Announcer said the Vanover should be perfect against UW with his jump shot skills.
Like to know Eric's take on this. I have no problem with him sitting. Once game is clearly over put him in for target practice.

Who are these husky hacks on the microphone?bearister said:
Well, at least the color commentator has abandoned all pretext of not being a cheerleader.

Is ours the only basketball court/floor now without some sort of montage? That said, what montage would you deem appropriate?

Sueing's 3 shot looks like he's trying to make a basket on one of those 12 foot carnival hoops with the slightly-too-small rim
Both announcers were terrible (I think we were assigned the 5th string) and the color commentator was an unabashed homer.ColoradoBear said:Who are these husky hacks on the microphone?bearister said:

Does the color guy not understand regular fouls cannot be given via replay? Stfu already about it. Is he famous enough that the play by play guy won't corrent him?
finally, something for my epitaph. My wife thanks you.bearister said:KenBurnski said:

He is a good player with shooting mechanics that doom him to inconsistency.

Folks, can you help a brother out next time?
I couldn't watch the game because of kid commitments, but I got home at 4:30. Tried to skim this game thread to get a feel for what happened but, with all due respect, it wasn't very informative. (And who knows, these days, if a men's basketball game is even going to make the BI front page?)
I know, I know, everybody wants to be the color guy, but nobody wants to do play-by-play.
Just sayin'...
Eric, I was sort of semi-tongue-in-cheek chiding the whole group, but the more you contribute here, the better, as far as I'm concerned. You strike just the right balance of "optimistic fan" / "realistic analyst". Same with MoragaBear on football.EricBear said:
Fair request. Will tighten that up.
Thanks. Loved the line about the "heady adjustment". Hope our staff was taking notes, lol.Civil Bear said:Big C said:

- Huskies start out 1-11 from 3 and Cal is up 10 midway thru the 1st half. Huskies already in the double-bonus.
- Erik can't find the fire alarm.
- Huskies make a heady adjustment to stop missing and start making threes.
- Huskies make 9 of their next 10 threes and with 7 more free-throw attempts than the Bears, the Huskies lead by 1 at the half.
- Huskies stretch the lead to about 7 early in the second half and the Bears are still scrapping but are on a life-line.
- Huskies soon get it to double digits and the Bears call it a day.
- Even more annoying than all of the above is the homer color guy. Be glad you missed it.
p.s Thybulle is the most impactful player in the PAC12. He's a more athletic Jorge with more height and length.
Yeah, but the problem is that he is absolutely incapable of scoring. He even misses easy layups.Big C said:I'm guessing his "battling", which he also probably been doing in practice, is what earned him a start. While I've often been critical of his play, good for him, still battling, in his 4th year in the program, under trying circumstances!EricBear said:
Don't know what it looks like on tv, but Roman is battling inside. Giving up about 30 pounds, but he is quick and active so far.

Big C. How many more games do you think you will attend. I am going Thursday. After that, not sure.
The bolded part, I totally disagree with :-) This sentiment got brought up at the football game in the Coliseum against USC this year.... I was like "no, winning in 2004 and 2006 and 2007 and... winning those games would NOT have taken away from the sweetness of this game!"Big C said:(fify)oskidunker said:

I have about 2/3 of a season ticket (about 12 of us split up 8 season tickets). I plan on going to all the remaining games that I have tickets for. I've been through enough crappy Cal football and basketball seasons to where one more isn't going to phase me. It'll seem that much better, down the road, when we're good again.
That said, I'm damn glad I didn't decide to make my first-ever visit to the Pelouse last Thursday. A man can only take so much.
