PPV
I am watching the game on pay per view. This may be the single worst sports telecast I've ever witnessed, Jefferson Pilot be damned.

Doesn't matter. You still have to describe it to those of us too cheap to buy it. Especially now that I know they won.
John,
Here is the best way to summarize. The commentary was bad, but only predictably bad. After all, Tim Couch was involved. Basically, it sounded like an ESPNU game. I wasn't worried about that. Graphics were about what you expect from JP/Lincoln Financial telecast. Hey, I was just happy to be able to watch the game. So that was no worries as well. Of course, it wasn't in HD. I finally had to switch to my regular TV aspect ratio becuase all the Mississippi State cheerleaders looked like cows in the 16:9. This being the SEC, I was confident that wasn't the case.
The real problem came in with the camerawork. The cameramen were faked out more effectively than a jello shot wielding sorority pledge. The fake punt? Totally off screen. Any play action pass? About 50/50 on whether the camera would stick with the quarterback. Had I not had Cassie and Ethan with me, I would have sworn they were holding the cameras. It was also one of those games where you could tell the cameras were synching with different commentary. The camera would hold a shot on a random UK assistant coach for 20 seconds and Couch and Co. would have nothing to say about him. A disaster.
All of which, of course, was made very east to swallow by the bowl clinching win. Thanks for reading, my man.
A week late, but I have been busy. I forgot to call and ask for our money back. It was bad (in so many ways).
