Why is it so easy to question an announcers bias, without checking your own? We are hired, and in the business, b/c we call it as we see it. You’re sitting at home passionately rooting for ONE team… but your frustration is on us? FML!!!

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion but I would take a @LPunt and @emilyehman TV broadcast over literally any other TV volleyball announcer in the country. You haven’t watched enough games on tv if you think these two are “biased.”

@LPunt @sguthriejohnsen Volleyball is a difficult sport to call and you’re good at it. That’s why you’ve got the gig with BTN. You’ve earned that. But compounded by an emotional fball game, you pissed us off being a Badger fanboy, then got some Huskers names/plays wrong. Today, that was frustrating
