My sentiment exactly. There aren't too many choices after the ESPN/ABC duopoly. I can't stand a single broadcast FOX does, from the sound effects to their obtrusive scoreboard/gametracker to the announcers, everything about FOX blows.
I guess that's a credit to the greatness of this past years ALCS between the Yankees and BoSox. FOX brought out everything in their arsenal to try and destroy that series, from Tim McCarver to Jeannie Zelasko to Scooter the talking baseball to the obscenely inappropriate dialogue regarding Mariano Rivera's personal tragedy. Hell, even the guys in the production truck for the games got their licks in by playing the first few bars of "Superman's Dead" by Our Lady Peace while going away to commercial in the 1st half-inning of Game 1, despite the fact Christopher Reeve passed away the day before.
God forbid FOX ever gets rights to college football.
