Bill Walton and KU vs UT
- Thread starter BoomerClone

Maybe it was answered during the broadcast but of all the games to take Walton away from his usual conference you pick a game with the worst team in the Big 12?
When the USA finally legalizes marijuana, it should come with a Bill Walton warning label: You could end up like this guy.
If we could harness the power of Frank Mason's intentional neck whiplash move...and somehow convert it to the world's power grids, we could power the entire planet for decades.
I just imagine this is pissing off KU fans, and I'm okay with that.
I hated him at first but now I love him, with the 4 month old I don't get to watch much basketball during the day so I often catch PAC games and he makes them more interesting.
Living in Phoenix, I get force-fed plenty of Pac12/14/16/12/14 hoops. Walton makes his counterpart very uncomfortable, but as a mostly non-biased fan with these teams, it's hard to deny that he makes it interesting. I sometimes wonder if he knows he's at a basketball game. I think it's fun. Beats the alternative of announcers reading off a cheat sheet and getting it wrong while trying to get it right.
For games that I'm not really all that interested in, Walton makes it interesting, even with his tangents. When he broadcasts a game that I am interested in, I find myself wishing he would just shut up or stick to the game.
I hope Walton never does another KU game ever. That was awful.
Awwwww Tuco. To be fair, I listened to him babble about two minutes and changed the channel. And I wish you no ill will, but I have to admit to being delighted by your dismay!!!
Walton is not some shill in a suit, he does not take a cookie cutter approach to broadcasts.
He thinks his audience is smart enough to know that down for 4 with a minute and a half to go a team needs a defensive stop, and yet most color guys will say, the need a defensive stop.
No ****.
Keep up the good work Bill
Yes, those intelligent fans would much rather listen to him blabber about some concert he went to 40 years ago.
The best basketball games to watch are when you don't remember who the refs or the tv commentators were. I enjoy watching basketball because basketball entertains me. I don't need to listen to someone have LSD flashbacks to perk up the broadcast. I lived in Colorado from 22-25 and have enjoyed a lifetime's worth of laughing at brain dead hippies. The game is enough for me.
Amen. If he's at the game, I'm watching. He's not only entertaining, but maybe the best and smartest college basketball player of all time. So when he comments on strategy or plays, I kinda take note...
