Dear Doug Gottturd and Jimmy ''UK'' Dykes

[MrSplitshot]

You were both wrong about Louisville checking out early. You slammed them hard and you both were wrong. Did I think they would get this far...NO...And I'm actually fairly shocked by it. I heard Gottturd say quote..''Louisville is the weakest 4 seed in the tournament and will probably be checking out in the first round for the third year in a row'' unquote.

Heard Jimmy ''I have no idea how you got to be an basketball analist'' Dykes say..quote '' Louisville will be sent home by the first team that doesn't turn the ball over'' unquote...

That has already been de-bunked. Why do some guys on TV show how much they hate certain teams and love other ones. We do it sure, but we aren't being paid a big check to call it down the middle. Below is my list of commentators that I think totally **** at what they do.

1. Doug Gottturd
2. Jimmy ''SEC'' Dykes
3. Digger ''Big 10'' Phelps
4. Vern ''Can't pronounce names right'' Lundqest
5. Jay ''ACC'' Bilas

I agree with you.

Doug Gottlieb is a tool, Dykes (although he used to be an assistant coach at UK) is a dipstick, Phelps I can't stand...Lundquest is senile...
but I'm fairly okay with Jay Bilas. Bilas is pretty smart and I think he has shown the ability to put his ACC bias aside when the facts are the facts.

And all kidding aside about Louisville - I actually wanted to buy them in our annual Calcutta, because I thought they had the potential to win a few games this year. If they keep playing like they are playing, I think they can find a way to eek out a couple more.

How could you all overlook the trainwreck that is Bobby Knight commentating...He may have been a good coach and knows his x's and o's but has the personality of a rock...He should have retired to hunting and fishing after his stint at IU

This tournament needs Gus Johnson and **** Enberg.

Bilas is ok.

Gottlieb is a tool, but he is a natural at that gimmick - probably because he's like that in real life.

I like Digger Phelps, not because he is a good analyst though. I like him cause my wife does for some reason - I think it's the whole tie/highlighter coordination thing. Whatever, she can watch it with me and not be totally bored.

Vitale in the 80's and 90's was great.

And I like Knight because he actually tries to analyze the game from a coaches perspective, even though you could fit his personality in a thimble and still have plenty of room for a thumb.

And I loves me some Bill Raftery.

Agreed!! A great Coach but terrible to listen to and watch. His I'm bored and not gonna show emotion (unless it's anger) is old.

He sounds sometimes like he's being MADE to call a game, like he has a gun to his head or something..
