There was only piggybacking because of the sane media bias. BYU went in as the better program regardless of what espn thought

I was pretty much fine with it until the 4th Quarter when they started going on

There was national attention everywhere on how bad the commentators were

Weird, but more and more i enjoy hearing BYU on the short end of the commentary. I like being able to disprove doubters

There was also an LV Bowl where ESPN also spent an entire quarter talking to Ryan Leaf.

That wasn’t extreme bias though

We can't be piggybacking off Deion's publicity and then complain about it.

Just because we're the better program doesn't mean people will pay attn to us.

Also doesn’t mean we piggybacked anything

Except Deion's brand

You have to look at the demographics— when viewership data comes out, I bet we

I agree with you for once.

I enjoy ridiculous lack of professionalism too. Kind of like a blooper video

This is what BYU did to CU fans with the help of the CU slanted announcers…

I would've been alot more bothered had the score been reversed.

I watched the actual plays and read CB. Didn't pay much attention to it.

Reading CB during a game is worse than anything else.

I barely listened. Just heard the part where the announcers complained that they

Then they asked the rules expert who said it's not a penalty.

It was very predictable they'd do it and it was silly. It's also funny how victimized people feel over it.

Unbiased people nationally felt the same as byu fans

I wasn't bothered at all. If anything, I just thought it was funny

I was less annoyed because we were winning. If it was tight or we were losing,

It didn’t bother me because I was too happy with what was happening on the field

I honestly didn’t even notice. I’ve noticed in other games but it didn’t seem

It’s a short term strategy. Long term people want impartial announcers.

turned the tv down, listened to Wrubell and Hans threough the BYU Radio app

So you anticipated a lack of professionalism. Doesn’t make it less

BYU '80

It's been said before, but I, too, just listen to Wrubell.
