This Iowa game would be so much better without this (no) commentating.

We don't ask much, but you can see what I changed.

I love when he calls the games. He may critique, but I think he is usually spot on.We may not always like what he is saying, but this year the truth has hurt.

As over the top as I thought Dakich was during the Purdue game, I thought he was that far opposite tonight loving on IU.  Pretty crazy episode of polar opposites from one night to the other.  I enjoy Dakich's input when he doesn't preach and just calls it like he sees it.

He was bearable tonight. Some nights he starts going off in what seems to me to be an overcompensation mode. I understand he is a broadcaster now and shouldn't show extreme IU favoritism. It's like he takes that to the other extreme some nights. Tonight was one of his better nights. Now if he could just change his voice. Something about it, kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

When we are getting killed, like in the Purdue game.  He has to come up with filler.  Didn't have to create the filler in the Iowa game.  Plenty of mostly good stuff to talk about.  I am sure the networks want anything from him they can get,  good or bad, it's better than dead air. Dan's career is about speaking his mind, the more he does, the more money he makes.  I am happy for the guy.  He has carved out a nice career and seems to be enjoying himself while making the big bucks.  I bet most all of us would love to make 6 figures to travel around and talk about sports.

He is by far my favorite commentator! He speaks the truth. Sometimes it isn't what you want to hear but it is the truth.

I hate how ESPN lets him do his on the court side show no one cares.

Bring him in as our coach.... apparently he has all the answers, he knows exactly what the IU team should be doing.... Oh wait already tried that....

Eh, I'd argue his career is more of getting people to listen to him. A lot of his job is saying something shocking to get people to listen to his show because they want to hear the next thing coming out of his mouth. He probably speaks his mind more often than not, but he will say some outlandish things as well. Saying outlandish things in his job gets more people listening to you, which is the number 1 goal.

Much better analyzer than coach. Much better coach than player.

He really wasn't that bad last night. I still won't listen to his show and still think he's a blow-hard however.

He is a sports shock jock... the lowest form of entertainment. Sadly, one of the most profitable. I can't listen to his show.

Same here. Don't really care for how he talks to people who call into his show either, so just one more reason I stopped listening. 

[Chips&Dipo 1,464]

I like his show. I think he is pretty funny and doesn't get hyped up in the national opinion. He is over the top at times, but aren't most people when they talk about sports? I feel like I'm listening to a conversation at a bar when I listen to his show.

That is fine, some people like that. I expect more from a guy with a sports show than I do from someone at a bar. If I want that I know several bars nearby that can easily fill that niche. Plus, I can spout off back at them. All I can do while listening to DD is call him a %^&^&%$#$# idiot but he can't hear me.  No, I'm not going to call in...

He would probably hang up on u anyway. Then spend the next 15 minutes berating you.

Exactly

[JSHoosier 19,826]

I don't have a problem with him doing games.  He's paid to comment on what he sees.  He's critical when the play warrants it, he's not when it doesn't (last night).  IU is not the only team he's been critical of.
