[NU Sports] QB parents et al

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Le Miz were favored by big score. So it makes sense going in that ESPN
would select a broadcast team familiar with them and preparation would
include a fair amount of Mizzu backstory if it became a blowout.

If NU had been the favorite, I'm sure the broadcast team would have been
Pam Ward and Chris Spielman and probably a production crew familiar with
all the NU faces in the crowd.

That said, the broadcast crew that worked the game were fairly lame.
They lost track of the down count.  They forget how to pronounce Bacher.
They didn't seem to be able to see the field well at all when describing
down and distance.  The Chase Daniels backstory was worn out by half
time as were the shots of his family and the advantages of growing up
playing football in Texas.  

I would have forgiven them all of this though, if we had won.

Dennis, Thanks for mentioning the TV bias.  It continues to be
unbearable to hear the bias of the commentators during our games.  Last
night was especially bad.  From the outset of the game, it was all about
Chase Daniel this and Chase Daniel that.  And here's his family again
and again and again.  Never mind that Bacher had the much better night
throwing for over 300 yards and 3 TDs.  We hardly heard anything about
the NU players and we never saw a shot of any of their families.  And
most of the time NU scored it was because of a Missouri mistake etc.
etc.  We'll just have to keep winning.

There was one nice TV shot of the crowd (very brief) where you could see
Pat Ryan, Pres. Bienen, and Pres. Schapiro sitting together.  No comment
about that, however.
