2024-25 Announcer Thread

UK and Florida is a good game. In the last few minutes Bilas has been very complimentary of UK’s defense. Florida has 95 points. 🤔
 
He was a bit tongue-tied today, but I agree.
Yeah he tripped over some words. I really liked his flow and Aristide though, and unlike Corey Alexander he did not turn it into stories about him (although he certainly has a lot).

I will admit that the GT teams of the mid-80’s through the early 90’s were so much fun to watch and they didn’t seem like jerks. I would like to see him do well

The 89-90 team with Oliver, Scott, and Anderson is one of my favorite non-Duke teams.
 
I thought Oliver was awful. Slurring and stumbling over words, repeating the same thing over and over. Sounded like high school AV Club
 
I say give Oliver a break. He wasn't perfect at all. But as people say above, he's no C. Alexander! I'd take him any day over that Wahoo. And Brennaman was apparently sick as well, so Oliver had to do double duty at times. I thought he was fine, given the blowout nature of the game.

Whoever it was pronouncing butchering YiÄŸitoÄŸlu as ideoglu was annoying. Not even remotely close. Btw it means son of the brave. You are getting good bucks to do the game, invest 5 minutes in to learning how to pronounce it. Granted it is not the easiest one with two silent g's but I would love to make their money and be inconvenienced to learn some names. Also in Turkey we call people with their first names so hje could have just done that which is much easier (Samet -- pronounced like some aet)

Or he could have done like Boeheim and just called him The Big Guy.
