I just want someone to know about how BAD the commentators are on the BTN during the Michigan/UMASS game. We had to turn off the sound on the TV and turn on the radio because of the terrible play by play. I don’t want to see interviews with people on the sidelines when I’m trying to watch what is happening on the field. The commentators need to learn how to tell viewers what is happening on the plays and who is making the plays.
