Pretty sweet for UCLA in that their burger boy big man Welsh gets in foul trouble and they bring in burger boy Parker to replace him.
They have 6 players that were top 40 players in the US and three of them were ranked higher than any player on IU. I assume UCLA is doing real well this year.

I love Bill Walton. I personally don't want to hear about the game too much. I'm can see what I'm watching. Bill makes it even more fun to watch.


That's great if you are into it but I am so sick about hearing how he loves his bike I cannot take it anymore. He would be fun to have a beer, or "whatever". with but he drives me nuts when he calls a game.

I think they have another great class coming in next season too.

I personally like to turn on a Bill Walton game, close my eyes and wait and see how long it takes me to realize he is broadcasting a basketball game.

You know, I'd convinced myself the decline of announcers in modern times was a myth or a trope, overblown because now we're better at complaining and stuff.

 

But, man, I've been watching a ton of old football lately and they're just SO much better. They tried to teach you the game instead of just getting you through it.

 

Noticed the same thing watching old basketball games too. It's a huge bummer. I guess I was too young to notice the change before going back and really paying attention.

You can watch Hubie Brown. He'll teach you the game but he's an older guy. With Bill you'll be learning more about exotic places and if you're lucky he'll teach you some basketball. Bill is one of the greatest of all time. So he can basically do as he pleases. Free spirit guy. I like Hubie in small doses. Smart man.
