Noon, 3:30, or 7:30 doesn't matter a ton to me, and I think there are pros and cons to both. But that doesn't mean I enjoy Fox, in fact they have the worst "big" game presentation I've seen in years. It didn't really hit me until I saw a re-run of the 2005 Texas game. Check out the differences in the intros into the game.
Okay. How about old ABC:
I thought maybe it was just nostalgia when thinking of the old ABC days, but after watching that re-run last night, it absolutely is not nostalgia. ABC made your eyes glue to the TV as soon as feed cut to Keith Jackson, Brent Musburger, etc.. They also wait until ~40 seconds to get to their first ad sponsorship. Meanwhile, Fox opens their intro with an ad.
Sitting at work posting this, and I legit got goosebumps as I played the Texas intro to make sure I embedded it correctly.
