Chief's Briefs

[Chief00]

Great road win. Adams and Purvis played great. Facey and Jackson good enough to win.

Brimah , as a senior captain, needs to be able to stitch together a game. His basketball IQ and lack of true work ethic ( studying video, correcting repeatable mistskes) is preventing him from doing that.

Overall, whenever we came back - we committed a dumb foul, silly unforced turnover or left a good 3 point shooter defended. But, then Adams and Purvis just carried us.

Doris Burke should stay with the woman's games - she is ok - but learn nothing from her.

Enoch continues to be a disappointment as Glen Miller track record continues. He doesn't cover his man and then pushes off on the other end.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Doris Burke is great.

 

[EBonz30]

Doris Burke is great.

She is, by far the best female announcer I ever heard.

 

[Stainmaster]

Doris Burke should stay with the woman's games - she is ok - but learn nothing from her.

Something something political correctness, something something good old days, right Chief?

 

[Chief00]

She is, by far the best female announcer I ever heard.

So what did you learn from her after you strip out the cliches?

 

[Chief00]

Something something political correctness, something something good old days, right Chief?

Is there some computerized Rosetta Stone which I can use to translate this?

 

[EBonz30]

So what did you learn from her after you strip out the cliches?

Didn't say she had her best game, the whole ESPN production was very poor, don't blame Doris for that.

Like I said, not that means so much, but she's the best female announcer in the sport.

 

[zyron]

Doris Burke is great.

She would be better if she learned to stop talking for every single second of the game. She literally never stops talking.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

So what did you learn from her after you strip out the cliches?

That you could lack the self-awareness to say something like this about someone else is what makes you chief.

 

[Chief00]

Didn't say she had her best game, the whole ESPN production was very poor, don't blame Doris for that.

Like I said, not that means so much, but she's the best female announcer in the sport.

EBonz30!- Fair enough.
Oka4Prez and Stairmaster now - your turn - what did you learn from the great Doris?

 

[joober jones]

I posit Facey missed that 2-footer for the purpose of suspense.

 

[Chief00]

She would be better if she learned to stop talking for every single second of the game. She literally never stops talking.

I agree - quality over mindless dribble

 

[joober jones]

She is, by far the best female announcer I ever heard.

Kara Wolters is better. We need to keep this in the family.

 

[Chief00]

Kara Wolters is better. We need to keep this in the family.

Actually, maybe even Rebecca Lobo is better.

 

[Rico444]

How about we just say that Doris Burke is a good announcer in general and not qualify it with her gender? I'd much rather have her calling our game than someone like Tim Welsh.

 

[Danzz]

She would be better if she learned to stop talking for every single second of the game. She literally never stops talking.

how many women do you know like that? I know thousands.

 

[JonnyRI]

How about we just say that Doris Burke is a good announcer in general and not qualify it with her gender? I'd much rather have her calling our game than someone like Tim Welsh.

That's the worst compliment of all time.

 

[blackbird]

She is, by far the best female announcer I ever heard.

Kara Lawson is considerably better. She's my favorite commentator, period.

Doris used to be a lot better. I'm not sure why she regressed, but it seems an ESPN thing. And it's not like Doris is any worse than a huge majority of the male commentators. (Including the one she was with.)

 

[uconnell]

She is, by far the best female announcer I ever heard.

No, Kara Lawson is the best. Doris is close but blabs too much.

 

[EBonz30]

Kara Lawson is considerably better. She's my favorite commentator, period.

Doris used to be a lot better. I'm not sure why she regressed, but it seems an ESPN thing.

Doris is very good at NBA.

 

[blackbird]

Doris is very good at NBA.

That's probably why in itself. College ball is likely not her priority any longer.

 

[gtcam]

I would rather listen to Doris Burke over Dickie V, Fran F, Welsh, the RAT and a whole bunch of others
She knows basketball but isn't the best when doing play by play
It was tough for her and everyone today - ESPN treated it like a Selection Sunday show with a basketball game in the background

I learned as much from her today as I do by reading some people's game briefs (not saying who)

 

[UConnDan97]

I think that some are confusing Burke's quality commentary with the fact that ESPN, I'm sure, decided to have the commentators spend 45 minutes talking about the ACC.

Her basketball information is always solid and insightful. The ACC nonsense was painful, especially when considering that both fanbases during tonight's game want the ACC to go fark itself...

 

[August_West]

I agree - quality over mindless dribble

Drivel chief, drivel

 

[UConnDan97]

Drivel chief, drivel

Once during a game, I was called for a double-drivel...
