Helloooooo, the game's still going on. How about covering it, instead of having a conversation about the league, etc.?? We don't watch to hear some random discussion!!

The whole production is amateurish. Malanowski has not improved over the years, the audio is uneven, the camera operators don't know what they are doing. Colgate can and should do better. Recruits are watching!

I agree 100%. I have always wondered why our football broadcasts are so bush. Hockey is generally good, but football and basketball with EM are really amateurish...
Time to audition some new talent...

The student broadcasters were far better than these announcers.

Directing/Producing the game -- The Future, 09/13/15 11:06:44am Sun
If you have two cameras, have one as the wide.
Use that almost all of the time.
Your second camera is your close-up.
Start the play in the wide.
Have the wide follow the play.
Have the tight follow the play.
Cut to the tight as the players are getting up/coming back to the huddle.
Reframe the wide on the line of scrimmage when you are in the tight.
Cut to the wide when the player who made the play is back to the line of scrimmage.
Reframe the tight on the QB or an inside linebacker who is calling out assignments (depending on camera position) for the pre-snap reads.
Cut to a tight.
Cut back to the wide with enough time before the play for viewers to see the formation/coverage.
Stay on the wide for the play.
Go back to the tight as players are getting up.
Repeat.
This will give you the action of the play and the emotion of the players without asking very much of your camera operators.
As for producing the video broadcast, have someone watching the feed and adjust as you go. If someone can't be heard, move the microphone or get another microphone. If the commercials are twice as loud as the broadcast, adjust the levels. I understand that much of this is done on not much of a budget, but not fixing simple problems broadcast after broadcast amounts to nothing more than laziness/not expecting much of yourself.
As for the 15 minute interview with a Colgate legend during the middle of the broadcast, all I could think watching the video feed was that the people listening on the radio must have been losing their minds.

The broadcast was weak at best. Made me dream of yesteryear....back in the day....when Doug Rosnick was doing the color. Entertaining stuff. Is Rosnick available or has he got a real job?

Mike Getman was the only good thing about the broadcast. Seems intelligent and keeps his comments short and to the point. EM is not as bad as we think, needs to be on a live Mike. Since Norwich is the only "big" city near Hammy, we can't expect a Jim Nance type guy in the booth. I guess after many years of listening to EM I've been brainwashed.

I actually think EM typically does a good job. It's just apparent that no one really cares about the video broadcast--including whether you can hear both him and whoever is doing color. Thought Getman was great. Who is he? He was obviously rooting for Colgate but was also honest about what he was seeing. Called out the good plays for each team and also was quick to point out where Colgate was lacking. Didn't use a single cliche--which is pretty unusual for broadcasters at this level.

Mike Getman -- 'gate80, 09/13/15 7:37:24pm Sun
Mike Getman was a classmate and fellow dorm-mate (West Hall) of mine. He was also starting tight end and played a key role in some of the biggest victories of my college days. Then as now, Mike was intelligent, perceptive, soft-spoken, kind, and a nice guy. Several of the football players in my class fit that description, including co-captains John Marzo and Angelo Colisimo, who are now well-known academic surgeons. Thank God George and Agnes Langdon were around to rid us of the dumb jock image a couple of years after Mike graduated, by downgrading fb and instituting recruiting restrictions including the AI!
