He lost my respect when he became a mouthpiece for UNC to avoid the greatest scandal in history of NCAA . While case was being investigated he appeared at a seminar put on by the firm defending UNC . He is trash .
his boss the head of ESPN was UNC man of the year . Obviously he sold his integrity to please his boss .
Same. He’s a lawyer and still sold out for the ACC.

I do not understand how he gets to call so many of our games. Shouldn't he be calling every Duke game he can?

Its so absurd when you think about it. This would be like Larry Bird calling the majority of Detroit pistons games, or Eli Manning calling Patriots games.. you just wouldnt see it. Only Kentucky gets its game called by past rivals lol.

it's insane to have to sync up the game with leach & goose and going thru all the personal difficulty (if you call it that, just PITA really...) but I go thru that so I DONT HAVE to listen to Bilas. been doing it for a long time, when I can catch the live games.

It seemed to me the entire game both announcers were wanting the vols to win.

He’s been really bad for quite a while. Not just about UK but in general. He just finds one thing to drone on and on about.

It makes me laugh whenever some blowhards try to inflate his bloated ego and tell him he should be the commissioner of college basketball.

He never shuts up, by no means is the best anymore in the business.
I’m not sure why you put the word “anymore” in your post, because there never ever was a time when he was the best …despite ESPN’s non-stop efforts to undeservedly anoint him with that status.

fans are so easily offended. this "announcer X is terrible" stuff usually is the result of a 50-50 call that goes the opposite way. like oweh's elbow to the face. bilas thought it was a flagrant, likely because 85% of the time they call any contact to the head a flagrant. listening to the vols meltdown on the radio yesterday (which was great).....they though bilas was a UK homer.

I mean, he went 0-3 on the so-called 50/50 calls that were replayed. Even after seeing the replays.

Both of Pope’s challenges were obvious during real time, yet alone replay (which begs the question…how many calls do these refs miss during a game??). And I’m not sure Oweh even made contact with the UT player.

I only had the sound on for the first 5 minutes or so. However, my brother texted me after the game that Jay was anti UK the whole game.

There’s a better video of this but I couldn’t find it.

I hope a UK fan sneaks up behind JayBiasl and rubs his head at the end of a game he's covering. Don't know why, but I would find that entertaining.
