Is not calling the Hogs' game!

But she is making the aTm/Aubbie game dang near unwatchable.

I really don't understand.  Ranked Auburn team at 6-2 and an Aggie team at 5-3 looks like a much more attractive game than most of the other SEC games this weekend and yet they give it the kiss of death 11 am gametime.

And then, as if that wasn't bad enough. they shackle them with Beth as the announcer.


Damn, that's harsh.

Any dog can be a seeing eye dog if you don't care where you're going.

Any game she is calling automatically means a total silence when it comes to audio. Listening her "call" a game is like listening a buzz saw trying to cut steel. Ugly!!!!

My wife walked in during one of BM's "moments" and asked who in the world thought that hiring her was a good idea?!?

I'm gonna follow your lead and hit the mute button.  I'm sure that's the only way you could ask such a question.

Turned the volume all the way down and turned on the closed caption, much better.

She doesn't bother me at all.

Everybody blames ESPN's woes on media dynamics, stupid Longhorn Network deal, blah, blah, blah.  Beth Mowins is the problem.
Don't be scared, be smart.

I would rather take an unmerciful arse kicking than to listen to her. She's bad. Real bad!!

I am so happy she isn't calling our game......like a finger nail on a chalk board......uuuuhhhh.

She actually knows her stuff and makes it exciting but I just hate her accent and the way she drags out some of her words. Like fingernails on a chalkboard

The Hawg Marshal

I refuse to listen to her.

The color guy isn't much better. He thought Auburn was in the East...

That woman's voice is just horrid. Hard to believe someone thought it would be a great idea to subject a viewing audience to 3 hours of it every week.

I don't think she does a bad job  calling game.  They just need to figure out how to run her voice through a sound processor so it stops sounding like fingernails on a chalkboard**.



**I realize this chalkboard reference will go right over the heads of many of the younger readers.  Trust me, it's a really, really bad sound.

My wife saw her on TV earlier and said she looks a little like Reba McEntire. I'm not sure I completely agree.

She doesn't me either. In fact, she is better than her male color counterpart. That dude guess Auburn as the answer to the last eastern team to win the SECCCG.

She isn't bad at all.

Ex-Trumpet

I guess they just hired her because she is eye candy.

She's bad.  He's worse.

She's a good announcer, but the voice is something I can't get past.   (I feel the same way about Mike Patrick, for example, and I never could stand to listen to Harry Caray.)  She has that morning-drive disc jockey's way of overenunciating everything, and the way she pronounces words like "five" and "nine" just sends me into orbit.

I agree, she is really quite competent. She simply has a husky female voice that sounds like she has her tongue sewn to the roof of her mouth. Think Jodie Foster without the looks.

If THAT'S considered "eye candy" then I suggest immediate and emergency retina replacement.  :puke:

She repeats herself too often. A good announced doesn't need to throw the se facts out.

I'm not a lesbophobe so that doesn't bother me.  She knows her stuff well enough; I just can't stand her voice.

It's the voice. Sounds like a chipmunk on helium imitating a 60's DJ.

Mac Brown is just as bad for different reasons.  Put the horns in the crapper and flushed but talks down on the playcalling.

How can someone be a good announcer yet have a terrible sounding voice?  Just doesn't add up.

hoglady

I really don't much like women calling any sporting event.
Our voices just aren't made for it.

Just like Chuck's voice was just made for baseball - Women's voice tone just isn't good no matter how competent they may be.

I've heard a few high school play-by-play announcers who are almost as bad.

No it's ESPIN doing whatever it can to drive down SEC ratings because they know they want be able to match the money of our last contract next go round.
