John Crumpacker's WCC latest

in John Crumpacker's latest on the West Coast Conference: "Why do broadcast networks always default to beauty shots of San Francisco when televising events in the Bay Area that are outside of San Francisco? It’s cliché, it’s lazy and it’s geographically bogus. Take Sunday night’s Stanford-Saint Mary’s game in Moraga, 21 miles removed from San Francisco. Other than the game itself on ESPN, there were no other shots of Moraga. Granted, it’s as dark as the bottom of a well in Moraga at night, but by day, the rolling hills of this bucolic little burg are attractive. However, there was a shot of the Powell-Market cable car, by golly."

Agreed. Heck, take some campus shots and of the surrounding area. It's plenty attractive if not iconic. Gael fans aren't stepping out of McKeon Pavilion and getting on a cable car or oohing over a view of the Golden Gate.
