Title: It’s Elliott Not Elliot
Post by: TheyWereCones on November 28, 2017, 02:11:05 AM
I can't bear to let this go uncorrected for the next 4 years.  Plus, he earned it tonight, so get it right going forward please.  It's not hard, and isn't it the more common way to spell it anyway?

Sort of like Dwayne vs. Dwyane, eh?

Spell it out however you want. I don't care as long as he keeps dishing it to Marcus.

Co-sign. Used to think he was unbearable. Now I'll watch a game against 2 low-majors if he's announcing.

Yep - love listening to Walton.  His "Conference of Champions" schtick gets old when he's doing a Pac-12 game, but other than that I find him hysterical....

Put me in the not a fan of Bill Walton camp. I'd prefer fingernails on a blackboard to Walton and his acid trip tangents. But at least he named his son after Maurice.

You folks need to seek help.  There is no planet on which Walton is acceptable for a hoops broadcast.

Walton loved Maurice Lucas and named his son after him.
http://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/21324/bill-walton-remembers-maurice-lucas

That automatically qualifies him as an extended member of the MU family.

Walton is a bad announcer.

They don't make a word strong enough to describe Dickey as an announcer. Seriously, I think the worst I've ever heard. And, like most of us, I've heard hundreds of them.
