Steubenhoosier Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Better on football or baseball? Neither? Or don’t care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 He's never been my favorite, but I don't dislike him either. I probably like him better on baseball, but that may have something to do with my dislike of Troy Aikman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Anybody else here think that Buck and Thom Brennaman mannerisms, posture, and voice in-general are the same? Or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Don't care. Don't believe he ever played pro ball, or college ball for that matter. So he's just another talking head. I'd much rather hear from former players as commentators than some media guy/gal even if they are from IU. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike him, I just don't think about how good or bad he is. I pay attention to people with experience...in all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he draws plenty of ire and I guess I've never been completely sure why. I'm fine with him for either but if I had to choose one I'd probably lean baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think he's better doing baseball, but even then he can't carry his old man's jock... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a son who wants to carry his father's jock around and I'll give you someone who has bigger issues than what kind of announcer he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the old NFL OL who used to be the color guy for Colts games on CBS? Derdorf? or something like that. He was AWFULLLLLL. Obviously a good person, but I couldn't stand it. There also was a color guy (former player, but I'm not sure for who) that would do the 330 ABC Big Ten game. He was a complete jack wagon who was arrogant as could be, and basically second guessed TA or KW with EVERY move they would make. Seemed like a total prick. Gus Johnson is fantastic, Jeff Van Gundy, Marc Jackson, Clark Kellogg are all very good..... I do not care for Romo at all. Ian Eagle is good. Hubie Brown talks way too much. Chris Weber is not good. Reggie is solid. I'm just rambling opinions here. Mack Brown was VERY good when he was in the booth. Kyle Peterson, Chris Burke, and Ben McDonald are excellent for ESPN college baseball games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
