Jim Calhoun

[Fitz51]

He's almost unlistenable.

 

[Hungry Jack]

I don't think that's a real word.

 

[Fitz51]

I don't think that's a real word.

Which is appropriate, given the words he uses.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Which is appropriate, given the words he uses.

He's hard on the ears too.

 

[corbi2961]

He's almost unlistenable.

Hard to understand him and he really does not have any chemistry with his partner. That being said, he knows a lot about the game and occasionally provided some interesting insight.

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

If it means having a first half like we did tonight...I'll take Jim for every game!

 

[hdhntr1]

He's almost unlistenable.

He was pretty effusive in his position that NU looks like a dance team

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

I am better and was an announcer for BT wrestling for Northwestern for 2 and half years!

Now that knight is gone he is the worst. Maybe by a long long margin.

Now that knight is gone he is the worst. Maybe by a long long margin.

Let's not forget that NU was interested in him a few years back. Supposedly he wanted an ok to bring in one recruit each year that didn't quite meet NU admissions. Guess that ended the discussion.

Thus the famous quote from Calhoun in one of the Chicago papers: "I don't do miracles"

Thus the famous quote from Calhoun in one of the Chicago papers: "I don't do miracles"

Maybe if we pray hard enough, CC will.

 

[DaCat]

Maybe if we pray hard enough, CC will.

I don't think CC needs a miracle. This team is good enough. Just no more injuries.

 

[Palindrome_rivals517509]

I don't think CC needs a miracle. .... Just no more injuries.

Methinks thou doth contradict thine ownself, DaCat.
“No more injuries” in the context of NU Basketball would actually BE miraculous

 

[Hungry Jack]

I did t realize that was Calhoun providing color today. Definitely sounded like a guy who had coached a lot (and burned out his vocal chords). I actually enjoyed his comments, probably because he spent so much time praising the Cats.

 

[mikewebb68]

He did a couple of our games last year. Considering he is 74 years old, I beleive he does a decent job.

I liked his basketball knowledge it was clear he new about the game but he compared the people playing to his own players a lot and that kinda bugged me and his voice I guess wasn't appealing but I personally could care less about that and I'm glad he knew about the game which is much better than a lot of commenters who I'm surprised watch basketball for a living.

That's a seventy word sentence. A new board record?

Try to read it out loud without pausing to breathe.

I can't say the same about his football knowledge. At one point he said he would take Washington State and give 50 points.

A budding new board wrassler?

 

[Medill90]

A budding new board wrassler?

Nope. A script writer for ESPN.

 

[Windy City Cat Fan]

Or knew

 

[ThatadultfromHolland]

Only on a northwestern board am I made fun of for grammar
