Here's a hint. Texas plays at a fast pace.

So, STFU ALREADY AND SHOW THE GAME IN REAL TIME!

I'm getting REALLY sick and tired of seeing just the second half of
every freaking play.

No kidding! How f'ing hard is it to keep a camera trained on the
ball?!?! ABC screws this up too, just not as much as Fox.

Heh. I noticed that too....and to make matters worse Baylor's stadium
must not have the most ideal camera platforms or it must be impossible
to have sideline cameras... because it almost feels like you're in the
stadium watching the game from the upper deck. I noticed this in the
Nebraska game down there a few weeks ago. Sort of like watching a
basketball game at the old Iba arena in Stillwater..felt like watching
the game from the rafters.

It's FSN. They only take about three cameras to the game
in the first place.

yeh, I feel the same way when I watch Oregon play. They've either got
to go to a pre-taped interview or a slo-mo replay of the last play,
all the while the TB or QB is running 5 yards past the line of
scrimmage already.

Which also makes replay basically useless.

It must just be the way that Fox takes the cameras (and how few they
have). There's plenty of room for sideline cameras. Not sure about
higher sight lines, but can't see why they'd be a problem. There's
really just not much there to get in the way.

I've never seen anything as bad as the old OSU place. It was almost
impossible to watch anything broadcast from there.

I just couldn't watch TV games at OSU before they got their new
arena...I'd watch when the Huskers were there, but it always made me a
bit dizzy.
