CBS>>>> ESPN

[David Rice]

That is all.

 

[senonesy]

Not even close

 

[Baller Cal]

Better to watch a game, but it always seems like CBS likes to keep CBB games close.

 

[RACdad]

100%!!! I hate the extra crap ESPN throws in a game

 

[Louis_Skunt]

Whoever doesn't use those stupid camera angles from center court on a key possession.

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

The graphics people kept highlighting the fact the Aub hadn't won in Rupp since 1988. It was like they were trying to set up a story line if AU won. Irritating.

 

[Bigblueamyou]

That is all.

Night and day

 

[HenryMuto]

That is all.

You mean you didn't miss the split screen coach on the sideline or an interview with a coach in the stands ?

 

[Moss04]

I, for one, prefer watching free throws from behind and below the basket. It’s nice to have not see the basketball during critical parts of the game.

 

[rick64]

No split screens, no endless shots and commentary on coaches fashion statement, no bracket guru chat during live action. That’s how you do it.

 

[MychalG]

Very refreshing to listen to professional announcers call a game instead of the clowns that ESPN throws out there..

 

[Catluv]

They flashed Bruce once and clicked right back on game. I was about getting ready to go off!

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Well at least with CBS the game isn’t just a sideshow to the coaches and announcers.

 

[gwjenning]

Did one of the announcers talk about EJ’s father being a bootlegger?

 

[KyCatFan1]

Only negative is it seems like commercial breaks are longer on CBS (might just be a figment of my imagination). It also didn't take long to get "a tradition like no other, The Masters" commercial on there that they show nonstop throughout March.

 

[ThePrinceIsKing]

Always love playing on cbs. Reminds me of March madness and seems like we win more often. Plus announcers are so much better imo

 

[SpamburgerHamburger_rivals101482]

I used to hate CBS compared to ESPN. Took commercials every 30 second timeout and no replays and just total focus on nothing but getting as many commercials in as possible. But ESPN sucking much more lately.

Are you drunk right now? Usually you're coming to the defense of ESPN and only complaining about those who complain.

 

[podgejeff_]

I generally agree. Ian Eagle is great.

But man I am not a fan of Bill Raftery.

 

[David Rice]

Bump because it's been a years and still true.

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

CBS is a far superior production overall than ESPN in so many ways. Plus, watching the Cats on CBS always has that big game, March Madness like feel about them. Had enough of ESPN's ****** productions, sideshows and troll announcers. Wish SEC still had some of their big games on CBS throughout the season. Same for the big SEC Football games being gone.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

I said last year I was really going to miss playing on CBS. The production, the intro, all of it, just feels bigger and better.

Now all we get is
1) However many NCAA Tournament games we play.
2) CBS classic will end when this contract is up from what I've heard.

Maybe in the future we schedule some out of conference road games that will be on CBS.

I don't see ESPN letting go of the SEC contract anytime soon so this is the way it will be for a long time.

 

[Seth_C]

A firm kick to the groin is better than espn.

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

Mercy. A couple days after this thread UK completely fell apart on senior night against a terrible UT team. Hagans pretty much got kicked off the team and then they had a miracle comeback against Florida in Gainesville.

Then Covid happened.

Dude bumped his own post from five years ago. Hats off to you.

 

[ukwazoo]

I agree btw

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Probably why ESPN hates us and props up Duke a lot. Duke is an ESPN product, we’re a CBS product, just my guess.

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

Definitely. Everything about CBS sports is better than ESPN.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

A turd sandwich (or giant douche) is better than ESPN

 

[whack0001]

Damn I didn’t even realize we haven’t had a game on CBS this year. I love CBS games.

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

Wish Fox Sorts would have gotten the SEC games

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

Another ESPN failure with this screw up cutting away from live game action.

 

[UKAlum84]

This is crazy, no game on national tv for at least 10 minutes straight. Im refreshing espn to see what is going on.

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

I have never seen an outage like this take that long in a game. ESPN is hot f****** garbage!!
