I'm glad the game is on Fox. ESPN was practically exploiting the children with their coverage of the wave. If you want to cover it make it about the kids and actually interview the families instead of throwing a mike in their face. I really hope most of the remaining games are on BTN

Aaron Goldsmith is a really, really good baseball announcer. He doesn't do a lot of football, but he has a great voice and will do a good job Saturday.

Brady Quinn is a star in the making. Will be a good team to listen to.

I'm not following what it is you want to see happen. Make it about the kids, interview their family, but don't shove a mic in their face? I really don't know what you want.

How 'bout Booger McFarland?

 

[IC Hawks]

Quinn's sister is married to a Hawk.

The more you know ...

I wonder if she's related to mob boss John Sacramone, alias Johnny Sac.

Aaron Goldsmith is a poor mans Beth Mowins.

Nice try, and I chuckled, but way off. He is a really good announcer and a Midwest guy who will do great.

As a journalist or reporter you need to make an effort to tell a story instead of just shoving a mic in a kid's face and hoping for a sound bite. It was that ESPN cared about a fad not about the kids. There should have been some research and preparation because it came off as pimping sick kids for ratings. There was no finesse or real empathy for the kids or the parents in ESPNs reporting.

Did you see the fantastic article on ESPN.com regarding the Children's Hospital and the new tradition? Interviewed multiple families and went deep into some of the children's conditions. Did you expect them to play in-depth interviews in between the 1st and 2nd quarters? Not sure they invited people to read the article during that short period; that would have been a good thing to do. Just don't blame ESPN for not presenting this professionally. Saying that they are "exploiting kids" is poor taste and just shows you had a problem with ESPN well before this.

I haven't the article on Espn yet. I'm not biased towards ESPN I just don't understand the need to shove a mic in a kids face. Why even interview the kids at all as a sideline reporter. They are kids not athletes or coaches and it came across as very disingenuous and poor coverage from a journalistic perspective. We need to let kids be kids and not throw them in the spotlight for ratings.

Brady Quinn was a quarterback for the Browns after ND and married the sister of Iowa's star defensive player and bounced around the NFL a little before becoming a sportscaster. Will be interesting to hear his comments on our QB, since he has to be familiar with our program.

Brady does a good job but whenever I've heard him the only thing he talks about is the Offense

If they hadn't shown the kids you'd be birching about the lack of coverage.

Yeah, every kid I've ever met just hates being in the spotlight and seeing themselves on TV.

Like someone else pointed out, if they didn't do those on-the-spot interviews, you (and others) would be complaining that they should do something like that. I really don't get it. The response to "the wave" has been overwhelmingly positive from everyone across the country. The only people making any kind of complaints about it are Iowa fans.
