FOX is killing college football

12
Vote

by Suckatsports

So, apparently another drunk, overrated, Cowboys coach is sitting in the FOX NFL studio. Recently posted on AA, Barry Switzer has joined NFL on FOX. They are of course missing Dave Campo and Bill Parcels at this point, otherwise they will have everyone that coached for the Cowboys under the plastic Jerry Jones.

Enough about the NFL for now, this is about college football. I have tried to make it painfully obvious how much I love college football. Nothing could have been worse than FOX taking over the BCS last year, and I still blame them for when Florida spanked Ohio State - they were the one change throughout the year.

FOX has a great infrastructure for the NFL, they have knowledgeable, if not crazy people. They have the stats, they have ex-players, and even though they look like a bunch of mannequins, sometimes they stumble upon good breakdowns. There was none of this when they involved Barry Alvarez to break down the BCS, a man who has clearly lost touch with reality now that he's an AD. Now they involve a man that has almost nothing to do with college football anymore, and is best known for running one of the dirtiest college and pro programs.

In this case, the ABC/ESPN has the infrastructure to care for the baby that is college football. They have people solely dedicated to college football, not that just "dabble" in it. The least they could do is fall upon ABC/ESPN for information that I don't want to hear.

I love the Cowboys but even I shake my head when I think of the Barry Switzer era and I cannot stand the man.

ABC must get the rights back. Thom Brennaman makes me want to jam my ears with ice picks.

It could be worse. Tim McCarver could be broadcasting the games.

I'd say NBC is worse, televising mediocre Notre Dame football week after week.

lets not lump Jimmy Johnson in with Switzer and Campo, everyone knows the 90's super bowl teams where jimmy's and no one else's. Switzer was a good college coach though, so i guess that's why they thought it might be a decent idea to get him on as an analyst.
