[NU Sports] annoying fans and PA announcers

[Jonathan Hodges]

Obviously the announcers always give a home-team slant and it's hard
to go into another stadium and appreciate their announcers.  I do
agree that the Big Ten/Top 25 scores should be posted more regularly. 
Right now they appear during some timeouts and between the quarters
depending on if a promotion is going on at the time.  I don't see why
they couldn't dedicate one half of the south end zone board to scores
and the other half to the promotion.  Also, the scores sometimes seem
to be delayed significantly at times.  They added the on-the-field
reporter recently as well for the trivia quiz and score reports, which
really doesn't do much in the stands where you can see the whole field
anyways and can't hear it really well.
