Nunes Voting/Results 10.6

Viewers were treated to 15 punts and 13 points during Fox's telecast of unranked Michigan's win over #17 Iowa Saturday. The teams also combined for 5 turnovers. Once again, there seemed to be a clear disconnect between the game being played on the field and the one the fox broadcast crew thought they were watching. I'm pretty sure I was watching a slow, grinding, early kick-off, snooze fest between two incompetent offenses for two schools that aren't going anywhere this year. The Broadcast crew must have had a replay of the Vince Young/Reggie Bush Rose Bowl playing in the booth because for reasons I still fail to comprehend, they seemed really excited about the whole affair, and enthusiastic about Michigan's Big Ten Title hopes and perhaps even playoff chances. I on the other hand came away thinking Army going to double OT in Ann Arbor wasn't all that impressive in hindsight. I get that Fox signs their checks, and they need to try to keep viewers interested, even when two crappy teams are struggling through a yawner of a game, but you can still keep your dignity. Granted, any dignity they had may have died a couple weeks ago when they described Michigan State's defense as not just the best in the country this year, but perhaps one of the greatest of all time, during MSU's loss to a then unranked non-conference opponent despite the referee's best efforts to help Sparty steal one at home.

Vote in the Comments, it's fine to be a first time voter, and it's fine if you don't consider yourself an expert, someone keeps paying Pat Forde to write a weekly national column and he's never been accused of being an expert, let alone anything less than an idiot.
