Raftery Appreciation Thread

[DRBackup]

The absolute master. Best line of the night after Diarra's injury: "Boy, Gene's had a nice easy night, huh ?"

Any news on Hass? Hoping zero concussion issues.

 

[Waquoit]

He has solid analysis and he picks up what's going on the court faster than the others. I'm having an issue with Ian Eagle. He's trying too hard to be a chucklemeister.

I liked hearing from both Grant Hill and Raftery. Raf is always great, but Grant added quite a lot to the broadcast.

That's the thing about Raftery. He doesn't need a setup guy. Goes from analysis to analogy in a snap.

Seemed like it was a just a cut to the forehead. Doubt he would have been doing postgame interviews if he had a concussion.

Ian Eagle was still trying to say Purdue still had a chance when we had a 12 point lead with little time left.

Raff is awesome, really enjoy him.

Soo much better than Billy (ACC) Packer.

 

[Vancat]

Organized puppies

 

[SallyH]

Onions!

 

[NEforceUConn]

Samson Johnson!

 

[dvegas]

During the FF last year Raff was calling Newton "Figgy"

 

[Palatine]

Raf is at the top of his game. He tells you a lot without needing to talk every second. He gives you tidbits about players without needing to tell a story. He's great at recognizing tactics and momentum. He is having fun and you can feel it.

[giddyup]

Collect those puppies

 

[brihman]

Hall of fame liver

 

[UConntLose]

His comment about Ian looking at him when talking about the Alabama kid from The Villages in Florida was hilarious!

Lingerie on the deck is still the best.

And it was "Send it in Jerome".

Raftery last night: “It looks like UConn is getting a little tired here”

one second later - alleyoop slam by Castle.

last Sunday (dunno if it was Raftery or Packer): “It’s been a quiet night for Castle..”

one second later - Castle shakes his defender on the baseline for a rim-shaking dunk.

Billy Packer died last year.

It was Billy Packer.

The best.

 

[kobe]

when raf says “look at this kid” about a guy on your team

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Hey @kobe Who are you pulling for tomorrow night?

Raft uses "send it in" often. At least twice last night. Jerome is simply the most famous application.
