I don't know if I agree. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but just wanted them to shut-up as they talk as if they have to. Of course I was listening to Ironhead. The problem is that it appears no one is giving these kids feedback so they can learn.
You’d think part of the curriculum would be listen to Byers and watch the match..
I was kind of expecting him nor to go today after the head bang against Michigan
Everybody's except Brands.
Just back from the match. Ain’t read Jack yet! Just wanna say that the brand of wrestling that the turtles trotted out there today was garbage. Eyes, heads, edge wrestling, lying about, …. just bad. Man up and take your whippin. If you don’t want to compete, we’ll just drop the sport and adopt a sport like bowling. Aaaah….
We're into February and thus into the gait analysis portion of the season!
More in one partial match than there is in an entire episode of the Three Stooges!
Did he ever say stop clutching your pearls? Asking for a friend
He’s flipped a fighter or two in his time
Except Miller was holding up index #1 finger while arm raised which I think started the booing
No one is going to complain about a student broadcaster stumbling over words or making small mistakes or having bad chemistry with their partner. But they should be expected to know standard terminology of the sport they’re commentating on.
No. But come on. There’s a certain minimum standard. I don’t expect them to know what a spladle is or a jonesy or even a cradle. I do expect them to know what a takedown, escape and nearfall are.
That certainly would be nice! Sadly we rarely seen any of these college age kids actually manage to do so. Honestly, it's not shocking given the work ethic of the average college student who is being forced to commentate a match for which they are likely not being graded on Super Bowl Sunday.
I listened to Byers so I didn’t hear the students. But I’m guessing it would be like me having to announce a Cricket match. I’d be like: Here’s the pitch and the batter hits it and is running back and forth while carrying his paddle. And somehow there is either 0 or 9 points and he may be out or is hitting again
that is why I said it appears no one is following up with them so they can learn. Saying the same stuff today as before. They should want to get better
From Cael is saying it sounds like a concussion. Kasak took a knee hard enough to his head, 9 days ago against Iowa to split his eyebrow open. Against Michigan on Friday and Maryland today, he took several jabs to the head. The last one from Miller most likely put him over the edge with the cumulative blows to the head over the last 9 days. Just my prediction, we don't see Kasak until B1Gs.
And have a riding time clock, by the way if you want a good laugh and have big10 plus listen maryland broadcast from Friday. I swear they were calling take down with a wrestler in control and gaining riding time.
Can we expect them to know how to pronounce last names of the 20 wrestlers they’ll see? It wasn’t like one syllable off. Poor Lemus was presented as though he was from Bordeaux.
Good thing none of us were on-air. Somebody would've said Lameass. Probably while drunk.
I mean, at one point that may have been blurted out but by then we were numb to the butchering.
Sir, this is why you will never be Carter Starocci.
I thought today they did better than many other student announcers I’ve heard.
