Don't count chickens.Good product so far. Love hearing the coaches in real time. The total was a ridiculously low 38.5 on FD. 14 points were scored in the first four minutes.
I agree, I think Fox is trying to do a bit too much with the audio. I can see the potential though -- hearing the coaches react to the other teams' alignment pre snap is pretty cool.Unfortunately whatshisface keeps talking over the coaches. What's the point of micing up the coaches if your announcers are going to talk over them?
Yeah Klatt did a noble job filling us all in on who was playing and their backgrounds. He was very well-prepared.I agree, I think Fox is trying to do a bit too much with the audio. I can see the potential though -- hearing the coaches react to the other teams' alignment pre snap is pretty cool.
I actually think Klatt is doing a good job though, especially when it comes to treating the players like former college stars (when applicable) rather than just no-name pros.
Easily the lamest part about it.I fear what will ultimately doom this version of the USFL is that all the games are in one stadium.
FYI. Fox Bet was the first to market on 4/8 and each total opened in the 50’s. Tonight’s game was 55.5 and still 43.5 as recent as yesterday morning.Good product so far.

For clarification, they are not playing in one stadium. Yes, they are playing in one city, but the games are being spread across Protective Stadium and Legion Field - two different sites.I fear what will ultimately doom this version of the USFL is that all the games are in one stadium.
You're correct. My bad.For clarification, they are not playing in one stadium. Yes, they are playing in one city, but the games are being spread across Protective Stadium and Legion Field - two different sites.
Of course, weather for one is weather for the other, but riboflav's characterization is wrong.
apparently the sensors to help with measurements in each end of the ball are the size of golf balls, which is why the place kicking has been so miserable (normally the easiest position to fill in these leagues). I wonder if it’s also impacting the quarterbacks throwing deep.The biggest or most glaring difference between the NFL and the USFL (besides lack of size) seemed to be QB arm strength. Receivers got a step or two beyond the defensive backfield with regularity and the QBs couldn't reach them. Several under thrown balls.
