If it's in an effort relate to men, and garner more respect, it's a miserable failure. I hate women commentators for this reason. It's distracting and annoying.

See Tenn vs Ole Miss game for the example.

There are 0 women commentators that i enjoy listening to. All of them are just horrible. When we played Bama earlier this year they had 2 women doing the broadcast and I had to mute the television it was so bad.

She's just horrible. Her voice annoys me for the most part.

Exactly. They just sound like they're trying so hard to be accepted.

Technically, that's your problem and not hers.

Has she said or analyzed anything thats not up to par?

Thought not. she knows the game.

IMO if notice the commentators it's not a good thing. I don't even notice them unless they're bad.

Like Jimmy Dykes....

Just throwin it out there... But the low octave of their voices might have some sort of correlation with their sexual orientation. Zing. /thread
