Dane Bradshaw is....

[Fightmaker]

A damn fine color commentator. That is all.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

I remember the first year or two and he was not good.
Then something clicked and you're right. He's really good now.

He’s starting to drift into the let’s talk about all kinds of stuff besides the game being played.

 

[StarRaider]

 

[omghulkhands]

I like when he calls UT games because he knows the team so well.

 

[VolnJC]

I think he's good...but I also like Bill Walton so my opinion doesn't count lol

Much like his basketball career.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Dick Vitale’s replacement. Baby!

I posted this a couple years back about Bill.....
"A few years ago, he was rambling for 3 or 4 minutes on how Maryland would win the ACC. When he stopped to take a breath, the announcer with him told him Maryland was now in the Big 10. He asked when that happened and the other guy said 2 years ago. He just said, Oh, never mind. Good weed, Good fun. "

Dane Bradshaw should replace Bob as the announcer calling Tennessee men's basketball games.

Play by play is totally different skill set

Bill Walton like Dickie V needs to GO AWAY!

I have concluded that is network driven. Why they think it adds value to the product, I cannot figure. I mute TV and go to radio.

And on the women’s basketball side - Carolyn Peck needs to go. She used to be good but now is becoming Vitale-like. Sensationalizes everything.

Walton appears to be strictly west coast. As long as he’s not calling SEC games, especially UT games then he’s a non factor.

Dickie V ruins whatever he broadcasts and unfortunately ESPN puts him on the prime east coast games. I pledge $500 for Dickie V to never be on another Vol broadcast. If we pooled our resources maybe we could pay ESPN off?

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Walton is strictly West Coast--PAC 12. I think ESPN gives him a bonus or a dime bag every time he refers to the PAC 12 as the Conference of Champions. I lost count last night watching Colorado beat Southern Cal.

If you liked Walton, I agree that your opinion doesn’t mean very much. I think Walton was the all-time worst. I do think Dane Has come a long way and has found his niche.

Just when I was ready to give you credit for Moseley...
GBO!!

Play by play is totally different skill set

A skill set which are current play-by-play announcer does not have. I would be willing to give him a shot. He can’t get much worse and at least he would know something about the game

Walton amd Vitale. No need for a game. Just let them talk to each other , drink a beer and watch it unfold.

Send me the money. I will take care of it for you.

Joshua Rowntree (voice of the Pitt Lady Panthers) is a bright rising star...up and coming announcer. Very prepared and exciting, and grew up a huge Big Orange fan. H3 should be the Voice of the Vols!

 

[volhick]

I think all of the SEC Network basketball guys are better than expected for a heavily football leaning conference.
