Gawd the Fox Sports announcers are awful
It was painful to listen to the UCLA/Utah game.
People that complain about Musberger and Lundquist should catch one FS1 game for comparison.

The commentators babbled on about pointless things, including about a dozen mentions of the Utah student section, and made no mention of some things that good announcers ought to talk about, e.g., UCLA forcing 3 turnovers in the 3rd quarter (all INTs) but somehow only managing 3 points in the quarter.
Definitely a work in progress. Fox has apparently decided that their A-team only does the Saturday games on Fox broadcast, so they're going to need to develop a deeper bench now that they have so many FB and BB games on FS1.
Another thing that would help them is to keep their announcing teams together so that they get comfortable working with each other.

Mussberger acts like each play is the moon landing. ABC goes to commercial every two seconds. Constant stats and missing plays because they always go over on some meaningless interview during the game.

The best station to watch a game is TBS.
