Remember how everyone hated Mark Jones calling the Colorado game last week…

Guess who is going to be on the call in Tempe late Saturday night

He's a Canadian so...

***So I guess the local police won't have to escort the ESPN commentators to the game***

Remember the time in your life that if state had played at 9:30 PM your thought process would have been “awesome, I can just stay at home and watch that. I will just go out after it is over” instead of “dear god why is it on so late”

As long as its not Beth Moans or Dave Neil, I am good.

Dave Neal hater? I actually really like Dave and think he’s been criminally underused in the SEC Network era compared to some others who are worse but get higher profile games.

Mark Jones has gotten ridiculous by throwing out big words either to entertain himself or to act like he's a scholar. He did it a LOT last week. Here's a tip for you Mark, you are commentating a caveman sport and I can guarantee you that NOBODY watching the broadcast has a dictionary or thesaurus next to them to look up the stupid words you are spewing.

Reading an article in the Athletic and thought you might get a kick out of this. I had to laugh.

Thursday night lowlight

Not only did ESPN play-by-play man Mark Jones’ prerecorded “Ode To The Big 12” video essay call into question whether the very invention of the thesaurus was a mistake, it ran well into the start of a North Dakota State offensive drive.

Mark Jones always calls them "Mississippi". He's okay in my book.

It strikes me as some sort of a bad impression of Dennis Miller doing MNF.
