I thought the same thing as I was watching

"that was clearly over the back" is one quote I remember

That and "he got away with a walk" which was shortly after "I didn't see him walk" (separate plays). And when Craft jumped into the Michigan defender and didn't get a call, Bilas was as incredulous as Craft.

I watch about 25% of the games I used to, and I watch 99% of those games with the sound way way down. Both of those are directly influenced by the quality of the announcing.

Bilas may not have been correct in all situations last night, but he certainly was correct that there were several instances were fouls were not called when they should have been.

I didn't watch the whole game, so it's possible. The plays I saw, however, looked absolutely correct. The late play by Craft was the prime example.

I'm probably at about 10%, and normally have it low enough that it doesn't bug the family. I was alone with this one. Won't do that again.

I treat it just like I'm working a game. The volume is at the normal level because the reaction of the crowd adds to the game but I tune out the stupid stuff that comes with it.

Is that a paradox or an oxymoron?

No.

Can't stand Bilas in particular or most announcers in general. For some reason I do enjoy when Knight and Musberger announce though. Maybe because it seems Knight talks more about the players and what they did right/wrong.
