    Did anyone happen to watch that butchered version of the BYU/Utah game on AFN Sports today?  It was the most atrocious editing of a sports event I have ever watched.  They showed maybe 2 minutes of the first quarter, and the 2nd quarter started with 4:33 remaining on the clock.

    Whoever massacred this broadcast seems to thing that the only interesting thing in a football game are the last 2-3 plays of a scoring drive.  If the drive didn't score, it was taken out completely.  So basically, all you're seeing is action in the red zone -- IF it resulted in a score.  Have they never heard of the strategy of field position?  Big plays at midfield? 

    Besides this atrocity committed on the sport, the programming guide said nothing about the game being edited. I expected I would be getting the full game, and was sadly disappointed.  They really need to take a page from NFL Replay.  They get an entire NFL game into 90 minutes, mainly by chopping out the deadtime (huddles, time outs, etc.) They just show from the snap to the end of the play, and you see just about every play of the game in a 90-minute broadcast. 

    It CAN be done.  Just wondering if anyone else noticed this & what you thought about it.
