Pitt vs. Texas A&M

Network: CBS
Announcers: Tim Brant, Dan Jiggetts
Format: DVD (2 disks)
Quality: 8.0
Notes: Halftime edited out... Includes commercials... A perfect example of the point about "why do people not do everything on 2 disks or less?"... Very decent picture, but very bad compression artifacts. Could have easily been done at about 1:20 flex mode or less rather than SP as it ran just 3:22. It comes across as a lazy conversion, but it is on 2 disks, yay!!! (Sarcasm).
