Fanta

[MuMark]

I'm not a fan but for those who care about him

He's fine in general, but not great as an announcer.

[wadesworld]

Yeah.  He's good at social media, but I don't think he'll be good doing a bunch of play by play or as a studio update guy in football.

[tower912]

He is a Big East fanboy and has a nice living being that.  Not a great play-by-play guy.  Ah, well.  Good luck to John.

Yup. Loves the Big East, and always speaks very highly of Shaka and Marquette. Agree about his PBP skills, but at least he won't be the worst one out there, so whatevs.

[Jay Bee]

Male, at least.

[Hards Alumni]

I prefer orange, but John is fine.

[We R Final Four]

Sounds like a bunch of Badger fans on here.

Fanta was always willing to highlight MU players and Shaka any step of the way.
For several years, every podcast he was on, he brought up MUBB....not just FOX.

[tower912]

Fanta is/was a huge Big East fan and a huge Shaka fan.   Agreed.

Fine. He's a terrible play by play guy though.

Fanta is definitely the best orange soda out there.

Fine. Bitch bitch bitch

Last night, I had a dream that I mixed Fanta with Hi-C.

When I woke up, I realized it was just a Fanta-C.

[The Sultan]

Fine. Bitch bitch bitch

lol. Sorry I criticized your BFF.

[We R Final Four]

So juvenile. Classic.

[pbiflyer]

Man, even NBC uses the portal. Why can't we get a high profile transfer like this? /s

[The Sultan]

So juvenile. Classic.

Does your Fanta doll give you a hug back?

You are a very strange they/them.

[Scoop Snoop]

You are a very strange they/them.

You're just now figuring this out?

[TallTitan34]

I usually can't stand Vin Parise but him and Fanta called a game last year and I really enjoyed it.  Thought they paired well together. 

I do agree he's better as a sports talk host than a game commentator. 

[The Sultan]

You are a very strange they/them.

I just find it interesting that your reaction to criticism of Fanta is to:

*Call people Badger fans
*Claim people are bitching
*Question my pronouns???

And you claim I'm the one who is "juvenile?" I merely gave my opinion of him as a broadcaster. I appreciate his enthusiasm for the BE and Marquette, but at best he is "growing" as an announcer.

[PJDunn]

Fanta will end up being a good play by play guy. He is enthusiastic, quick on his feet, and loves Shaka. Good hire by NBC.  Next...

What are your pronouns?

60 games (men's and women's) on NBC/Peacock next year. Anyone who thought this would lead to less Fanta is probably wrong, I expect we'll hear him on Marquette games more than in the past.
