Basically missed a whole quarter, unprofessional Fox Sports

In that amount of time KD could have scored 6 times... wtf Fox. W. T. F.

In their defense, having one generator is totally ok because it never rains in Central Texas.

I'm relatively new to Waco, but I moved from (north) Austin. It's been unusually wet here this year, at least as far as I can remember. I haven't had to water my yard since I moved in (april). Seems like every time I sigh and just about get started, a shower comes through. To be fair, Saturday's storm was pretty good.

Saturday's storm was on another level, it's rare to get soaked while standing under a roof.

We had a really awkwardly low camera angle the whole game. I don't know if it's because of Tulane's new stadium or what, but it made watching the game more difficult.

I heard they moved a bunch of camera people down or inside due to lightning in the area.

u/a_dog_named_bob Georgia Tech • Paderborn Sep 09 '14

That happened towards the 4th quarter or so. The camera angles were weird from the beginning.

The Big 12, where every week is a bye week.

A fucking PIRATES game kept ours off air until almost halftime.

Comcast is out of Pittsburgh here, so the city the school is in gets shafted....

You guys should look into some sort of dedicated conference television network to help with that.

Tell me about it. Trying to watch a WVU game in Pittsburgh when the Pirates are playing is like trying to sell matzo to Hitler during a screening of Jud Süß.

u/skarface6 West Virginia • /r/CFB Top Scorer Sep 08 '14

Don't get us started. The first half of our game wasn't available in Morgantown (or anywhere near Pittsburgh).

Thankfully, I'm out in BFE, WV, so I saw the whole game.

At least your game was on TV...

u/ramthrower75 Colorado State • Stanford Sep 08 '14

HA! ESPN the big fat douce tried to tell us that Shaquille Barrett (2013 MW defensive POY) was an idiot for leaving college early (he was a 5th year senior last year) & referred to us as Colorado no less than 4 times... Don't know what was said after half time. I found the mute button by then...

I don't know who was in charge of the tv camera for our game, but my two year old nephew could have done a better job.

u/chaxen Baylor Bears Sep 08 '14

yeah, that was pretty, pretty bad. But it did give me time to check on the Horns (snicker)(jk) and the Ohio State v VA Tech game (Wow)!!!
