RaceToTheTop

I started the thread and haven't posted in it for awhile. The last thing I will say is that while talking about IU during an SEC game might not gave been random if it was proceeded by a promo, putting one of the two teams down is both random and unnecessary. As a television announcer, part of his job is to get people interested in watching the network. You don't do that with the implication that one of the teams in an upcoming game has a 'bad approach'. Click baiting for your own radio show isn't a good reason to imply to viewers that an upcoming game on the TV network you are on isn't going to be worth watching. He simply doesn't do a credible job of separating his jobs.

I thought coming in we had like a 1% chance to win. And if you told me Morgan would exit in first half, that would have been a stretch. 20 offensive rebounds was huge.

If he wants to do that on his show, so be it. I don't listen. But I don't want to watch IU on TV trying to put it up with it, which is what I typically get when IU is on ESPN.

Yes, he can be puzzling. He is a guy whose play can be s big part of a win or loss. But when a team is struggling, that's better than having s guy who don't be any king of factor.

For those who are saying that he is just saying things to get viewers.....he basically was telling viewers at ESPN that the IU/MSU game wasn't going to be worth watching. Could be why hid do-announcer was confused.

Read 'Old Friend's' quote. It said that Dakich's show was the '#1 rated sports talk show in the country'.

I believe he's been shown to have some connections in the past, yes?

Went to the Red Cedars board for Michigan State and read their game thread. Great read. Half think the refs were on the take (LOL) but pretty much to a man they thought IU deserved to win and played much harder.

The claim was that his show was the '#1 rated local sports show'. While the award he won is nice, it says nothing of the sort. It was an award for a midday, mid-market show.

Oh, he has several coaches on every week? Guy must be John Wooden.

Dan, is that you? The dude said if he had the first pick in the NBA, he would take Aaron Craft. And he said it over and over and over. THAT is the statement of an idiot.

Yeah....where exactly did he say ANYTHING of that sort? That this one is a 'you' interpretation.

Then he's nothing more than a shock jock with no actual wisdom. If you like that, that's on you.

"Rated" the number 1 local sports talk show in the country by who? And you are talking about # of listeners, then at best you could be talking about midday shows.....which isn't where the big audiences are, which are drive time shows. But if ratings = knowledge, then Skip Bayless is knowledgeable. And if the measure of how well is by number of listeners....then he's behind anybody with a national show. Now, what is my particular problem with him? Even when he's not on his show, he's 'on his show'. I'm fine not listening to his radio show, but he anytime I watch IU on ESPN, he isn't there to call the game. He comes in with an agenda. Tell me WHAT exactly he was doing today in the Kentucky/Tennessee game today when he spouts an opinion completely out of left field about Indiana. You could hear his co-host kind of taken aback. And the fact is the guy was a second rate coach who spent 11 years at Bowling Green, never made it to the dance nor won an NIT game. Yet he wants to constantly criticize coaches and tell everyone what 'he would have done'.

I can't tell.....it didn't sound like 'coach', maybe 'approach' but wouldn't swear by it. But what in the hell did his comment have to do with anything with the Florida/Kentucky game? Completely out of left field, unprompted, and just meant to shake trees.

Don't know if this has been posted already... For anybody that still thinks Dakich 'is just saying the truth'.....here is a tweet of thirteens seconds of him 'announcing' during the Kentucky/Tennessee game today. https://twitter.com/marcum89/status/1091862164367966209 So dead in the middle of an SEC game he randomly attacks Indiana basketball once again. This isn't about him 'telling the truth'. This is about him griding an axe. Personally, I'm sick of it and I can't understand why ESPN puts up with his egotistical @$$.

OH MY GOD

Davis....we need you now.

HELD

Damn....just can't stretch it to two posessions. BIG DEFENSIVE POSSESSION
