It seems they are trying to sound like they do at NBA games. Now they just need to add music over the PA while the game is going on, and it will truly be a **** show.

Dude is obnoxious. Never noticed that before and feel like I've seen Michigan a bit lately.

Dakich is this.

I remember back in the late 80's one of the Big 8 coaches complained about ours

I hardly even notice ours during games now. :confused:

His voice was kinda shot last game- must have been sick like everyone else.

I will say, I get a little tired of the "we got em we got em we got em". Once in a great while in a huge upset sure . But when we are ranked, and KU is like 10th or whatever, no need to act like it's a miracle win or anything. Maybe it's just me...

I do really like the guy overall. "Thaaaat foul on ..."

Good point. I do like his occasional mocking sarcasm about a bad call by the refs.

Mentioned this on Twitter and the Busted Coverage guy responded and said it is an ESPN issue--need to turn down the mic on the feed, great in arena. Makes sense.

Who was the color commentator for that game last night? Every comment was just a put down of the coach or a ref or a player followed by how it should have been done according to him. I'd rather listen to Dicky spew gibberish the whole game or Walton reveal over the course of 2 hours how high he actually is, than listen to that guy again

I kinda like the "we got em". Nice personal touch. Kind of a "thanks for coming but we booted your ass out of Hilton with a loss like we came here to do."

I didn't watch the game. But I'll put a $100 down right now that it was Dakich.

Dakich. The problem with Dakich is half the time he's fantastic and the other half he's unbearable to listen to. It's very frustrating to listen to someone who could be good if not for their desire to become the show.

The “we got em” just takes away from the moment I think. Let it breathe a little and let the fans make the atmosphere. For a while it seemed like he was dropping this line every time we beat KU/OU/WVU.

Also there seems to always be some reference to his Indiana teams and Steve Alford and lots of glory days stuff.

I'm one who likes Walton so obvious hypocrisy but it's at least entertaining.
