Does anyone else get bothered with the way Gus Johnson says "Minne-soooo-daaaah"?
 


McDonnugh and Raferty are very good.

I can't stand O'Brien...he seems to understate everything and fails to question bad calls.

Lavin is good, but he's often held back by working with O'Brien....I have no idea why ESPN always finds a place for O'Brien...he's awful in everything he does...Baseball, Soccer, Basketball...

I'd love to see Musberger work with Lavin but they seem to love putting Knight with Musberger.

I'm not a big fan of Gus the screamer, although he is pretty sharp with noticing things.

Nantz has lost it and his failure to correct or know that the Gophers had beaten OSU with Turner is testament to his game slipping.

my rankings!

Play by play: 1)McDonnugh...2)Musberger...3)Johnson....4)Enberg....5)Nantz....6)Lundquist.....39)O'Brien
Color: 1)Lavin...2)Raferty....3)Bilas...4)Marques Johnson(good on pac10 games)....5)Vitale(for the Howard Coselle effect)....6)Kellogg
 

A lot of people really like him... but, I can barely listen to Gus Johnson. Really awful for me. Nails on the chalkboard. Although I enjoyed his, "he’s got getting-away-from-the-cops speed" line...

Not sure if this has been posted... the announcing teams for the tourney:

Jim Nantz/Clark Kellogg
Dick Enberg/Jay Bilas
Verne Lundquist/Bill Raftery
Gus Johnson/Len Elmore
Kevin Harlan/Dan Bonner
Ian Eagle/Jim Spanarkel
Tim Brando/Mike Gminski
Spero Dedes/Bob Wenzel
 


Gus Johnson... Enough said.

Does anybody else find Bill Raftery saying "man-to-man" as annoying as I do? I don't understand the reasoning behind that, and I know he does it with a few other phrases as well. He sounds like an idiot.
 

Lavin/Mussberger and it's not even close. The 2 of them feed off eachother so well. I always love how Lavin will compare fouls to a Lawrence Olivea/Gary Cooper reference. haha. These two together are comedic gold. Add Erin Andrews in there for some eye candy and as Mussberger would say, You have "A Dandy" on your hands!
