It was Oliver's coaching

If I have to listen to Vern to get to hear Raftery, thats an okay trade by me. Love hearing Raftery call games.

Amida Broma , according to Vern.

It's French - Nap - (long) ee - (long) aa

Very true but then our coach would be Olivier (like the deceased actor).

I heard that too. stupid verne

I find the Oliver thing so bad that it's funny. From this point forward I propose that Oliver is a perfectly acceptable second name for KO. At least the initials still apply, so Verne has that going for him, which is nice.

Why not just put kevin harlan with bill raftery…that'd be epic. Would the world implode?

I would literally not walk away from the TV for one second.. not even to pee. And also, you could tell Verne knows NOTHING about UConn.. when Deandre made 2 threes in the 1st half, he acted shocked. I mean the kid only shot 44% from downtown on the season. On the 2nd one, I thought Verne was gonna wet himself and Raftery is like geez, look at a scouting report. The kid can shoot.

Main man, Verne.

If Verne puts the syrup on the table after the pancakes it'll definitely be too late.

So glad we signed Olivier. Shaka who?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Those two were terrible last night. I almost fell out of the chair when called him Oliver. That wasn't long after Raftery compared Bumbry to Dr. J.... Seriously Bill?

Looked like him and played like him. Pretty obvious comparison in my view.

One thing I found refreshing about Lundquist. Television announcers are supposed to do promos as if they believe in them. Lundquist treated a few of the promos he had to do with bemusement and sarcasm. Good for him!
