Dear Len Elmore

[ribsnwhiskey]

Listening to elmore in the first game was a beating. He slept through our game. Gotta love espn's 12th team broadcasting crew.

 

[carvers4math]

He was so rooting for Alabama and so stupid, I muted him and put on John Walters, then my bad, unmuted the studio guys in time to hear Jay Williams talk about Hogue doing a good job off the bench (guess he didn't catch Hogue catching his opening tip.)

Iowa State is not playing matchup zone, so stop talking

FIFY

 

[Wesley]

Actually it is pronounced Abduhl.

You can call me Abdul or you can call me .....

 

[marothisu]

And tell Mark Jones it's AbDEL Nader, not Abduhl

Actually, it IS pronounced Abdul.

 

[HFCS]

Actually it is pronounced Abduhl.

That's how Fred says it so that's what it is. Even if Nader's mom says AbDEL.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

He must've been reading straight off ESPN's box score, because it listed Hogue as a bench player with Forward Matt Thomas starting... Don't you recall Matt jumping center? :twitcy:

Yeah - he must have spent some time at the beach while he was suspended...

 

[AMarner32]

Elmore just didn't know what he was talking about. I'm guessing his research before the game included and was fully limited to reading box scores from the first two games. He saw a big, fat "DNP-Coach's Decision" for Thomas and Nader and thought they must be scrubs. That's literally the only explanation I can think of for not knowing about the suspensions and each player's role.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Jay Williams is really high on Frank Hoiberg. Elmore was just horrid the entire game, though.

I told PapaLew he didn't really say that; we just heard it wrong. Guess not. I was getting pretty disgusted with the hardons those two had for Bama. Even when we're ranked in the top 15 we still get treated like second best. SMH

 

[RiverCy]

We played Arizona, right? I heard that twice.

No, we beat Arizona, right? I heard that thrice.

Forgot about this chapter in the stupidity of Jay Williams until I saw this.:spinny:

 

[demoncore1031]

Early in the game they said we have no depth and primarily use 5 players and Alabama is going to wear us out. What? Then later it was all about our depth. They clearly were hoping for Alabama to win. I had to finally use the mute button until we had the ball. Hard fought game and glad we kept our composure.

I thought that's what he said, but wasn't quite sure. What a ****

 

[demoncore1031]

Ahnold Schwarrrrrzeneggerrrr should do some commentary for ESPN. He would have just as much knowledge as the clowns they usually have, and it would be great entertainment.

Lol, I remember that
I also heard one of them call him Fred Hoibord

 

[CRcyclone6]

Len is a Maryland guy to. Hopefully better tonight.

 

[Die4Cy]

Len was openly rooting for his alma mater to have a presumably easier game the following night. That got really annoying. A professional ought to be able to check himself a little.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Not holding my breath on that one...

 

[carvers4math]

I may just start out the game on mute.

 

[rbrook]

I mute the game and listen to the radio. Only issue is that the radio is about 5 sec ahead of the TV. It is nice knowing what is going to happen, especially on a good play.

 

[Gunnerclone]

The TV personality pool gets pretty thin during pre-conference season tournament time.
