Sue and Diana Show

If there's booze involved, definitely not. If there's no booze, then probably not. :p

I would assume ESPN has them on a few-second delay for bleeps.

It didn't seem like they caught McCoughtry when she swore while she was a guest during the Louisville game. I didn't really catch anything that seemed off-colour overall.

I liked the show and their guests. I watched it in its entirety during the first semi-final game. I went back to ESPN for the UConn game. Well done Sue and D!

That's too bad. They were great during the UConn-Stanford game. Breanna Stewart was one of their guests. Kelsey Plum was great too.
AgStatesman said:
Am I correct to think they were definitely enjoying adult beverages in those Red Solo cups?
Expand ...
Oh most definitely. Plum's reaction after taking a sip and DT saying that "she's been blessed with the solo cup" had me howling.

ESPNU, the same time as the game (930PM). No idea how much of the game itself they'll be showing there.

The game played the entire time ( both games, actually). But I was hoping for Diana and Sue to talk about the game, and how their experiences related to it. Instead, they were off on other topics ( probably not to compete with the broadcasting crew on ESPN). Frankly, everyone tuning in wanted to watch the game. Not hear a discussion about pay inequality ( men v women at pro level ) or any other normally interesting topic. So I couldn't watch it more than 30 seconds.
 
Tremendous watch. Saw late night on demand via ESPN+. Praiseworthy & big confidence booster for UConn players Christyn & Evina re: their value & proper draft stock.

Concur with them that CW will actually be better in W than college given how game differs in pros.

the Sue Bird/Diana Taurasi broadcast has been even better than the ManningCast was all season

Damned with faint praise!

For those who wanted a straight up game broadcast, they had the option as you said. Some others may have wanted to be distracted a bit . Everyone wins this way!

Please delete me from your "everyone" list, as well as any "nobody" or any other definitive lists you keep. Thank you!
 
If you want to watch the game, then you wont want to watch the Sue and Diana show. They really dont talk much about the game but its super entertaining. I watched them instead of the 7:00 game but I wanted to watch the Huskies without their interference. Both shows were on and you could chose if you wanted the real broadcast or the S&D show. I got them both on ESPN.

I thoroughly enjoyed their show. Made me less anxious with their laid-back approach. I can always find the 'serious broadcast' replay later.
Expand ...
I kept them on for the entire UConn game. I get so anxious watching, and being able to listen to them definitely kept the stress down...until about 2 minutes to go when I had to mute and turn the screen at a 90 degree angle (can’t see game but can peek at score).

Watching and commenting on basketball. I am sure we are safe.

Not really. Of course half the time they are speaking in code. The target demographic loves it I'm sure. Two of my favorite people, but not when they are together with their buddy ... booze.

Got to admit, I thought they would dive into the details of the game.
 
Sue, Diana and Geno weigh in on comparing Paige to Diana

I like Diana pointing out the heart Paige had in the NCSt game since she was struggling through much of the game until 4th Q

We have 2 televisions and DVRs. On one we recorded the “real” broadcast, the other with Sue and Diana. The best of both worlds. I don’t watch the game live, my blood pressure goes up too much.
 
Apparently they threw a lot of digs at a lot of targets, including their former coach. Geno was asked about their show at a tournament presser, and was asked if he recorded it and would watch it later. Never one to pass up an opportunity to give it back in kind, Geno said, with a smirk, no, he was not recording it, and there was less than zero of a chance he would watch it. Then something like "I don't pay attention to ANYTHING these guys say."
 
ESPNU is replaying the show right now (1:30-3:30). Sorry for the late notice.

does anyone know who the guests are going to be today? (championship game)? thanks
 
Not at all for me. Fine for a regular season game. But for a game to decide who plays for the national championship, too much mindless prattle.

I'd have perferred some actual tactical analysis, as an alternative to Lobo, perhaps with some personal history of being in these games, in these moments. Especially Taurasi and her freshman experience v Notre Dame in the semi-final, how it impacts players, instead of (for example) an in-depth discussion of grilled cheese, tater tots and donuts.

With the Manningcast, the focus is largely on the game itself, with them reacting to it.

This is just the first one. Of course they have catching up to do. I am sure more in-depth analysis will come. So many enjoyed it (like me). You simply don’t have to watch it. There is no wrong way for them to host their show. They’re doing it their way and that is right.

Couldn’t stand some of the nattering of the other commentators on Foxsports or ESPN. Talked about everything EXCEPT the game.
I would have enjoyed hearing what SB & DT had to say if it weren’t distracting from the game.
Maybe next season give them a show.

Hence this board to express opinions. Hence "...for me."

I watched a bit during the South Carolina-Louisville semi, and UConn-Stanford this afternoon, after the fact. For me, the game was almost irrelevant, just a bunch of friends enjoying each other's company. Great, except, for me, with what was at stake, it served to reduce the game itself to little more than an afterthought, or background noise.

Given a positive result, perhaps fun after the fact. During the game? Ryan Rucco and Lobo, for me.
 
I watched Sue and D for the first game and then switched to regular ESPN for the second. They were really enjoyable, but not for the serious basketball fan.
 
I guess I’m different. I loved the show. I really enjoyed some of the storytelling and hearing a lot of things about college and pro ball we don’t normally hear. I didn’t watch during the UConn game only because I record games I can’t sit through and do something else.

I loved it too! It really took the edge off and made it feel more relaxing. You could still watch the game while listening to some pretty funny content from two people you admire. Maybe some viewers struggle multitasking? Less nerves for me
