I was at the game cheering my head off for ISU, but for those who watched on TV how was the broadcast? I would've liked to hear Griese and Spielman and was just curious if they were fair and complimentary being Big 10 homers. Great game to be at and ISU has really elevated their level of play.
ABC Broadcast for ISU-Neb game

I'd have to say they were quite fair. I suppose there was a bit more talk about Nebraska....which is understandable given they were #7, but overall they were quite fair and quite complimentary.
Disagree. They dissed Arnaud constantly, and kept waiting for the NU big plays. besides the pick 6, it never happened.
I thought they were really good. Even handed. Lot's of times seems like you have Top 20 homers doing these broadcasts, but these guys were really fair to ISU.
Of course we gave them a heck of a game to watch!
The Pelini interview at half time was awesome. The guy came off as a complete dusche.:twitcy:

They were fair, especially Spielman who has become one of the best color analysts in the game. Greise just needs to retire. There were so many inaccuracies in what he was saying, it was clear he's not quite all there anymore.
They were fair, but pretty uninspired. Seemed like they'd rather be somewhere else for much of the game. Seemed to get into it towards the end of the game.
My favorite moment was when Helu fumbled and they were too busy talking about his highlight reel from last week to notice.
Also a classic moment when Bob Griese was asked how ISU could slow down Nebraska's rushing offense. And his response, "Nebraksa just needs to keep pounding the football and wear ISU down." Then Speilman had to jump in to answer the question. I'm not sure how well Griese can hear anymore.
Too me it seemed like they mostly talked about Nebraska with a smattering of "nice" complements about ISU. Basically the typical commentary when a top 10 is expected to roll an underling. I don't think they really got interested until the 4th quarter when it was obvious that this thing was going down to the wire.

I thought the announcers did a good job. They REALLY talked up CPR which I thought was excellent, especially for recruiting purposes.
Let's be honest. The only reason that game was on TV was for Nebraska. So yes, they are going to lean a bit that way. Once we earn it, we'll get the same treatment. Won't that be nice? Woot woot!
GO STATE!!!

I don't know I got this feeling, Helu is just gonna bust one. We saw it all last week, just sometime in here he is really gonna break one.....
