Doris Burke

[superjohn]

Basketball Hall of Famer, really???

 

[Huskybass]

Love Doris Burke. Happy for her.

 

[polycom]

She was a good college basketball player and she won the broadcasting award what’s wrong with the selection?

 

[andy34]

She's been one of the best at what she does - for both men and women's college basketball, both NBA and WNBA, for close to 20 years. Great for her.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Yeah, she's better than half the guys in her field

 

[HawkHusky]

Exactly. Very few people know MBB and WBB better than her. Much deserved.

Congrats Doris!

 

[Fishy]

She wasn't inducted - she received a media award from the Hall of Fame.

The Curt Gowdy Award - it's given out yearly.

 

[StepbackCity]

I’m not a big fan since she thinks every college basketball player is an NBA player. Remember when she called Purvis clutch?

To each his own, but at least she does the work. I'll take overly optimistic. Half the national guys seem to be phoning it in when we are on the court.

 

[superjohn]

This Beth Mowins doing the Monday Night game sounds just like her and also never learned the lesson that less is more.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Doris is fantastic.

 

[UConnStats]

It’s really funny how much of the country still thinks that was Doris Burke the whole night. People are roasting her on twitter right now for Beth Mowins’ call of the Jets game. Clowns.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Doris Burke is one of the best in the business.

No...she said "...this Ferrari is in need of a clutch bad!"

She does sound exactly like her. She sounds like she's trying to sound like a baseball play-by-play guy from the 40's.

She does. My biggest complaint is she is super repetitive. She’ll go back to the same well like 7 or 8 times in one game

 

[Rico444]

Yeah, she's better than half the guys in her field

She pronounces all of our players' names correctly, which puts her ahead of half the field right there. Not to mention she does her homework and is pretty insightful.

 

[BlueMAB]

I don't know how anyone could hate on Doris Burke, absolutely one of the best in the business.

 

[JB75]

I’m not discrediting Doris’s accomplishments but I really don’t like her voice. And not really trying to look at her on the screen either. No offense Doris

 

[JB75]

Bring back ron perry and mike Gorman to big east hoops. I mean aac. Lol

 

[JB75]

So psyched for this season but still can’t believe joe d not doing the games. Crazy

 

[JB75]

Funny you say that I thought it was Doris doing the Jets game too last night - hilarious

You sound like a great guy.

 

[SubbaBub]

If Dickie V is in, then so should Doris.

 

[tower1]

Yeah, she's better than half the guys in her field

She also runs her mouth twice as much as anybody in her field.
