When it was announced that Fox has overpayed outbid everyone else for television rights to the BCS bowl games, I was excited. I fully expect to see ND in several BCS games over the next few years, and despite the inexplicable presence of football-playing robots on Fox’s NFL telecasts, they still have a much higher production value than the other 3 big networks. But today is a sad and gray day for College Football fans, small children, puppies, and lovers of intellect everywhere. Because today it was announced that Terry Bradshaw will be in the booth for this year’s Sugar Bowl.  We fully expect a telecast filled with incoherent diatribes on why Brady Quinn will never win in the NFL like he did and how he can’t understand why Notre Dame named itself after 2 made-up words.

FOX NFL SUNDAY teammates Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long, both former college football standouts before embarking on Hall of Fame professional careers, enter the game booth together for the first time to call the ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL, live from the Superdome in New Orleans on Wednesday, Jan. 3 (7:30 PM ET).

The ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL marks Long’s first-ever assignment as a game analyst, while Bradshaw enters the booth for the first time in a traditional setting since working for CBS in 1989. Bradshaw and Long work alongside seasoned FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert. Reporting from the sidelines is Jeanne Zelasko, host of the Emmy Award-winning MLB on FOX pregame show and NASCAR on FOX pit reporter. Producer Pete Macheska and director Sandy Grossman steward the broadcast from the production truck.
