They were talking about how he was calling some of the OT action with both hands on top of his head like he was about to lose it at any minute. BITB if you ask me.

Having sat next to Gus at a Hornets game he was calling, I can confirm he is as excited as he portrays in his broadcasts. He beat the shite out of the color guy on the other side of him and the dude was eating it up. Pretty funny.

Post by: dohminator on March 26, 2010, 03:08:55 PM: I disagree. I think the game would have been better listening to Brent Musberger calling the plays and Bob Knight providing the color commentary that 30 years of coaching can only provide. I was disappointed that I didn't get to hear the dynamic duo last night.

Quote
The patron saint of March Madness buzzer-beaters will not be calling the NCAA tournament next year.

SI.com has learned that CBS recently parted ways with Gus Johnson, a play-by-play mainstay on its college basketball coverage for 16 years, after the two sides could not agree on a new deal. Johnson has also worked as a play-by-play voice for the network's NFL coverage since 1998.
Title: Re: March Madness to suck even more next year
Post by: CNS on May 05, 2011, 03:56:02 PM: BITB is going to start a letter writing campaign to CBS when he hears this news. He was saying early March that CBS should demote Nance and give the spot to Gus(calling the FF)

Can only hope that Gus replaces Bobby on big monday, or falls all the way to Fox Sports Midwest so that he can call half of our games.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/22548939/bill-raftery-leaving-espn-for-fox-sports-1

I've done my best and, as you can see, have somehow succeeded in not elbowing in a Bill Raftery-related pun into this opening sentence.

The winsome Raftery, a college basketball color commentator for the past three decades, is leaving ESPN to work for the upstart national network, Fox Sports 1. The news was first reported by The Big Lead. The report linked to an official announcement by Fox Sports 1, which, in the meantime, has been taken down.

The move comes in conjunction with Fox Sports 1's broadcast rights to the new Big East. College hoops fans know that Big East games have long been part of Raftery's repertoire. He coached Seton Hall for 11 seasons, from 1970-1981, and then he was the voice of "Big Monday" on ESPN for many years.

With Raftery moving to Fox Sports 1, plans are reportedly in place to team him up with Gus Johnson, the excitable play-by-play man who has worked with Raftery in the past to enjoyable results.

Upon his departure from ESPN, the network offered this statement on Raftery: "We completely understand his interest in remaining associated with the core group of schools that he's been part of for 30+ years. We wish him the absolute best in his next chapter and thank him for his incredible contributions to ESPN."

Raftery, who's been with CBS for NCAA tournament games since 1991, will continue to call games for the Big Dance at the network in March.

yeah you have to give him a lot of credit for trying something pretty new to him and actually doing a lot better job than most anticipated.

that said, I can't blame him for cutting ties. he's a busy dude.
