How about not.
Classic Jim Nantz in the Flo-TV ads. He will be calling the final four with Gus Johnson wannabe Clark Kellog. What a disgusting misfit bunch of teams. In my prime bracket I was 0 for 4....OH FOR FOUR! Redic. I've always gotten at least one team. Sadly Baylor used their athleticism as a crutchy crutch and refused to box out, Ii don't know many teams that get out offensive rebounded 23-9 and still win. Disgusting. You know what else is disgusting!? The NCAA venue process. I was in shock seeing the ticket prices for the venues and the fact that they were a ghost town in the middle and upper deck (hahaha...upper deck) at Reliant in Houston, especially. I am all for having the Final Four in a huge venue and packing everyone in, but its not gonna be the hottest ticket in town if you can get them. They should have played at Scottrade in STL and the Toyota center in Houston...etc.
I ran across an interesting article (http://www.kansascity.com/2010/03/27/1840924/the-ticker-gus-johnson-edition.html) about Gus Johnson calling the K-State game. It was utterly hilarious. With the week winding down, I will be attempting to attack the following in the upcoming week:
My MLB Predictions
Bracket Monday (like to make this a usual thing...but we'll see where it goes)
Loomisms of the week
Start up on April Awareness
With that I give you the top five college basketball announcers:
Feezy-Dick Enberg. The classic voice of calmness and understanding. I'd love to see him in a Gus Johnson and Billy Raftery sammich. Sandwiched by crazy, how's that for breakfast at Wimbledon big guy?
Fourman-Jim Nantz. hahah, if he does more flo-tv ads he may sneak his way up the board.
Thrizzle-Kevin Harlan. This guy really is a class act.
Ace&Gary-
Gus Johnson and his magic specs. Not sure if you heard him on Saturday, but he busted out a line "Don't let the smooth taste fool ya" Elegant, refined and perfect with Len Elmore. Pretend the A is an L. Then youu can pick up what I'm puttin down.
Top Dawg-This is Obviously owned by Raftery, he is the top dawg and gets virtually no respect. Him and Vern really do a fantastic job, and he needs a calm guy with him, like the guys needed roofalin on the Hangover....hahaha. I wish once he'd get the opportunity to call the final game. Jam him in the booth with Nantz, or better yet, phone booth everyone in one booth while they all fight over being heard. Quality Television.

Where is Dickie V?????
ReplyDeleteClassic phrases that everyone knows
- Dipsey Doo Dunkaroo
- Trifecta
- They need a TO BABY!
- Diaper Dandy
He's got to be atleast an honorable mention, because he can get annoying, and he has a huge Duke/UNC/ACC bias, but he's still one of the top game callers out there.
