[USAF]

If I were a bit I'd make sure I knew a little about college basketball geography

That's part of the bit. Everyone is "big city X."

Retire the PA announcer, he's horrible

As long as we're bitching, memo to last night's deejay: you don't have to play music every time just before someone inbounds the ball.

I was watching a throwback Celtics v Knicks, circa 1980 the other night. I called my wife over and said "Listen to this." She said "What, I don't hear anything." I said, "Yep, no canned music and hyped up noise during stopped time." It was a thing of beauty. Plus, Bird and McHale had an outstanding game against Cartwright and the Knicks.
Love the quiet so you can process the game without being told what to think. No wonder the young ones are clamoring for AI to tell them what to think.

How else are you going to know if there is an inbounds play if they don't, smart guy?

DJs should be outlawed at college games. There are 30 pep band members sitting on their hands wondering when they’ll get a chance to play.
But nothing kills momentum and crowd energy by finishing the rouser and then suffer through 1) a commercial for the upcoming gymnastics meet, 2) overblown hip-hop that distorts so bad it’s just noise so you can “get your groove on” with Goldy , or 3) some inane 60 second contest for one or more students to win a gas card (last night there was make a free throw by bouncing it off the floor). Game play returns and everyone has calmed down and is taking selfies they submit to be shared in the scoreboard.
I love seeing games live, but the game atmosphere contributes nothing. At least I can watch the road games on TV.

This is funny because it's sort of true in a way. At least a couple times, that guy faked me into thinking we were going into a TV timeout.

This guy couldn't even announce the players numbers and positions, let alone hometowns yes I am a stickler for these things and keep a scorecard.
