Fatty: Excellent call with Harlan and Gary Danielson.

I don't know anyone who likes Vitale. Billy Packer's my least fave.

Good call on lapham. He's great. Gary Reasons is pretty damned good as well.

Jim Knox is the best sideline guy. FSN is incredible @ big 12 football coverage.

Lynn Dawson is terrible, IMO.

Stan Webber is like a robot, hence the name Stan-Bot.

Why you like them??

Stan has higher bball and fball iq than any other announcer I know and I've met him before and is a helluva guy

Lynn Dawson just seems like the nice grandpa that always gave you $10 every time you saw him

Here are my fav guys:

Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen...

Here is a Liggettism: "He's crazy. He's always been crazy. And what on EARTH is he doing?" Probably in reference to Chiappuci!

Title: Re: Favorite/Least Favorite announcers and commentators. . .
Post by: CrushNasty on May 26, 2008, 11:11:48 PM: I heard from friends down at the Auburn game Stan was crapfaced before the game... But always have found that hard to believe, but two diff people told me that.
Also, I yelled "We're gettin &@#%ed up!" at him while he was still on air as I stormed the court after 84-75 game. He gave me a high five.
For those reasons I kinda like him. His announcing isn't :notworthy: at all.

Post by: pwrcat1 on May 27, 2008, 09:57:14 AM: at one point in my life i completely despised billy packer, but now he doesn't even do reg. season sh1t so my hate has somewhat dissipated. plus, if anything he's only going to make fun of ku, regardless of whether they're playing or not, so i guess i retract my statement. billy's a bad ass.

...wow, i just had an argument with myself... :runaway:
