Announcers for Clemson v KU

Bill Raftery, Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Tracy Woolfson.

So enjoying the announcers overall. Such a difference from the ESPN crews.

I will say that it was only after last night’s OkSt-Stanford NIT game on ESPN was over that I realized whoever was working that game (I tend to either tune out the talking heads or mute them if they are irritating) actually did a solid job of talking about the game in a — for the most part — unbiased and informative manner. The realization was rather shocking. ESPN? Yep.

LOL!

Don’t get me wrong, sasnak, I can do without the Len Elmores of the world, but I just get so tired of ESPN THs talking about anything *but* the game in front of them that as often as not I just mute them out unless something happens that the picture alone can’t explain. It seems to me that, despite their very obvious biases, the CBS crews tend to pay more attention to keeping the viewer informed about what is happening in the arena.

Then again, as already mentioned I tend to tune out the THs even if I don’t mute them, so it may be that I am simply equivalencing different with better due to insufficient data.

BTW, I noticed that when I started typing sasnak my autocorrect suggested “Sasha KU”.
I *like* that... just saying...

I like the guy a lot. He tells you what is going on, but also is very excited during the play.

I really would have loved to hear him announce the UMBC games. He would have been through the roof.

Now that you mentioned him, I do think — despite my initial ugh when he was introduced— that it was Lavin that I enjoyed so much,

Yep, that’s the combo I’ve really enjoyed. Thanks, folks!
