So Dick Vitale sucks...but now that we have a female calling the game he does not sound so bad...according to our fanbase.

Our fanbase needs to get with the program. The days of ESPN sending Jay Bilas to our games are all but dead and gone. You can thank the dog crap SEC for that.

Vitale still sucks too. In fact, anybody not named Dave Baker, Tom Hammond, Tom Leach, Joe Dean Jr., or Brad Nessler pretty much sucks.

i could careless who the announcers are.. Vitale just gets annoying after a while with constantly repeating the same stuff over and over and over, and his insistence on bringing up duke, louisville/rick. anybody else i could careless

Sorry , but NOBODY SUCKS as much as Dave Baker . Why do you think he's been replaced on the games he was supposed to do play by play ? Sucking up to Jim Host will only get you so far .

(sound of a million Notre Dame fans laughing at the notion of someone praising Tom Hammond as a broadcaster)

FTR, I think Tom does a good job with the figure skating and Derby.

I guess I'm just retarded because I am so into the game that I don't pay a lot of attention to the announcers. ....

At least when Doris Burke is calling the game you could mistake her for a guy half the time.

False, Jay Bilas.
you may like him, but Rafters doesn't. He went to Duke.
Most do like Bilas. This may come as as a shock, but when you get 3000 people in one place, you may get some differing opinions on things.

LOL what Spears said . Almost no one is good enough for yall people. I like lawson enough and honestly she knows the game better then someone like Dick Vitale , or at least shows she knows it. Dick just uses catch phrases and repeats the same points over and over again. I seriously bet some just don't want her to call the game since she is a woman ... lord.

But seriously, I'd be curious to see what individual polls of the opinions of various broadcast announcers are. I think Bilas would get the best percentage in his favor, but it wouldn't surprise me to see the hilljacks that can't stand him just because he went to Duke skew the results. He's clearly the best in the business.
There would be some, no doubt. I also think we have a small but vocal segment of fans who like to engage in gratuitous fan bashing.

My 2 favorites are Bilas and Dakich. Both call the game like they see it and aren't afraid to praise or bash anyone, including their alma maters and the NCAA

As long as you know what's going on who cares who the announcer is. I just want to be able to watch the game. I no longer care who is announcing the games. I prefer Bilas and I listen to the broadcast itself more when he does the game, but so long as it's televised that's all that really matters to me.

I used to love Bill Raftery. Is that bad? Lol. ONIONS!. Nowadays? Bilas + Nesler are my favorite. Gus Johnson is awesome if he calls games also.

Something tells me she doesn't. Not that's there's anything wrong with that.

Im not sure I've ever listened to Lawson. Guess that changes tomorrow. The only guys that truly agitate me are Vitale because he just spews the same crap every game. Brad Nessler bc he loves the upset and UK is typically favored. Love Bilas, Shaunessy when he isn't paired with Vitale
