MU B2002

The decisions networks make when it comes to broadcasters simply astound me.

Totally agree on Gus Johnson, should have been the voice of the Final Four. Would have given CBS a signature voice to end the tournament. Instead, you get Nantz, who does the Masters later in the week anyway.


I think the problem with Gus is that his schtick annoys more people than Nantz's style does.

True, Johnson is not for everyone. I like the excitement, but he's definitely on the extremely end.

I just think both Fox and CBS relied way too much on Nantz and Joe Buck.

Agree on Gus Johnson.  I watched the MU-Syracuse NCAA tournament game from two years back yesterday morning to get the Villanova taste out of my mouth and to get pumped for tonight, and it doesn't get better than Johnson's "DEE-JAY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" call on the game winning three pointer.

People that like Nantz are the same schleps who loved Billy Packer over the years. Translation - older viewers.

And Nantz and Packer both blow. Nantz is fine w/the Masters. That's right in his wheelhouse of hanging out w/the Bush's and the Couples' family at a prestigious club surrounded by everyone that's just like him. But for anything that requires a pulse, he's terrible.

Whaddya mean DarkWarrior; 25% of your posts are bytching about announcers!

Let's go Warriors tonight!!

That is million dollar question. My head says it will not be pretty and my gut says Buzz will have them ready. Nothing will shock me or disappoint me though.

Nantz's is a terrific golf announcer, that's his passion. He was a collegiate golfer. Funny you mention Fred Couples, as Nantz and Couples were college roommates at the University of Houston.

Mike Patrick and Len Elmore will be doing the ND-MU game this Saturday.

Then somebody needs a separate thread on mis-pronunciations and flat out mis-identifying players, much like the PREDICTIONS thread. 
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.
