Is Donny A Jack***?

[MexicoHusky]

I'm curious what others think. I mean, I know the answer is yes.... sorta. I guess I'm wondering if he is for real. Not just in a playful or fun loving sense.

He seems to hover right around the boundary. Crosses the line for a moment. Then comes back. The place I notice it the most is how he treats his broadcast partner. He obviously likes to joke around and that's cool. But he hovers around being not funny or maybe just a tad too rude to his partner. Not a ton today. It's just something I've sensed at times.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. I still love the guy.

Also, in the past some have commented on his impartiality. I have zero issue with Donny not being a UCONN homer. It's his job to be impartial and he's devoted 4 years to us. He paid in full. Owes us nothing.

No keys I hope.

I was going to say cancel the Uber ride but I didn't want to feed the troll.

Give me Gus Johnson, Raff, Eric Collins, Donny, Shulman, Sean McDonough, anytime. I can't listen to Bill Walton for even 30 sec.

Donny was real good today!

Kudos to @NDakotaHusky on being a good sport. Remember folks, Boneyard crucifixions are always in good fun.

I actually feel the Boneyard has gotten nicer in it's old age.

Why does it seem like there's a thread about Donny every time he calls a UConn game??? Why is everything he says or does so under the microscope and criticized?? I don't understand.

Because he's on television and he's not particularly good at it

Man. How many horrible thread titles can one dummy produce?

That's harsh bro.

 

[willie99]

No, I love the guy and I love him doing games. Although he's no Tommy Heinsohn

He represents the program well

He occasionally tries a little too hard to NOT be a homer, but he's fine.

Compare him with, say, Dan Dakich. He might be a zillion times better.

 

[Scoe]

No way Donny is the man, hell I wish he lit that cigar and smoked it on the air.

 

[Huskybass]

I think Donny does a real good job, never understood all the Boneyard scrutiny. The guy is very bright, articulate, and presents himself real well.

Plus, there's also Pam Webber.

When Walton is working, I find a rerun of Two and 1/2 Men, with Charlie of course

WINNING

 

[Hey Adrien!]

The Tim Brando/Donny Marshall duo is excellent!

Whatever @NDakotaHusky perceives, to me, shows not only how much fun the two have together but also how much reverence Donny has for Brando. There's a love between those two and Brando definitely has a good time with Marshall and vice versa.

Heck, in a world where Donny would be our only color commenter, I'd totally sign up for that.
