Watching Arizona/Oregon

[11thEagleFan]

Bill Walton is just terrible. Seems like he's trying to impersonate a heel WWE commentator. It's so bad I had to mute it.

He has no idea what the 17 he is talking about most of the time. A SC anchor did an interview with him the other night and said Lunardi has Cal out for now, "What do you think, Bill?"—to which Walton, roughly, replied: "Lunardi is in a dark room somewhere amongst the numbers and the grime and the muck; we're out here in the Conference of Champions, in the light, in rainbows, with Death Valley a little ways away, and Cal definitely belongs in the NCAA tournament."

I have read passages from Hegel that are more straightforward than Bill Walton.

He's just a supreme egomaniac with a large dose of extreme hippy mixed in. Just one or two rungs up the ladder from someone like C34.

Walton used to be a decent to good NBA announcer back in the day but since he started doing PAC 12 games a few years ago it's obvious that ESPN wants him to play this hippy character. It's gotten cartoonish. Sometimes they will even do a split screen with the game on one half and Walton rambling on about whatever while in his tie dye shirt on the other half. I can't stand to watch it.

Indeed, he used to be good and I enjoyed listening to his games. Now it's terrible.

I dont know how Dave Pasch has managed to handle Walton for so many years. I would have flipped my **** a long time ago. He is constantly correcting Walton or bringing him back to reality.
...of course Pasch doesnt believe in evolution, so I guess the odd couple was made for one another.
