Once again our Jackets have been picked to lose according to CGD analysts.
Atomic is saying we will lose too........going to be a good dayOnce again our Jackets have been picked to lose according to CGD analysts.
Lou talked like that when he was at NCSt. He's forgotten more about football then anyone on that panel will ever know.
But analysis isn't what these guys are hired for. Remember when Holtz had the Coach's Corner segment where he would actually, you know, talk about football a little? They got rid of that because most of the people who watch college football want to hear that one team is better then the other, usually because they have better athletes. (Gloating over superior athletic ability makes up a large part of the usual fan's reason for watching.) So Holtz went back to being a sounding board for the other panelists. But watch: every now and then, he'll stomp all over the others when they say something that he, as a long time coach, knows doesn't make much difference. He smiles when he does it nowadays, but watch his eyes. They don't hide anything.
At least Herbstreit sounded semi knowledgeable analyzing our offense earlier in the show. Apparently he ran option in highschool. Can't remember him calling a gt game recently. Could it be we have a decent announcer today?
