Bringing up the Florida turnaround last year to pump ticket sales for Saturday's Gonzaga asskicking. If you buy that garbage, you deserve what you get.

I hate Ben Boyle but not because of his play-by-play but because he refuses to have an actual basketball analyst on the broadcasts. The tv and radio analysis he has used throughout the years is comprised of Stan Weber, Matt Walters, oscar Haertl, and Mike Clark; completely unacceptable. He and the rest of the ad wants K-State fans to care about basketball when he doesn't care enough to use one of the dozens of former players sitting around to tell everyone what the hell is happening on the court.

Ben is a huge turd IRL.

Boyle gets to choose his broadcast partner?

I think part of his job is hiring analysts. not sure though.

[Mike Ahearn]

Boyle used to be the color analyst on the radio broadcasts before Learfield outbid WIBW.

That was a pregame show that they used to have, energy and Clent did it too, I'm 85% sure that Brian Smoller was in charge of that.

His job title is general manager of kansas state sports properties, the broadcasting arm of the athletic department aka learfield

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Stanbot is basically the best analyst ever. If Boyle hired him, then Boyle did his job.

yes.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find that the color analyst rarely provides any insight whatsoever in any sport.  They just circle stuff and let you know what you already saw.  Dougie is an exception.

you are pretty much correct.

For the most part yes. Color guys have to cater to the lowest common denominator of fans so that limits what they can do. Very few are able to still get into some more detailed analysis while still keeping breakdowns simple enough that most fans can understand. JMHO.

yep.  i wish they would talk in more detail.  it isn't like people will turn off the game.  especially basketball.  there's so many timeouts/stoppages of play which require "talking" yet it's filled with garbage. 

[Dr Rick Daris]

basketball does seem to have more "filler" stuff than other sports. like "this weeks ksu student of the week" type stuff.

[michigancat]

football has a billion times more stoppage

[ChiComCat]

football has a billion times more stoppage

Until the end, when coaches blow through 4 timeouts each over the last 2 minutes.

[Dr Rick Daris]

so what's the deal w/ ben boyle. don't know him or anything about him. why do people who apparently do know him not like him?
