RecHall 30 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Short finds a way to lose, as always. This announcer is total garbage. Never seen someone more biased in my life It's the Penn State home announcer. What more do you expect. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 I get the excitement for Penn State points but this degree of bias is too far. Takes away from Penn State a bit when you complain so much that it isn't fair. (When it is). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 MN - Wanzek? Never heard of him. Ranked 17 too. Guess I need to pay more attention. I thought Hammond would be ranked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonBryant 2,064 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 I wonder if anyone complaining about Byers' broadcasting has ever listened to the radio for any college sports from an opposing team's call? What Byers is doing is essentially the norm when you're the "home" broadcaster. BTN2Go is taking the PSU radio feed, like they do a lot of the times. The radio broadcast is for Penn State and the ads on the radio call are Penn State-centric. Shouldn't be surprised by the pro-PSU angle, that's his job.

nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 huh, announcer actually called Wanzek's double TD 'nice' and just called his single leg TD 'nice' as well. 4-2 Wanzek on feet at end of 1st. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pm-01 25 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 It's the Penn State home announcer. What more do you expect. . Accurate announcing not lies. If you're listening on a PSU radio you'd have a totally inaccurate feeling of how the meet has gone so far. 1 krippler reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homerism is one thing, but this guy is over the top and reporting inaccurately. Chewing the ref to this extent is also ugly. I'm pretty sure Ironside isn't this thick.

nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks Jason -- that is fair but the whining and complaining is tiring. Hammond rides too high, Wanzek out back door. 6-2. Hammond in on single. W with good hips. Stalemate. 6-3 going into third. Hammond down .. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd be doing the station and a fanbase a disservice if he altered his normal home calls because the stream is being picked up by someone else. His responsibility, first and foremost, is the radio station, not us on the boards or anyone else listening or watching. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Hammond in on shot. OOB after some scrable. Thought Hammond had it. Pretty crazy that with 2 TDs and a Reversal for Wanzek .... and 0 TD/reversal for Hammond, that all Hammond needs is a TD to tie it. W goes in and gets the TD to seal it. 9-4 with RT?

nom 1,183 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Hey TBar -- do you think this guy is going too far in his bias? JB - I'm guessing even Penn State fans think he's a bit over the top in his bias. Me relying on TBar to make the call is likely foolish but who knows!
