As bad as Frangie is, I'd probably turn down the TV volume if she were doing a Jags away game and turn on the radio broadcast and try to sync it with the TV using timeslip on the DVR.  I used to do that back in the day with Sexton sometimes because I preferred the radio broadcast to the network ones, but I'm not going out of my way for Frangie on the regular.

I liked the last broadcast I heard her do, some Mountain West game this year.  I realized that for me it was mostly expectations of what an announced NFL game normally sounds like, and that's usually always a man broadcasting.  I like her better than other female broadcasters I've heard tho; she's got a raspy quality, while others i've heard just sound too ...dare I say it?...feminine.  Which just doesn't fit the basic nature of the sport.

Sure, female broadcasters, like male broadcasters, are usually reading the news and it's not usually exciting.
We see fewer examples in media of females getting excited in a way that's not "OMG she's crazy let's leave" or "I'll have what she's having" but Mowins does it well.  She reminds me a bit of the SGA sponsor we had at my high school. That lady was full of energy, a bigger cheerleader than the cheerleaders. Maybe it's not what we think of as trad fem but it's not masculine either.  She's not my favorite sportscaster, and they all have bad days, but she's definitely better than Collinsworth or Dennis Miller.
