Bill Walton

[Griggs]

Someone shut him up please!!!!

 

[AtlantaHusky]

if he's the luckiest man alive, he makes everyone around him a little more unlucky.

 

[GHSWolverines]

He is terrible. Did anyone here him say the Oregon Huskies.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

What was the reference about Nurse Hurley?

 

[YearoftheHusky]

He’s a national treasure. Don’t love him on a UConn game though.

In case anyone would like to know what Bill Walton looks like when his lips aren't flapping.

 

[MrSec238]

I like listening to Walton…but when its your team its certainly an annoyance

 

[uconntailgater]

He was so annoying in the last 10 minutes. As the game was over and they were transitioning to the new game he was heard on the hot mic saying stop interrupting me.

 

[August_West]

That was fantastic and bill didn’t bring A game. I love him. This has seriously been the most enjoyable Tday in my 55 years.

That whole production was terrible, showing an interview with Phil Knight while game is being played. Save it for half time. Bill took away from the game. It's all about him.

California Dreamin.

 

[Incursio007]

He’s literally high 100% of the time he’s on air.

 

[Huskybass]

Long time Bill fan. I find him hilarious because he is so oblivious. He's just kind of socially inept, and doesn't give a f.

The Phil Knight interview could have happened in audio only while they showed the game. That was absurd. Even worse was showing a taped interview with Izzo! Show it at halftime, why are they diminishing the live game with that b.s.

Walton was very complementary of UConn and its coach. I like it when an announcer turns our game into a commercial for the Huskies.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Someone shut him up please!!!!

This is Bill’s world. You are just living in it. Show some GD Respect. Thank you.

 

[Ratso]

It's his tourney. Hope he sold a lot of books.

 

[huskyfan224]

He’s better than Vitale

 

[husky210]

I didnt mind Bill, he was very complimentary of UConn and Hurley. I thought it was funny he sounded like he ate a bunch of shrooms before the game when he was out at the Japanese garden.

It was a joke.

Hated all the split screens. Loved all the Bill Walton. Maybe this doesn't speak well of me, but in addition to actually finding him entertaining, one of my favorite things about him is how he drives so many people crazy.

I guess I just don't care what the announcers say during games. I am there to watch the game. There is not much they can say from an analytical point of view that will enhance my experience, so they might as well be goofy and/or bizarre.

[wheelerdog]

Walton is one thing. Going to split screens for everything from Phil Knight to the MSU bus is quite another. What a horrendous broadcast

 

[david]

I enjoy him but he can be a bit much. You shouldn't constantly be asking 'what the hell is he talking about?' during a college basketball game.

 

[huskyjawz]

This board right now

And that's with a blow out victory; imagine if we had lost!

 

[SCNCHuskie]

I generally like Bill Walton. That split screen stuff where the game was going on but they were discussing everything but was excruciating. To complicate things for me, I was watching on a phone, so with the split screen I couldn’t even see the game.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I actually mute the TV because I'm embarrassed for him. I just hope he doesn't say something to get himself I'm trouble.

Two gems from tonight were: predicting the game would be decided on the final possession.... (admittedly he hasn't watched UConn this season) and when UConn broke the school 3 point record he asked If it was for both men's and women's? ("Because they are too different sports..." His colleague wisely moved past that comment....).

 

[elmcityboy]

the espn production was horrific. the split screens were completely useless -- i thought the endless interview with phil knight was bad, but the needless shot of jay bilas stunned me.

walton is fun when your team is up by 25 though lol
