I know that his style is a bit polarizing, but I can't wait to hear what kind of things he does when calling the game next Saturday.

Gus Johnson
- Thread starter CLONEing around
- Start date
Gus Johnson is great to listen to!
Would you rather have his "tiresome act" or the 'B' squad they put together for the UCONN game?
People watch games because Gus Johnson is calling them, more pub. for ISU. Can't be a bad thing.
No, anything (besides Pam Ward) can be better than the jokers that were on Friday night.
Personally, I have never heard Gus Johnson do a football game and will unfortunately miss this one as well (have tickets to Clemson @ VA Tech). But I hope he does well, we need more announcers of better quality of these games.
Not a fan of Gus Johnson, never have been, however, he would be better than the jokers we had for Uconn, Joel Myers and Joel Klatt would be just fine with me.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! What are u like 65 years old? Ok watch some these great football plays, and tell me which one is most exciting to listen to.

My buddy texts me during the UCONN game and says "Could these announcers be any less exciting? I've heard more enthusiasm from a CSPAN book review"
All I could do was agree. and am happy Gus Johnson is doing the next one!
Wow I can't believe the Gus haters! Has he ever done an ISU game before? I will be exited watching the replay after I see us tear up UT.
Nope, not even close to being 65, just don't care for the way he calls football or basketball games. I enjoy an announcer who doesn't think he is the show.
you do realize that networks have always hated him for his actual excitement for what is happening in the games, which has created the demand for him to host anything. That's why he has a following, we wish he could take his fan attitude to bigger games but they don't want those sort of things to reflect poorly on a school that may provide more money.
I'm in the anti Gus camp as well, I like some enthusiasm but only when its warranted. Gus is great on exciting plays but he's awful the rest of the game. He's more well versed in catch phrases than he is strategy or whats going on in the game. They just need to keep him in a studio somewhere, he's more suited for highlights.
