Wow...incredible rise for that young man.....Everyone starts somewhere.....good luck Jac!
As long as the name is not Doug Flutie I am good.
I hear you. I’m willing to give Jac a chance, but disappointed to lose Torico.
This is brutal. Another reason why I hope we switch to cbs.
They treat us like the minor leagues with these announcers. Flutie, Brees, Collinsworth, Garrett really nbc that's the best you can do

It was inevitable that when the Sunday night NFL job opened up, Tirico would be moving on to that. I like Jac, although he's obviously not very experienced. Hope he and Garrett do a great job.
I'm not a fan but hes way better than Garrett. Cbs has a lot of people they can get to do the games
I've never heard Garrett call a game. But he'd have to be really bad to be worse than Danielson. Danielson has become an SEC (especially Alabama) homer after doing their games all these years.
No on the wiggle room. CBS paid the Big Ten for a specific time slot. I don't see CBS paying that much money and then skipping a couple of weeks of Big Ten games. NBC will be Big Ten in prime time and CBS will be the 3:30 slot.
There's always Amazon Prime.
I believe the feeling is having homer broadcasters, like we have with radio, is considered bush league on network TV. CBS came closest to having homer announcers when it had an SEC vs non-SEC team; which was pretty damned annoying from my perspective.
NBC must really feel they're overpaying for ND football when you consider the announcing teams they always come up with. It's like the Fox "C" team for their NFL weekends. They probably told Tirico "Don't worry Mike, you won't be on this job for long" when they presented it to him.

CBS has the biggest homer in the profession when it comes to Danielson & the SEC. And yes, it’s as annoying as it gets.

This is why I hate NBC, they don’t really give a shit about ND football IMO. Nothing personal against these two but they have no business calling ND games.Jason Garrett, Jac Collinsworth are NBC’s new Notre Dame football broadcast team

I wish MD would sign with Fox, or CBS.
It’s a shame right? I’ll be honest, I haven’t liked NBC broadcast of Notre Dame football in a long, long time. It always seems flat and kind of boring. It’s like they’re doing a golf match.
I have three close friends that share my passion for Notre Dame football and we’re in a group text thread together. Not a single one of us likes NBC or has for a long time.
They treat Notre Dame like its not important to them
What a joke. Garret is boring and dry as they come. Jac is riding daddy's coat tails. In fact I cant stand Chris C., quite an annoying announcer. These are terrible hires
Seems like you would give the best for a team your paying 70ml for only home games.
I like Jack and believe he will be a good play by play but it does feel like ND is getting the scraps. Pretty low budget if you ask me.
