Puppy isn't off base IMO. The Vikings and Falcons have admitted to pipe in crowd noise. It wouldn't be shocking if the Seahawks did, but I've been to a few games when the crowd was into it...it's not neccesary. ESPN is above them?
I'll give the NASCAR dad SEC types credit for showing up with their Copenhagen and Confederate flags in big stadiums. There aint nothing better to do but go to football games if u get all the possum roadkill ready for stew by Saturday. Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, and LSU all have over 85,000 capacity. aTm and USC East are both around 80,000. They show up. Pac 12 teams aren't even close.

Yeah, the SEC crowds always seem to have a mic on them and a DJ playing with that crowd volume. A few of the biggest ACC games have been like this as well. There's what 50,000 Kentucky fans out there at best? Yeah...they're not going to be as loud without ESPN pushing that mic volume up.
Puppy been following this ESPN-SEC courtesy reach-around for some time, but felt necessary to finally bring it to the table. Mostly because there's a prime example unfolding right before our pac12 eyes and ears.
ESPN pushes SEC crowd, band noise, along with the best lighting, videography, best angles, closeups etc...
The audio between espn pac12 games and SEC games is night and fucking day. Even the same time slots are strikingly different between both conferences.
The crowd-band audio is so obviously different. Pay attention you deaf blind fuckers, you'll notice. I get prime time vs 7:30, but even if times were flipflopped, the SEC game would have massive audio-visual ESECPN advantage @7:30 too. The band mic is as loud as pumped up crowd mic. Crowd mic is laughably enhanced.
listen-watch kentucky/auburn and stanford-ucla. Anything to give the SEC an advantage. Same people already led dipshits like purple to believe that the SEC has better players, better defenses, better stadiums, better tailgates, better conferences, better recruits (even though best players come from florida (not a SEC state), texas and California).
Oh, unranked and hapless Auburn will jump back in to top 20 with a hard faught win over the Kentucky hoops team. Just watch.
Florida is not an SEC SEC SEC SEC state?
The gators disagree.
Hey Lumpy, 2/3 > 1/3. Hint: I realize florida is in the sec but 2 other majors arent, hence not an 'SEC' state butterbutt
Is the SEC represented in the state? Why yes it is and that makes it an SEC state.
Jesus Christ It's football Not a rock concert. Who gives a fuck about whether the refs mics are mixed or whether you can hear the fuckin band.
I actually disagree with this part. The marching bands, the cheerleaders, the student sections...This is the stuff that separates CFB from the sterile homogeneity of the NFL.
I'd love it if more effort was invested into these production values in coverage of P12 games. But no amount of that shit is going to make UCLA-Stanford look and sound like Bammer-LSU.
