[NU Sports] annoying fans and PA announcers

[cherron604 at aol.com]

 AMEN !
 
Whoever's son, son-in-law, nephew or boyfriend he might be, WE HAVE TO LOSE THE SIDELINE REPORTER !
 
We don't need him to describe the game for us - we have all been watching it.
 
The audio quality is horrible - all kinds of interference and 'slap-back' as you hear everything twice
 
I have been to games all over the country - nobody else does this.
 
Is there an inside story ?  Does anybody know, is this guy somebody connected ?  Are the higher-ups pulling strings to get this guy a plum job somewhere ?
 
Just show the scores - Top 25, Big Ten, other 'name schools' (I remember the late 80s-early 90s, when you were much more likely to hear a Farleigh Dickinson-Lehigh score at old Dyche), and have the PA announcer read them clearly.  Plus the crowd always appreciates a dramatic pause, or the score given in reverse (i.e. 'And from South Bend...Notre Dame 31, Southern Cal...(dramatic pause)...34 !' followed by much cheering).
 
Just lose the 'sideline reporter', PLEASE !

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.
