[Husker] ISU Homers

[Duane Feldman]

I remember hearing the same comments and at first was offended because "this game is a lot closer than the score would indicate" and "if those two calls were reversed then it is a tie game" was reiterated several times over the course of the game.  Never did they mention that Blythe might not have been open if he hadn't pushed off.  OTOH, if I'm an announcer and it is my job to keep viewers watching (they are rated on viewer retention), then I am hyping the losing team (no matter who) as though people better stay on THIS channel because there might be a comeback.
 
Putting myself in their shoes makes the comments more palatable.

I didn't get that feeling at all Jay.  Lots of people
in Tennessee are convinced that all of ESPN, and most
of the free world lothe Tennessee and go out of their
way to dis them.  I don't see that either.  Oh well,
ignorance is bliss......
