This may sound like sour grapes since I’m in a foul mood from the Aggie loss, but I feel I must publicly criticize CBS for its broadcast coverage of this game today.
In the Dallas market, no other game is as important as the LSU vs. Texas A&M game due to its regional interest. And yet, CBS inconsiderately shifted the broadcast to other games that we’re nearing their conclusions. Unfortunately, they did a very poor job of resetting the situation when they returned to the A&M game.
For instance, Acie Law picked up a second foul early in the first half while we were away, but that important detail was not communicated to us viewers. That’s a critical strategic development in a game of this magnitude.
In past years, I recall them going to a picture-in-picture approach where both games could be monitored. Apparently that technology has been lost this year as they are making the hard-switch to the other game.
So CBS…thumbs down to you!
