Len Elmore is awful

[SaintPaulWarrior]

Len Elmore is awful

Absolutely terrible.  He could not stop talking about Syracuse.  He also does not talk about what is going on in the game at all.

[MarquetteDano]

Its funny, before the New Big East, I used to listen to him and realize how biased he was for the Big East.  Now that we are in the Big East, I realize he is biased for the OLD BIG East schools.  Pathetic.  We don't even get the advantage of his biases.   

[wheresthecake?]

I can't stand Len Elmore.  Him paired with John Saunders was just about the worst called game I've ever witnessed.

[cubkid97]

I think it would be great if it were possible to clone Gus Johnson and let him announce every sporting event.

I would kill to have a Gus Johnson/Jay Bilas pairing.  Having said that I think Bilas' current crew is very good.  Gus is the best play by play guy in college right now IMHO.  I love listening to him during the March tourney games!

[drewm88]

Agreed. Bilas/Raftery/McDonough is great. Shulman is great. Mike Patrick is solid. Gus Johnson is great. Bilas/Digger/Davis x2 is great for Gameday. (especially when Bilas is ripping on Digger.)

Len Elmore blows. Don't get me started on the ridiculousness of the "Elmore Index".

[RJax55]

Len Elmore blows. Don't get me started on the ridiculousness of the "Elmore Index".

You mean taking a couple stats, then multiping it by a random number and finally adding the total together is not the best way to determine the top player in college basketball??

[Mayor McCheese]

aw crap, I have a intramural basketball game at 8, the same time as MU v Seton Hall, boooo

My favorite part is the fact that a point is worth 5 and a steal is worth 2. A layup equals 5 steals. Please.

[Dish]

Elmore and Gus Johnson will be paired together for the NCAA's on CBS.

Good news is no James Brown this year. Johnson and Elmore rightfuly get to call a regional final this year.

[mugrack]

Nice teeth on that Elmore guy
