How much did WI pay him for this game.
He was awful when paired with Lavin for Badger games. They worshiped Butch.
Musburger has aged like an old bottle of wine ... he has turned to vinegar. He was bad doing the NFL Today with CBS and has gotten worse over time. I never cared for his announcing style.
And Barry Alvarez get's credit for giving Bo Ryan a chance. Brent, Brent, Brent. How quickly you forget about Pat Richter.

And in other news, the sun will rise in the East.
I disagree.
"There's Rasheed Wallace. He never met a technical foul he didn't like." Almost rolled off the couch when I heard him say that tonight.
I challenge you to find a cooler 72 year old.
I would argue Bilas sucks more.
He's really fired up about that worthless three.

Bilas sucks with Mushberger.
Nobody is worse than dicky v. I'll put up with any announcing as long as it isn't him verbally blowing the dukies, diaper dandies, and p.t.p.ers.

Are you freakin kidding me? Bilas is the best and it isn't close. Please tell me who you prefer to hear calling a game.
agreed, Dicky V is by far the worst. Musberger is a little annoying but that's it.... also, why does everyone hate bilas? he's the Herbstreit of college hoops...

+1. He is far and away why I hate Duke. He needs to go away. His act is tired.
That said, I'll still hate Duke even without Dukie V to ruin the game...
I love Bilas, but not with Musburger.
A strong dislike for both Bilas and Uncle Brent? Whaaaa?

He's a complete B1G homer, absolutely.

Yeah, I've never heard an announcer more excited about a pathetically meaningless end of the game three. Musburger is a terrible announcer. And his admission that he was a Cubs fan made me throw up in mouth a bit.

Musburger is a putz.

I agree with your spirit, but not the statement. Jay Bilas is
one of the best, probably top three... in my opinion, Bobby Knight is the best color analyst in college hoops - key word here being analyst. Dickie V provides the most color in all of sports, but more is not better. Kind of like Tim Maymon's sweater... you can take about 10 seconds of it before you start to get nauseous.

I like Bilas best when paired with Raftery and vice versa. They bring out the best in each other.

Ugh.
Being loud and crazy doesn't make you good. Otherwise, Stephen A. Smith would be one of the best at his job.

All credibility is lost when Billy Packer is mentioned.
Coach Al was the best.

Go Warriors!!!

Gus Johnson
I believe the question was "calling" a game, not "screaming" a game. Hate Gus Johnson.
The one thing I didn't understand was their constant "pre" and "post" Bo comparisons. Completely forgetting that Dick Bennett lead them further than Bo has.
I am a big fan of the Bilas / Raftery combo
Some pf Bilas' analysis at the end of the Florida-Syracuse game tonight, "You've got to make shots to win."
Nothing wrong with musberger. He is noGus Johnson. But he is a cool 72 year old. He and herbie are the best for college football games. Not sure why he is such a bo ryan fan.
True / False: Brent Musburger was a Prussian general during world war 2.
Honest to god, this was a question on a freshman history test a long time ago. ;D
i'll stay with eddie doucette-pancake jumper from the toaster or bringing it up past the cyclops-greatest announcer of all time with his nicknames
Agreed on Eddie. He was great.
