That is BS.


It's not BS at all. It's 100% correct.

ESPN/SEC Network contract out a production truck that supplies enough cameras, audio equipment, replay systems, and a director and operators for said replay, audio, and camera equipment. Some trucks are really big, some aren't very big. Television networks make the vast amount of their money from advertising. Apparently this thursday game wasn't worth it from a money stand point for ESPN to send out a bigger truck with more operators. Seems pretty bushleague to me, I don't understand running a one camera shoot on a major network. That's pretty embarrassing for SEC Network, not Alabama.

Another possible reason for it being a one camera shoot is a technical problem in the production truck like someone dropping a coffee on the switcher.

Either way it's completely an ESPN/SEC Network issue.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Why does espn mistreat poor little Bama for every game yet A&M has the wirks every game. A&M invested millions, Bana didn't. Maybe it will be better back at their home stadium, but if Bana wanted to do it better, they could.
