ESPN SEC audio-visual scam

The SEC uses referee channel, then kills noise at penalties. Same noise level. Listen when referee turns mic on. Thats what we here when we watch SEC games on espn. Puppy cracked the code; 09:20PST, 10-15-2015

Hmmm. I don't entirely discount what Puppy is saying, but the Oregon games on ESPN sound pretty loud. It's not a secret that the SEC crowds are a little more rabid than the Pac 12 ones.

Couple things, frens:
1. If you're in the business of selling ad space on a TV network, and you've spent a ton of dough to carry SEC content, then it's just plain good business to give SEC viewers what they want: To look and sound like the best, and to be constantly told you're the best.
2. Puppy's right: ESPN's coverage of P12 games by and large doesn't look and sound as good as their coverage of SEC games. There definitely could be some technical factors contributing to this. But the biggest factor is that SEC games just look and sound better. With few exceptions (Autzen, occasionally HS, and maybe Rice-Eccles), P12 home crowds are flaccid and embarrassing. And with only one exception (USC), P12 marching bands are fucking awful.

The Big 10 games have a quiet, muffled sound...they sound nothing like the SEC games either.

I like LSU and Bama tomorrow. Everybody talking bout it. Everybody love it.

How's USC looking, Pup? Noticed you were silent on that thread I bumped last week...
What gives? -
Wat?puppylove_sugarsteel said:Cant even hear crowd. Just davey and Yessie. Watch a few weekends of college football for shit sakes. For most of you pussies that'll be difficult as youre all forced to walk The Hill scene during the saturday channel 7 12:30 SEC game, or the ABC 12:30 Kick, maybe the 5pm RIGGED ESPN game and the plentiful 9 am big10 yawners. But try best you can. Then come on here and we'l l talk

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. So a game on the West Coast that starts at 10:30pm on a Thursday doesn't have all the production tools that a Primetime Sat game has.
No shit. -
ESPN fucking sucks, but they cater to the demand. People in the South care and watch more college football than people living in the rest of the United States. It's the same reason why the Yankees, Red Sox, Patriots, Knicks, Lakers, and LeBron take up 90% of the air time on Sportscenter.

This thread fucking sucks. Gary Beban's sham Heisman weeps.

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. -
This thread is a black eye for Hardcore Husky, IMHO.

It is very possible ESPN does something like that, programs already do it for horse racing, crew and other sports.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:Puppy isn't off base IMO.

Is the SEC represented in the state? Why yes it is and that makes it an SEC state.puppylove_sugarsteel said:priapism said: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.
Hey Lumpy, 2/3 > 1/3. Hint: I realize florida is in the sec but 2 other majors arent, hence not an 'SEC' state butterbuttCFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
Florida is not an SEC SEC SEC SEC state?puppylove_sugarsteel said: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.
The gators disagree. -
Yup. #howitworkssalemcoog said:So a game on the West Coast that starts at 10:30pm on a Thursday doesn't have all the production tools that a Primetime Sat game has. No shit.
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.salemcoog said:Jesus Christ It's football Not a rock concert.

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.
