That ESPN+ Crew...

[Son of Spiriki]

...made me miss the professionals at Stadium.

What a brutally amateurish production.

[Green Crazy]

Last week's sucked too.  I don't remember + being so bad.

[Green Otaku]

+ is just the local stadium feed IIRC. Did Stadium bring their own camera crews for streams?

[AleAlejandro21]

It’s ran by students at the home team’s schools.

+ varies a lot. Many places it is controlled but the home school,  but but not all. And the school's level of spending also varies as some schools bring in a professional crew and truck while others use all students with a church broadcast level of equipment.

Yes, stadium treated games like an actual broadcast and brought in their own broadcast and technical crews... It was a better product then ESPN+/3 almost every time.

The announcers this week were not very good ... but they were MUCH better than the guys last week.

I always just turn that off and listen to Hank and Dave instead.

How to you get it to sync up to the Dave is calling what you see on the screen?

[Mike Jackson]

Man it was ridiculous how many times they got the down and distance wrong.   What strange combination of play and penalties gets you 1st & 9?  🤣

[MeanGreenZen]

I thought they were very good. Obviously they were pro-La Tech, but mostly fair and balanced. The play by play guy sounded just like Brad Sham.

My wife thought it was a HS game before she realized in was NT...

When I sync football games to radio, I pause the TV right after the ball is kicked on the opening kickoff and unpause when the radio catches up to that moment.

Stadium picture quality was great and it was literally BROADCAST to my 65" TV w/o having to mess with browser logins, apps, etc. and almost everyone on here complained about it.  ESPN+: Football brought to you by Disneyland.

I don't remember Stadium games with great picture quality. The network is so small time they carry games of seven-man flag football where the only people in the stands are the players' moms.

I do occasionally watch those games, of course. But only because I bet on them.

It felt like we were back in CUSA....and not in a good way.

I didn’t think they were horrible, now the cameraman and whoever controlled the tv graphics….. that is a different story.

The color guy was fine but the main guy was absolutely terrible. He talked about bullshit constantly. He even talked over touchdown plays.

Lyn Rollins was way more excited about La Tech forming public-private partnerships with the business community than the game he was watching. I've never heard that kind of academic tedium in a football game that wasn't a blowout.

Dang I didn’t even see that one and I criticized the down and distance errors.   And I would never have even exaggerated using 0th and Goal as fake example.  Wow  😂

Well I know all about the retiring La Tech Presidents tenure.  If I am into La Tech academics I am thrilled.  I was looking in the crowd to find the students with body paint spelling our Fortune 500 Partnerships.   I didn't see any.  Odd 🤷🏽‍♂️. 😂

Despite the garbage broadcasts the last 2 weeks, I’m still glad all our games are on ESPN+.
CUSA doesn’t require teams to meet certain broadcast standards like the AAC does. Production quality should be much better the rest of the season.
