I haven't seen this posted yet (if it has been, my apologies), but I'm happy to see this news. Not so much because Anthony will be a terrific game analyst (although he may be), but because Kellogg was so awful. The B1G Tournament and March Madness can only get better as a result.

Next - get rid of "One Shining Moment" and we'll be on our way.
 

I like Greg Anthony, he seems to really study up on his stuff, even as he was doing his NBA duties, he knew what was up in the college game.
 




I'll be very happy this winter when I don't have to hear Kellogg's forced attempts of using "Pumpkin" and "Dairy Queen'd"
 


I don't think Kellogg was awful, but he did over-use cliches and seemed to try to be too clever at times with his phrases. I found the phrase that Victor Oladipo was "like a baby's bottom, smooth and sometimes explosive" was particularly strange and disturbing. He also seemed to agree with the officials almost every time even when at times when he shouldn't have (like when he suggested that Aaron Craft shouldn't have been called with a charge against ISU because the official may have noticed that his heel was hovering over but not on the restricted arc). I like Greg Anthony, I have always thought he has been fair and does not buy in to the desire to create controversy where there isn't one (unlike many other analysts) and will give his honest opinion.
 



OK. But keep Charles Barkley far away from college basketball, he was so very clueless.
 


CBS can do whatever they want, but never, never, ever change their college basketball jingle. It's music to my ears (and my ringtone).

You know, they only play it once, like 10 minutes AFTER the final game, and it only lasts about 3 or 4 minutes, so it's very easy to ignore if you don't like it.

You're right, that jingle is equivalent to happiness.
