Agree here as well. One of the things I feel like is a clear separation of the top announcers (and analysts) is the ability to really "call" and "analyze" the game as it is happening. Galindo and Brooks are in the shitty group and you really see it in the fact that they don't have the skill and awareness to deviate from their key storylines that they developed in their production meetings in the days before the game. Goo said it, they just keep drilling home their pre-planned points and don't even see the actual game and other storylines presenting themselves.
I think it was last year against ISU and their RB was out for the first half (Montgomery?) and all Lowell and Ahmad could talk about that first half was what a game changer he would be in the second half, look out, etc..Of course he comes in, does nothing and they can't grasp it.. Just continued talk about how he could break out at any moment.
I love to shit on Herbstreit, but he and Fowler (or Gus and Klatt) are top teams for a reason. They actually call the game, analyze and tell you why the game is shaking out how it is, all while weaving in storylines in a skillful way along with X's and O's. God forbid Ahmad and Lowell actually recognize that the Texas D was absolutely shitting the bed. Instead we get broad "Carter Stanley has moxie! He's tough! Wow!" Adds zero value. Texas fans, who are making up most of the viewers on any LHN game want to hear about Texas. Good or bad. If we are winning, gush over us. If we are sucking, talk about why. It's simple. I don't need to hear about Kansas....
