Yes, we should have been at the game. Then we would not have to have listened to the two announcers. If they were broadcasting on both radio and television, they were really bad. If they were television only, they were atrocious. They did not realize we viewers are not blind. The principal announcer spoke at least three times more than he should have. His up and down voice was shrill about minor points. His repetitive, repetitive hagiographic comments about players, especially about Lizzy, who was, over and over, "unbelievable" and "unstoppable," were irritating. The difference in volume between the announcer and the commentator, who sounded alike, was frustrating.

If they are student announcers, they might listen to David Flemming, the Giants' announcer, who -- when he was a Stanford student sports announcer -- was a hundred times better.

Yesterday, our only solution was to turn off the sound. In the future, our only solution is to make the one-way three hour drive and attend all not most games in person. Perhaps, that was Stanford's intent in inflicting these two on us.

I hate to be the scold, but, how do we tell the proper person, we deserve far, far better.

"Sally sees sea shells," they kept saying. Arrrggghhh.

P.S. If you were there in person and are curious about the announcers, you of course can watch and hear on ESPN ACCnx Stanford for a few minutes. The match itself of course was disappointing..
