I don't like Walton because he is an idiot during a game, Bardo is a doofus and Dakich is an asshole. It's almost as if different people have different taste so there should be nothing confusing about it. My liking or not liking an announcer has nothing to do with the Hoosiers.

I couldn’t believe ESPN allowed that interview to drone on during the middle of a game. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yeah, obviously other people have different opinions... the fact it's talked about so much in game threads and post game threads is confusing and funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bardo hate was inflamed when he went on and on wondering why they were even reviewing the Galloway injury play. Did we hate him before then?

He definitely smokes the good stuff before a game because i usually have no idea what he is rambling on about lol. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Love Hummel. He's the best IMO. Bardo is okay. He's like that friend you dont invite to the party, but dont mind hanging around otherwise. I would be okay if Walton never announced another College basketball game Bill Raftery is a fave of mine.

BobSaccamanno Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I’m reminded of Cris Collinsworth. He says that fans of every team think he hates their team. One thing that’s annoying is in todays media, you have too many guys who openly root for teams. Bill Simmons is a great example. His view on Boston teams is unrealistic and annoying. It’s like if he even has a good point about Dave Cowens, you just dismiss it immediately because he’s not credible. Imagine if his takes weren’t polluted by his fandom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him in catch and shoot situations when he gets to set up. I like him less on the move or on the dribble. Kopp can hit a shot in the mid range where he dribbles to open area. But he needs to be 100% controlled. If he tries to do too much athletically, his shots don’t just miss. He’s wild. I think he’s calmed down in this respect.
