Gus Johnson doing the game tonight

[Mr. Magoo1]

He wasn’t his usual terrible self but maybe I was just happy with the way the game was going.

 

[RUforester72]

Like Gus for BB. Not for FB.

Did he do our game vs Purdue in football?

 

[Mr_Twister]

We want Bardo! We want Bardo! Etc.

Years ago it was we want Bardot.

 

[RU848789]

Like Gus, love Bardo

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Not a Gus fan, but thought he did a good job tonight

 

[RUnTeX]

At one point he was gushing about Myles and what a great person he is and if i heard it correctly he said something like "if I had a daughter I'd introduce her to him"...LOL

 

[Mr_Twister]

Gus Johnson ... Detroit MI native.
I think he does a great job.
It’s easy to be a critic.

 

[satnom]

Gus acting like a NCAA game for a regular season game no thank you.

Gus for NCAA game I like.

Bardo all day every day.

GO RU

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

It’s easy to be a critic.

His screaming spewing forth out of my TV for 5 yard runs (when you think someone just won a national championship) can be a bit over the top shall we say.

 

[RURM85]

A pleasure listening to Gus last night. Real excitement and passion for his job. Doesn't pretend to know it all and shows a real curiosity for the games and people.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

As a big “Bardo” guy: Gus was just fine last night. Some of you are too much.

I didn’t say he was perfect or Keith Jackson.

 

[mildone_rivals]

He was fine. Way better than others have been. He's not Bardo, but I'd put him in distant second place in my list of favorite announcers this season.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

To be clear, as stated above, this is my official position on last night's game: "Not a Gus fan, but thought he did a good job tonight."

 

[G- RUnit]

He was fine last night. Pleasantly surprised.

 

[MadRU]

Gus referred to Paul as a sharp shooter. Love Paul but never heard him described as a sharp shooter.

Bardo is a color guy.
Johnson does play by play
Different jobs.

I loved him on the call last night.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Gus referred to Paul as a sharp shooter. Love Paul but never heard him described as a sharp shooter.

So far this season, Paul is 46.4% FG%, 64.3% FT%, 37.0% 3PT%.
Perhaps, if we give Gus the benefit of the doubt, Gus thinks Paul is our team’s best overall shooter?

Then I want both of them for all our games the rest of the season. Make it so!

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Gus is and was terrible. His lack of knowledge about our team was obvious.

Did he call the game in-person from the RAC press box, or from at home?

From LA. He lamented the inability to be at shoot around to talk to the kids.

You could hear that in the call, unlike “Doc’s” NHL playoff calls which were amazing..plus not used to hearing Gus call a blowout, he was always at his best for crunch time in close NCAA games..
