Indiana v Penn State, and Gus Johnson's voice!!

[Harrymannback77]

Anybody else break into tears at Gus Johnson making the call on that absolutely ridiculously awesome catch that Cooper made to win it. His voice cracking and breaking down from joy, excitement, etc has to be one of my favorites of all time. If you haven't caught it, listen, it's a classic IMO. I want to reach thru my screen and hand him some water,

Gus Johnson sucks. It's about the game, not you.
He lost his voice on that play because he spent the previous 3 hours screaming on plays that in no way, shape or form required screaming.

He was the same when we beat Penn State in 2019. He is incoherent and sounds drunk.

I haven’t been able to stand him since he made an absolute ass of himself calling soccer matches for FOX

He didn’t call that game.

I have been a Johnson critic (announcer) but yep, that was funny in no small part due to the insane tension leading up to it.

Unapologetically.

Sean McDonaugh called that game.

He's been known to have his voice go out sometimes too though so I understand the confussion.

Yeah, I was watching through the Fox Sports app on my phone and wondered if I was watching a joke stream or something. That call was embarrassing.

This call ruined the entire game.

No it didn't

It can be seen multiple ways. You can appreciate the passion he has for the sport of football or you can look at it from the perspective of expecting him to be level headed and keep his cool while still expressing how amazing the particular play is because of the role he has as an announcer. I appreciate the passion but it was so cartoony and unrestrained.

For him to become unintelligible was absolutely bizarre, especially considering his broadcasting experience. It came across as unprofessional to me.

It really didn't. My friends were all reacting the same way both in person and messages
