I don't know why ABC and ESPN made so many changes to their crews, but I thought some were good and some were bad.
Nessler and Griese did not need to add Paul Maguire to the mix. They were the best team and now just have an added distraction.
The crew of Musburger, Davie and Herbie were good, but I don't know what the love affair with two color guys is all about.
Patrick and Blackledge were solid last night. I really enjoy Blackledge and his commentary during games.
Sidebar hair question--who shaves it all off first? Tirico or Thulin? Thulin's mess was a wreck...almost as bad as the TBS color guy going Peter Brady the entire game.
I definitely enjoyed the addition of Doug Flutie to the ABC studio crew, dropping Aaron Taylor for him. Nice replacement.
And congrats to the GameDay experts, Corso and Herbie, for already having their national title teams at 0-1.
I would have loved to hear the way Cowherd did the ESPNU broadcast last night. Best radio talk show host on right now. But the ESPN Brady Bunch effect on ESPN2 with cameras on the game, the coaches, the quarterbacks, the hot dog vendor and the sky cam was a bit much. Too busy...and who needs to watch Bobby Bowden since he doesn't even wear a headset anyway? He coaches that team about as much as the mascot with the flaming spear.
