Dave Pasch and Bill Walton calling the UConn/Arizona game.

[husky8273]

Imagine Walton and Doris Burke doing a game together

gotta see that!

 

[RedsoxCowboys]

I'm glad I will be at the game, and not have to listen to Bill Walton talk about the Grand Canyon, and how beautiful the Red Rocks of Sedona are. Dave Pasch is decent.

Best news I've heard today. Maybe Walton will talk about taking peyote buttons in the desert. Now I am really looking forward to staying up for the game.

 

[Guapo]

Some people don't like Walton, but I think he's entertaining and different.

And I don't think it's schtick.

 

[methodology]

My prayers have been answered. All hail Bill Walton

Oh it's definitely not schtick.

Awesome. I listened to Joe D call the Arkansas game and couldn’t bring myself to watch the replay so I haven’t heard Walton call a UConn game since last year. Love listening to that crazy dude.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I can't stand Walton. He used to call just about all of Arizona's games a couple years ago. It was unbearable. Gotten a bit of a break from him so far this year. UCLA alum Don MacLean has called several of the games. I'd take him or anybody else (even Dickie V) before Walton. I can only take so much pointless rambling about the desert, the family dog, book recommendations, hugging trees, etc. etc., none of which has anything to do w/ the game that is going on.

 

[CAHUSKY]

I'm glad Ill be at a birthday party with the game on without sound. Walton is hideous.

 

[8893]

There is nothing I love more about Walton than how divisive he is. I find it to be a pretty reliable litmus test of compatibility. If someone likes him, there's a pretty good chance that I will like them.

 

[Kemba429]

Whos ready to hear about the CONFERENCE OF CHAMPIONS!!!

 

[Waquoit]

If we play just halfway decently, Walton will be able say that Ollie has improved the team since he saw them last.

Bill Walton is the Chief of college basketball commentators...
Both are self-centered, obnoxious, and terrible at what they do... yet somehow they manage to stick around for some weak entertainment-value.

I'll have the game muted tomorrow night.

 

[EBonz30]

Walton is the only individual I actually dread listening too, I will have to shut off the sound, not that I dislike him as an individual, he’s just the worst announcer I’ve ever heard because he wants to talk about everything besides the actual event or game.

The similarities between Chief00 and Walton begin and end at the blaze strategy, of which they are both huge fans.

 

[Huskybass]

I love listening to Walton. Even if UConn gets blown out tomorrow night, his tangents will make the game somewhat enjoyable.

Potential for a drinking game there. Might not be conscious for the end of the actual game though.

If you happened to just randomly run into Walton and have a conversation with him, no doubt it would be endlessly entertaining. But his lack of focus on the game he is calling is beyond distracting.

 

[Stainmaster]

I've never been happier to be watching a game at home.

Even i'm divided on Walton. I had the chance to sit next to him at the McDonald's All-America game many, many years ago and he was awesome. LOVED him in person, HATE him on tv.

 

[Purple Stein]

I'll have the game muted tomorrow night.

How will you learn about the Columbia River?

I can't stand him doing the game. So pretty much proof of concept.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Don't need Bill for that. Woody Guthrie wrote some songs about the Columbia a long time ago.

 

[UConnNick]

He hasn't really seen UCONN play yet. You can't fact check names of national parks in Oregon throughout an entire game and pay much attention to the game, especially when your brain is fried from all the drugs you've taken during your lifetime. He will be an unabashed cheerleader for the Wildcats, at least when he's not talking about the Sonoran Desert.
