LSU/Rice announcer

He sounds like he should be announcing a World Cup match.

Homerism at its finest. Rice getting screwed again at AB Stadium. Ok, why the HELL is there a rally possum on an ESPN camera?

I like the announcers. Some of my favorite lines so far: "This game is tighter than the top string on a Texas fiddle." and also, "It's hotter than a fire ant on a fever blister."

I like Ben McDonald a lot. Very knowledgeable and always with good things to say about State. There's just something about the other guy's voice (I don't know his name) that doesn't seem to fit.

I like Ben a lot too. Talked with him at SEC Tourney, and told him he is one of the best in the business to me. Not only does he convey his knowledge in an understandable and prudent way, like you said he is always complimentary of State. He knows the game very well, and is always very fair.

It was an LSU school produced event just like a regular season SEC Network+ event...just ESPN branded. Every SEC school that hosted, minus Florida was an in-house produced show.

I don't like Ben McDonald because his MLB rookie card is not worth anything like it used to be, including the error card.

I didn't watch much of the game today, but when we were there last month and Ben and the "other guy" (main play by play guy) did the game, I liked both of them. They, along with our announcers, seemed to be about the most unbiased we've seen this year (and ours may be biased, since it's a matter of perspective).

I dunno ... I think he has a good, unaccented (meaning mid-western, non-Southern) announcer's voice. So did Jack Cristal, although he hailed from Tupelo (maybe raised in Memphis?).

Well, pucker up and kiss that one good-bye!
That was Lynn Rollins teaming up with McDonald.

The two guys that did our broadcast were not in-house.

That was the only thing that was different. ESPN brought in different talent to all the school.

That ball was higher than Willie Nelson on a cross country tour

He covers more ground than kudzu

Ben: Half the people are ducking for cover, half are trying to get the ball and half are protecting their nachos and drinks
Lyn: That's 3 halves

He was burrowing like a mole cricket.

Rocket, you really need to brush up on your State History, Hoss.

He also said "tighter than the top string of a Texas fiddle". Thought that was pretty good, though I don't know enough about fiddles to know if it's apt or anything.
