Shout out to McDonough and McElroy last night

[Hold My Beer]

They were great in the booth.

I've griped about McDonough a number of times in the past, but he set aside the unnecessary grumpiness and pontificating and did a fantastic job of filling his play-by-play role.

His intro to the history of the Miami-Notre Dame series was as good — and even-handed — as it gets. If you didn't know a thing about the Canes-Irish rivalry beforehand, you were up to speed at kickoff.

McElroy was McElroy. The guy clearly loves the nuts and bolts of football. As always, he delivered his explanations and analysis concisely with no yammering or meandering off-subject like many color commentators.

A fantastic broadcast worthy of the matchup

They also called out the flag fest in the second half

 

[Canes Legacy]

They called a good game, didn’t even really think too much of it (which is a good thing)

Both wanted ND to win and favored them all night

This is absolutely not true.

McDonough is a **** anyways for the way he calls panthers games.

Friendly suggestion, if a team you are rooting for is playing on TV, turn the sound off. The TV crew is there to maximize the viewership of people who have no rooting interest in the game. Miami and ND fans were going to watch that game last night even if Rocky & Bullwinkle were calling the game last night.

They want to keep that viewership and will constantly remind how the team behind "has a chance" and will bring in the human interest stories (Carr and his Mom) to pull at the heartstrings. It may appear like favoritism, but they just want eyes watching.

That being said, McDonough has often given the vibe like he wants to be anywhere else. Glad to hear he was happy to be somewhere for once.

Just woke up, will have to watch the tape, but finding this thread hard to believe

 

[YLCANE]

Eh
Not sure what telecast you listened to. The whole f ing narrative on every play was what ND must do can do try to do on every play. As if Miami was just there to be an opponent.

McDonut at least half *** called out the refs…
McIlroy hates Miami imo

I’m not a fan of this crew but to each his own, I heard it much differently

Is there a full game copy online yet?

LOL - McElroy was one of the first media guys to get behind Miami this summer

Our fans need to understand - announcers want a close game ..... it is how they earn their stripes

I am convinced if Jimmy Johnson and the playmaker called the game our fans would complain that they were rooting against Miami

Did you watch the game with sound? Or lack there of it when we made a big play?

 

[skydogcane6]

You guys are worried about the wrong duo. Molly McG and Taylor Mac are ELITE

 

[dycane]

This is absolutely not true.

They were very good and objective. And contrary to what people have said on here for years, they are always that way. McElroy is one of the smartest in the business and takes his job seriously.

 

[atlcane1030]

I can’t understand how anyone could listen to that broadcast and assert that it was anything but a three hour long celebration of ND.

 

[BLIMPTOWN]

That's why I watched the Skycast version

 

[JG14]

Verne Lundquist said he knew he did a good job if both teams fans were upset with him after a game. I didn't see many issues last night

 

[Hold My Beer]

Friendly suggestion ...

A friendly suggestion at CanesInsight?

 

[nycane]

yes it seemed they were promoting ND but they called out the horrible refs on every bad call. they knew what was going on.
