I don’t know who these 2 announcers are, but they are clowns. The one guy has been very condescending
ESPN announcers Miami game
- Thread starter red sail
- Start date
I actually think they know our team well.
Despite your blessing, the color guy is annoying.
” in sixth grade they get shoes” cmon.

Hearing how irrelevant Rutgers was for years was a bit hard to hear, no matter how true it may be.
Nothing is more predictable on a fan message board then a thread complaining about the announcers
Sometimes justified, but often overblown

That comment is exactly why I posted. The back handed compliments, I could do without.
I waited awhile before posting - but the tone of the voices pisses me off. Clearly want Miami - espn
The tone of the one guy one puts me to sleep. I have no problem with what they're talking about.
Crispin was dead on. Needed to put them away up 10, not “buy minutes” with bad lineups.
I hate crispin 
he says the dumbest stuff
he says the dumbest stuffThe play by play was pretty monotone .
I think both of them said they live in jersey.
Crispin is good

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but basketball isn't like football in that refs are "from" a certain conference. Basketball refs work games across many different conferences, I think.
I think you're right, because my man Ted Valentine was like a bad penny always turning up somewhere.
That was particularly stupid and there is no shortage of better things to complain about if you want to complain about youth basketball or AAU
They really didn't say much that was not true. Rutgers WAS irrelevant forever, so pointing that out to show what kind of job Pike has done was ok. Go back a few years and watch some of the Northwestern games. They too were irrelevant forever until they made their run to the NCAAs. Unlike them though, RU has been back.
Bad lineup? Yeah.... it was, and there are many posts on these boards blaming Pike for his substitution last night. Unfortunately until PM is back, they will have some bad lineups out there. I dont think Pike can do the line changes with Reiber, Miller, Simpson, and Wolfolk on the floor at the same time.
Mispronouncing Cliffs name about 20 times? Unacceptable for a professional... but perfectly acceptable for a fan like myself
Sneakers in 6th grade... maybe a little exaggeration for effect, but not really. Its ridiculous what some of these high level AAU teams have.
The overall production for the broadcast was awful though. It really seemed like there was just NO atmosphere there and the announcers, with their complete lack of inflection in their voices, did not help.

I didn’t think they mispronounced Cliff. There was a guy in Miami that had a similar sounding nameThey really didn't say much that was not true.

I actually thought they were really good. Knowledgeable and knew the game and both teams well.
Agreed the guy never shut up, he was condescending. “the jersey guy who leaves jersey to go to PennState” Tell me as a Rutgersfan, you don’t know that guy!
We learned way too much about what is inside his head. Never a moment to let the game breathe
Dude was unbearable. The shoes comment was Ridiculous.
