By no means an easy place to win...

Should be interesting to see if this game gets their attention...I kinda doubt it (The fans, I mean).

I love Musburger games.

It means you're one of the top one or two games in the country.

Yeah, the fact that Musberger is doing our game is a good thing whether you like his call or not. 

Go to RadioShack and buy one of those thingys that takes out the delay and allows you to sinc the radio audio with your tv.

Anyone that thinks Musburger is that bad is truly sick in the head.

Agreed, Mus isn't that bad.  There is a reason he's ABC's guy besides everyone hating him.

The fact that people hate Musburger, Vitale, and Packer enough to warrant those thingys shows that there are a lot of people that like to hate things for no real reason.

I've just heard the ads on kman here in Manhattan and Matt Wolters was talking about them the other day.  I'm kind of surprised that this is the first time I've heard about one of these deals with the amount of both local and national announcer hate out there.  I really don't know what it takes to be a good play by play or color guy for most people..

It's funny to me that you heard about it from the worst radio personality in the history of the universe.

Change of topic:

Does Durant remind anyone else of Tayshaun Prince?  Granted, Durant appears to be a much better overall player, but their length and thickness seems pretty similar.

Come on now!  Sarcasm?  Everyone knows Arnie Spanier is the worst.  How dare you even try and say otherwise.

Guaranteed.  All Musburger does all day is talk about how great Kevin Durant is.

Durant is having arguably the best freshman season....ever....so I think that's kind of warranted.

Was there anything more thrilling than Musberger/Danielson calling a KSU football game?

"You are looking live at 82,000 fans here in Austin Texas for Kansas State vs Texas...two big 12 powers!"

My disdain for Musberger stems from him just being a poor play by play guy.  Going all the way back to CBS NFL Today when he hosted that with Irv Cross (who actually was good) and Jimmy The Greek.  Musberger's time passed many moons ago.

Stil, choosing between him and Wyattvision is is like choosing between testicular cancer or burning in a fire.

Wyatt Thompson is better than listening to BM?

You have to expect BM and SL to pimp Texas and Durant and rightfully so, but if we win on ABC we'll really be on the map :beerchug:

Anyone look at the TV coverage map?  I LOVE the fact that Cincinnati is the little patch in the region that's showing the KSU game.

Musberger sucks.  ABC uses him because he has a name but he really only yearns for Ohio St vs. Michigan, Texas vs. OU, Notre Dame vs. anyone.  Everyone else is a step down for him.  He can't move on to let the game be the story, he isn't knowledgeable, he really only knows the most hyped players...who he then overhypes.  He is a tool.

Our first ABC game ever and all anyone wants to do is whine about the announcer.

Yes. I made the same comparison yesterday when talking to some ku co-workers in describing Durant's style of play.

Also, they need one of these for Sports bars that have small TV's on cable and large TV's on satelite.  Really annoying to be watching on the big screen and hearing cheers before plays happen.

musburger calling 2 random teams - good.  he has a great voice and some humorous tendencies.
musburger calling your team - bad.  he knows little about the players/coaches style, etc.  and repeats what little he does know ad nauseum.  it gets annoying.

also, i think he is way better at football than bball.
