I have two issues with FOX

Postby gundun » Wed Dec 20, 2017 10:58 am

First, of all I live in Texas so I can't make most of the games, Therefore, I really appreciate getting to see almost every game on FOX.
My first issue with which most of you young folks might not notice is the fans' background noise, especially when playing at CC. I can barely hear the announcers above that noise. Am I the only one with this problem,

My second issue, why didn't they show the play where NM got hurt. I was watching when it happened and feared worst when he didn't walk with the rest of the team.

Finally, Merry Christmas to all and let's hope that 2018 sees #10 gets retired for Steve Thomas. BTW, he only played 76 games at X and averaged 30 points a game in 1954 without the help of the 3 point shot.

Got a chance to rewatch the game this morning and watched closely at the end of the 1st half to see how Marshall injured himself. Really nothing much to see. He wasn’t really contorted and made no contact with any other player. Looks like he just twisted himself while making the steal and flipping the ball up toward the basket. Hopefully something a day of rest and treatment will solve, but backs are funny things, so who knows. Just hope it heals fully now and doesn’t become lingering problem.

Did anyone else have a problem with the Fox feed freezing up at times?

I don't think the freezing is a FOX issue because over the weekend I watched a number of sports shows and other shows and had freezing up at times. Who is your service provider?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I'm glad the fan background noise is loud. It should be.
Mark Twain was wrong. Golf is NOT a good walk spoiled. It is a shared personal experience in a majestic wonderland guided by God, whose name is called frequently during the round.

I thought my local TWC would improve when they switched to Spectrum. There was a difference, Now it really sucks, big time. With net neutrality by the wayside I'm really concerned.

They did show the play when he got hurt. It was right at the end of the first half.

I have Spectrum in Cincinnati and I didn't have any problem with the picture freezing.

I have spectrum just across the river in NKY.

When I switched channels and switched back it was always working OK. Might be the particular box I was using?

1963-64, not 54. My freshman year was 63-64. What a show he put on all year.
