Brando and Donny (merged [twice])

[ucp990411]

These are the announcers today. Couldn’t Fox send a better duo for such a big game? How about if stay on topic and talk about the game.

How about if stay on topic and talk about the game.

instead of another 5 minute trip down memory lane. I agree

 

[CL82]

If the game is close they are less likely to ramble.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I like Brando on the call.
I like Donnie in the studio.

Agree on Donny but Brando is really a tough listen nowadays. That said, given it's on big Fox they should spout less insignificant drivel.

 

[kobebeanbryant]

If Donny is on, volume is off.

 

[UCFan1513]

Oh my god what has Donny proven to get a national TV game. I swear someone off the street could do the job he does

 

[Marat]

No issue if you will be at game !

 

[slepers]

More than seven hours before game and complaining smh

 

[CTBasketball]

Just go to the game so you don’t have to hear them.

I think this is the top duo for Big East games on Fox. Haven't paid a ton of attention but seems like Brando gets the top BE game and Gus Johnson gets the top B10 game

 

[Kembacity]

So what is the game, take a shot every time Brando says “bingo, bango, bongo” or “HOW DOooOoOoO you do??!?!”

I like them both in Siberia.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Tough crowd, jeez...

Why couldn't Raftery do this game? He can take a car service home, for chrissakes.

UConn fans' relentless attacks on a former star player who was instrumental in building our program from a regional mediocrity to a national powerhouse raises the question of whether UConn has the worst fans in college basketball.

How about we give the "Donny sucks" threads a rest for a while.

He’s calling Texas @ Houston for CBS

Similarly Gus Johnson is calling Michigan @ Michigan State tonight

Sure, as soon as he stops sucking.

 

[Palatine]

Great, love Donny reppin' the Huskies on the broadcast side. To be honest, I don't really care about the announcers. Don't have much opinion on who is good or bad. Just happy NOT to have to listen to Vitale rhapsodize about Duke for two hours.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Glad I’ll be there in person so I don’t have to listen to him

How about you disappear for a while.

Must be doing a CBS game

And I guess you think Kevin Ollie should still be the coach

 

[Punkbo]

These threads are always funny to me. Donny has a good reputation nationally and Brando has been a well-liked recognizable voice for many years. As UConn fans, we definitely hold Donny to a higher standard. Big East fans who are not UConn fans tend to like him.

Better idea: why doesn’t Donny stop sucking as an announcer when he does our games from now on?

PS- I’ll be at the game so this is a great one for him to be on the mic

 

[auror]

I like Brando's personality and voice (I've loved him for years), but he's been so bad on the call lately. He's probably ready for the pasture. Mis-identifies, no clue what's going on, etc.

Who cares where he went to school?? That’s irrelevant. He’s objectively awful as a color commentator.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Really hoping Donny gets stuck in Hartford traffic. Can someone arrange some last minute road work or something?

Maybe because he is a bad announcer?

Or tell him they moved the game to Storrs
