They are provided by the home team. Ours try to be impartial but many don't.

Well sec network. They are causing me to mute the audio and that includes your advertisers

Your average bejorted Florida fan off the street

would be less of a homer than these assclowns. Calling every Gator base hit with unabashed ejaculatory delight.
I'm glad they can't besmirch my real TV with their horribleness.

Discussing the possibilities, they mentioned home run and walk, actually got a 1-2-3 double play.

We have a different set of announcers than the radio. Do you think that they just double up the radio guys? It sounds like it.

They just called Starkville a beautiful city. They probably read this thread and had to make up for it somehow***

Thought y'all were exaggerating until I got home and got it turned on.
You weren't.
Getting out of that inning without scoring a single run seriously depressed them. They are terrible.

We could score 10 in an inning, and they would turn it into a positive by saying our pitcher got cold waiting so long and that a comeback was imminent.

That's right, you crow about that record attendance.
Under 7K.
Plus, the obsession with our pitch count, the outright pleading for a comeback, the obvious dejection with every double play, using the Florida coach's nickname.
I've changed my tune. This has gone from annoying to adorable.

The calls at first base could go either way when it's a MSU runner but when it's a Fla runner he was obviously safe.

They're not SECN announcers. Anything on SECN+ is a home team production. So it's not surprising the announcers are homers. Most school have homer announcers. For some reason, ours have always tried to be pretty impartial, for better or worse.

Bang-bang play. Disgression goes to the ump. I also love how they found that 3B camera angle for that call.

Bart tweeted out tonight that the SECNetwork sets guideline on what they are supposed to say and how they are supposed to act.

They can set all the "guidelines" they want. The fact is, they're still home team announcers and most of them are going to be homers to some degree. I'm not watching the game, so I don't know how bad they are, but it's going to have to be really bad for the SEC to do anything about it.

It's not that they are homers. They are just clearly impartial on analysis and reaction.

So what's the problem with them then? Original poster says they're the biggest homers he's ever seen, you say they're impartial. Whatever, huge win for the good guys tonight.

I will give them this:They were some sunshine pumping mother 17ers. They were expecting a Florida comeback the entire game. Not accustomed to such optimism lol

And you can watch the replay and judge for yourself. Don't let me stop you from resolving the debate.**

To be fair, this is probably the first loss they've called. Couldn't believe what they were seeing**

For some reason, ours have always tried to be pretty impartial, for better or worse.

The reason is Dudy Noble & more emphatically, Jack Cristil. For 50+ years we got consummate professionalism. When he did break from that, it was in lamenting State's own failures: "The Sonic drive of the game is my ride back home to Tupelo." We've grown accustomed to him, of the Vin Scully era, & the rest are ****.

I've lived, off & on, in GA most of my life. Larry Munson was not good. Yet, every inbred 17, "hobnail boot" tattoo & all, living in this state thinks he walked on water.

If I am the sec network.

I would want to appeal to as broad an audience as possible. Nobody but gators want to listen to a couple of unproffesional homers kiss UF *** all nite and they can't get more than 6K in the stadium for an all time record. I'll guarantee there was 3x more msu folks tuned in than UF and if they were like me they turned the audio off about the 4th inning including advertisers.

While crying about our pitcher throwing over to first with a big lead. Morons.

Thats interesting because up till 2 outs in the ninth they were convinced the gaytards were going to come back and predicted a rally every time they got a runner on base.

I loved how they said "if he dorsnt hit that grand slam its 5-3 in the 5th".....ummmm they clearly are too bright. There are quite a few scenarios that could have played out there. But given we had the bases loaded and no outs ill assume we get 2 runs minimum anyhow.

Could just watch the last half of the game. It got worse as the game progressed.

I live in Florida and get to hear them on the reg. You can tell how the Gatas

Biggest homers I've heard this season. I know the are gator broadcasters but aren't the supposed to have some objectivity ?

are doing by the sound of their voices as soon as you tune in. The FAU game last year was hilarious in football.
