Announcers

[j-buff]

Brock Huard seems to hate Penn State and wishing for a upset. I think he sucks as announcer and is a terrible analyst

 

[psulax3]

Who?

 

[ram2020]

I disagree, I thought at times he was very complimentary and was particularly effusive of his praise for JoeMo. Huard did the Temple game last year and was very optimistic about Trace and how the offense has evolved. I think he is also very knowledgeable about offensive football.

Huard actually has insight into the game. He is often complimentary of PSU.

 

[NittanySteel]

LOL. Some people wouldn't be happy unless the TV networks just put Steve and Jack in the booth for all PSU games.

.......As long as it isn't stupid beth mowens. I would not wreck that chick. Like nails on a chalkboard.

Brock is my favorite football announcer. He actually announces a game instead of spending the whole time trying to prove how witty he is like that idiot Jesse Palmer, or being effusive about every team like that other idiot Mack Brown. If Brock says something that is not complimentary about a team then they generally deserve it. Learn how to take come criticism when it's deserved.

I agree with the OP...I had to mute it at times yesterday.

 

[lionlurker]

I don't think Huard is all that bad. Of course, that's all relative.

It's sad how the TV guys used to bend over backwards to praise us. Now they do the opposite, for the most part.

I thought he had some great ideas on how to get the footballs dislodged from the trees

 

[Rudy4526]

I thought he called a great game and glad those kids got the footballs out of the trees.

 

[psuro]

I was feeling the tension when I saw not one but two footballs in the trees.

The obvious thing to do is to move the football stadium away from the trees.

Can anyone recap what he said about defenses knowing SB getting the ball when he was within a certain distance of T

Thats all well and good but he needs to get his basic facts correct. Sickels was not held out the first half of the tOSU game for "targeting" as Huard repeatedly said.
Get the facts correct and I'll be more impressed. Really its not that hard its his job.

What I like about Huard is that he does not take the viewpoint of one side or another side: He stays impartial in his call.

Yep, that was the highlight of his announcing career..... and he spent way too much time talking about it and there was way too much TV coverage of the end zone kids. They could have listed both events on the B10 TV listing....

And Indy should have been penalized for those kids kicking a ball into the end zone. Instead PSU ended up with worse field position.
