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

It was. I mean, I get that this is his tournament, but the man started a sneaker company. He didn't cure cancer

My favorite Walton ever was when we were playing Arizona a few years ago and he asked about his partner’s dog, Baxter. The other guy had to tell him that Baxter died three years ago. I’m still laughing and the game was like 5 years ago.
 
Actually felt bad for Walton when he was trying to interview Phil Knight. That was painful.

He just made me laugh out loud during the Ala-Mich St. game. After the play by play guy said Alabama was leading the country in rebound margin, Bill asked who they played. He said Jacksonville, Longwood, Liberty (Bill interjected "God save us") and play by play guy continued "South Alabama." Bill asked, "That's in the southern part of the state, right?"

I would never go to a game with someone who is so humorless that Bill Walton ruins their watching experience. That’s just me. And I’ve probably went to more uconn games with the biggest list of vastly different by’ers than anyone here.

I wouldn’t say he ruins the experience. You do get the silver lining of hearing whoever he’s matched up with try desperately to keep him focused and from going too far off on his irrelevant tangents. It really adds an additional level of difficulty to the job.

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.

Hahaha really? I shut the game off to put my daughter to bed.

My take on Walton is that he’s absolutely nuts and is a good color guy to have once in a while, you kind of need to be in the mood, but you don’t want him every game.

That’s a legitimate question. South Florida (USF) is in Tampa. Some of these schools are geographically challenged.

No St Stephen at that show, but they did play Estimated Prophet. My buddy has a bunch of old CDs that he received from a man in a sauna at his local YMCA, on one of them is Prophet Hartford 5/21/77’ and that is a great version of the song.

No St Stephen there either, sort of a rare song live in the mid to late 70’s.

You can recognize that Walton calling a game is absolutely awful without it "ruining" the experience. I enjoyed the game. Walton was brutal. Both can be true.
