Am I the only one that doesn't mind Beth Mowins?  I mean it could be worse, we could be playing Mack Brown Bingo.  

 

This is the thread where you say something nice about Mrs. Mowins.  

 

I'll start this off.   I actually don't mind her voice during morning games.  I'm actually curious how different the Beth Mowins experience would be during an evening game?  Like a cup of coffee (or bucket of ice water while still in bed)....

Mute is your best friend.

Raises hand.  

I believe she's been a part of the MNF DH on opening weekend for ESPN.

You and the other wimmenz don’t mind, I reckon.

I did try to listen to the amazon alternate NFL stream with Hannah Storm and some chick. Gave up after 3 plays.

It just ain’t natural. Has nothing to do with their knowledge of the game. I just don’t want to hear my wife/mom talk football.

Doesn't bother me any more than others. Main criticism is her voice inflection sounds really forced and unnatural. There are several men who have the same problem. I know announcer voice is different than speaking voice for these people, but the good ones make the announcing voice sound conversational, as though maybe they really talk that way. She is one who appears to be trying too hard--again, several men are the same way.

A positive, she is not as bad as others who just talk for the sake of talking--she's pretty focused on describing the action with some color. I've been watching some college basketball and Fran Fraschilla is the fucking worst. Never fucking stops, rarely is talking about what is actually happening on the court, and everything is a strong over the top opinion or story about someone tangibly related to the teams or people playing. Just shut the fuck up every now and then and discuss the actual game going on in front of you, geez.

Voice inflection seems fine to me. Agree with the rest of your post. 

I don't know who the woman is that does the Big 10 games, but I was surprised how good a job she does.  Don't mind her at all.

I'd rather pass a kidney stone than listen to Beth Mowins.

But in the spirit of the thread, I'm sure she likes puppies and children.

I appreciate the fact that Beth Mowens is the most manly voice in the booth at all times

Well, she's wearing  a fuzzy pink vest @ the Belk Bowl currently, so her fashion sense is suspect.

Would. 

Image result for maybe maybe maybe

She sounds a lot like Marv Albert and would probably bite you during sex too.

Not sure if those are good things but it's what comes to mind.

She's awful.  If she were a man, she'd be awful too.  That forced deep register with the upper midwest accent = pure shit as far as announcing goes.

Dude, stop.  I'm hard already. 

I just clicked onto the football board to see if anyone else was bitching about her.  Horrible, she is.

Her idea of lingerie is a wife beater and boxer shorts.

Probably the first thing they'd do is trade underwear.

Lots of people do.

Barbecue or extra crispy?

Pretty sure she's Lowell Galindo's sister.

She's a zillion times more knowledgeable than Galindo.  That, combined with her sense of when to STFU makes me like her.  As far as the female voice goes, you just gotta get over it.  I'll admit I struggle with that myself.

Beth Mowins does not work for Longhorn Network. So we've got that going for us. Though Lowell is, admittedly, almost as annoying.

I thought she was Lowell's husband.

Why the limitations, man?

I’m guessing it would involve her drinking more alcohol and leaving much larger bruises on your ass. If you’re lucky, she’d turn you around so you could watch the game.

Puppies..

Her voice sounds like she crams a tampon up each nostril right before kickoff. 

Her voice sounds like she’s choked on too many dicks in her day. That or munched one too many rugs.

She's ok as an announcer. Agree she sounds forced but no more than Tessitore, who somehow stumbled his way to the MNF gig. That dude's voice grates on my soul...probably because he was the one who said we were back.

Anyway, I don't mind Beth. There is much, much worse out there.
