Announcers for tonights game

[jp1]

I usually ignore these guys if they are bad, but tonight they are beyond terrible. Where do they find these knuckleheads?

This is the reason they are announcer an NIT game, they are pathetic!!

Off the streets of Savannah apparently, they have a huge love affair going on.

 

[GAVol]

It's the NIT. If they called the game like Jim Nantz and Gus Johnson, they wouldn't be there.

 

[GTvols]

These announcers are awesome! They are so funny!!

 

[GBO18]

Rise and fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not asking for an all world performance, but is mediocre too much to ask?

 

[GetEmVols]

Terrible teams get terrible announcers.

Terrible teams get terrible announcers.

Funny man.

I've watched a lot of ball in my life. They seem fine for a first round NIT game on ESPNU. Not sure what you're expecting or why the hatred.

I'm used to ESPNU announcers being awful but the color commentator was openly cheering for savannah state

 

[Vols4us]

Goobers - both of them.

I love how he referred to the crowd as 'these people'... he has no idea what 'these people' can do to people who refer to them as 'these people', does he? Pitchforks and torches!

I expect an announcer to bring something to the game in the way of game breakdown, matchup analysis, etc. I didn't get that. They could have left the mic for the entire game and I wouldnt have missed them. Just my opinion, its fine if we disagree.

I expect announcers to be neutral, it's obvious they weren't.

I was expecting a "trailer trash" comment thrown in at any moment.

 

[feathersax]

The announcers were beyond horrid...only thing positive was the several camera shots on CCM giving his team "the stare". Pat Summit would be proud!

Most aggravating thing about any and all of them is that they run their mouths from start to finish, and yet they cannot tell who grabbed a rebound and other essential player stats. They chatter all game long but fail to inform the audience of the status of the game. They forget the game itself and take you on some personal journey focused on themselves.
