Title: Dave Armstrong is a tool
Post by: EMAWzified on December 30, 2011, 08:58:56 PM
Slobbering all over Billy G.'s knob as a surrogate BJ to Self.
Also, Tolbert is good.

If you put Dave and Jason King in a room with Bill Self . . . who would get on Bill Self's di_k faster?

no, I really enjoy him, kougs.

I've been 100% consistent on this. I've been hearing him call PHillips 66 games as long as I can remember, but don't watch KU games, so I don't hate him.

Noting that Dave would likely fight King to the death for a chance at Self is not any indication of a hatred towards the man.

Dave seems very sincere in his love for us when on the radio.  He is either sincere or a sociopath. Eitherway its interesting.  A good lie is every bit as interesting as the truth.

My hatred of him has nothing to do with any perceived slights toward K-State. It's about him being a god-awful play-by-play guy.

Post by: deputy dawg on January 01, 2012, 09:16:09 AM
Dave Armstrong, early season, picked the 'Cats to finish in the lower third of the conference, and be a bubble team.  I thought that was a reasonable assessment for what he had seen at the time.  He's been doing the Phillips 66 stuff for so long, he's like a fixture, and a better play-by-play guy than most.

I hate Clark Kellogg with a rough ridin' passion. And I like Armstrong more than most PbP guys. Boog, Gus, and Sean are the only ones I like more off the top of my head. And they're all national guys.

He's a dildo, not changing anytime soon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESPN_College_Basketball_broadcast_teams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESPN_College_Basketball_broadcast_teams)

So I looked at these lists to see where Gettys fits.  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt over most of the CBS guys, we don't hear them very much so their level of annoyingness isn't nearly as high.  It should be said though the CBS guys for the most part are really good.  Because they only have good games and don't do a lot, there isn't a bunch of wasted bullshit and stupid catch phrases.

The ESPN guys even close to annoying as Gettys, in order of shittiness, are Jimmy Dykes (simply the worst), Bob Knight, Hubert Davis, and Bob Valvano because he's amazingly boring.
