ESPN2 Beth Mowins

[nu2u]

I've posted my dislike for Beth Mowins for the past two years, along with the majority of others on this board. But there she is, "The Thing That Never Leaves". It's nothing personal. She's probably a very nice person. It's the twangy intonation, the grating voice, the fingernails on a chalkboard...all of that.
And if you think there is a sexy Beth, maybe we could set you up with Donatella Versace or something.

I'm just dropping a tip for the bettors out there take it or leave it. If there's cleavage, Hawks win. Thant's money in the bank. Besides, sexy is in the eye of the beer holder and she helped retire my mortgage so Erin Andrews can take a back seat as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe we could trade commentators with Rutgers for whoever is doing their game on ESPNEWS. Might just cost us a couple 2* recruits.

It's nice to know that a 12-0 regular season and being a 4th-and-2 away from playing in the College Football Playoff earns you a Beth Mowins broadcast the next year. Good Lord, when does the new TV contract start?

She did the Alabama vs FCS team game last week...

 

[oakhawk]

For the win. Enjoy.

 

[m.stoops2013]

Yeah.....forgive me you if think this is blasphemy but I can hardly stand listening to Dolph anymore.. I have been going to games for more than 25 years and listening at the same time for probably 20. Some of his play by play I have to wonder what game he is watching. It was a great move when then hired him but I would like to see him retire....

Blasphemy.

Yeah, but Iowa currently has a longer regular season winning streak than them

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

"Complete for 8 yeurds"

OK, I chuckled out loud....so COL'd. Well done!!

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

For the win. Enjoy.

If I'm over 70, she doesn't talk, I've had a few high balls, and it's late.............

Five years ago - I would have been fairly upset when learning that Fox is taking over the majority of B1G games - now I wish the contract would start sooner. Well done ESPN...well done.

I wish she did every Hawk game.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

I wish she did every Hawk fan.

FIFY

I actually kinda like her.

Me too. Really no problem with her. Maybe it is because she is a woman that so many don't like her. I think she does a pretty decent job.

No. It's because she is a shitty play by play announcer. Pam Ward sounds like Keith Jackson compared to her. Name a worse play by play announcer? ................(on television)

I can't. I don't know the names of most of them because quite frankly, I really don't pay that much attention to any of them. Usually to busy biting my nails and pacing around the living room.

 

[Eternal Return]

Fingernails on a chalk board!!

Exactly. Her voice ... it's like Chinese water torture or ceaselessly wiping your bum with sandpaper for two-plus hours. And her cadence, dear lord, everything is so forced, nothing natural about it. God help us all.

A sample from last year's Purdue game (and if you want to hear her at her worst, go to the 7:25 mark "And they'll have an Iowa team brimming with confidence." There's a part of me that dies every time I hear her voice.

 

[NashvilleHawk]

I think CJ Vandenberg and Matt Beathard are going to have great games this Saturday.

Don't forget about Terry Stross.

Where can I listen to the game on the net instead of listening to Beth Mowins?

 

[P.G.S.]

Yippie get to watch the game on MUTE this weekend!

I had to put up with her last Saturday.

I say it every year when we get a Beth Mowins game...

If you need the announcers to make watching the game enjoyable, you're paying attention to the wrong things.

How do people get away without PBP and color announcers in stadium?










By watching the action, and interpreting for themselves what's occurring on the field.

i like ed's insight, to each his own i guess.

She has done a few SC games . Not a big fan . I usually turn the mute button on the TV and listen to our radio broadcast . I feel your pain . GO HAWKS !
