Only Thing Worse Than SMU's On-Field Performance…

Postby aus10fromhous10 » Mon Oct 27, 2014 3:12 pm

Did anyone else notice the pitiful job ESPN did with the graphics during the Memphis game broadcast?

At first, they didn't even have the yellow first-down line displayed until 2:32 left in the second quarter:

And once they did, they were using the color/naming scheme for Southern Mississippi:

It wasn't until deep into the fourth quarter that this got fixed and they were using the correct logos and names for SMU.

I know we're having a terrible season, but this kind of carelessness is really inexcusable from the "Worldwide Leader."

are you sure we weren't just so far from the first-down line that it was out of the picture entirely?

Yeah, I thought that at first, so I started paying really close attention to it and that's not what was going on.

If you look at the first photo, it's 3rd & 5, and about 15 yards are in view. It was like that for both teams until 2:32 left in the second quarter

Guess we got ESPN's fourth-string TV crew to go along with our fourth-string QB

I'm sure they are thrilled about even having to broadcast our games

SMU (0-7) v (Tulsa 1-6 soon to be 1-7) should be a Classic

Wonder if any TV crews even show up. Although, it could provide content for the next football bloopers type show.
