences have done similar things with a similar feel. Miller of the PAC-12 has, Dinich for the ACC, etc. This is not just a non-AQ thing, it is an ESPN thing.
BYU fans are notoriously hard on ESPN bloggers. I think we need to encourage more and hammer less. At least this chick is trying.

A poor man's Elizabeth Banks,
but terrible on camera.....even for a webcam. ESPN should be embarrassed by this bush-league webcast. Even Brett Richins has better production quality.

Re: This Is As Good As ESPN Could Do?
Like I said, Heather Dinich had a similar crap post, as did Ted Miller. At this point, I think ESPN just wants the content, and will tweak it later. But the thing that makes these awkward isthe lack of highlights. ESPN has conditioned us to watch their talking heads in shorts spurts, not for 5 minutes straight with no visuals. So these are strange.

Re: This Is As Good As ESPN Could Do?
That's what I was thinking. It was awkward just to see her stare at the camera the whole time without highlights. I was expecting them to come but they never did...Lawboy wrote: But the thing that makes these awkward isthe lack of highlights.

Alright, I'm just gonna say what everyone else is thinking, but only I have the balls to admit:
I'd tap that.

You know...the sad thing is I felt like I was watching a 12 year old girl read her talk in church.

Re: This Is As Good As ESPN Could Do?
What???The defense is also in a rebuilding mode, after losing six starters including all four linebackers. That is going to be difficult for BYU to replace.
She forgot about our boy Jordan Pendelton
She needs to do a little more research before this crappy video goes viral
How much more improved?...after Washington, which should be much more improved under Jake Locker
I call B.S.!!!That is the biggest quarterback battle to watch among the non-AQ's.
More like, the biggest quarterback battle to watch among all of college football.

Re: This Is As Good As ESPN Could Do?
Who is this Jake Locker guy they keep talking about?
... Oh, and is that saliva running down Belotti's chin, I think the guy is actually drooling while talking about J.L.
