And nobody's there to scratch him...


May be the dumbest thing I have ever heard an announcer say. And considering the competition that's saying something.
 
Haha I heard that nobody's there to scratch him line, and thought, is this guy serious? He said similar things as well, I think it was Rowan that shot a three not long after (that he missed) and he said something along the lines of "does he have a scratch? Oh no"

I was surprised (although I probably shouldn't have been) at how giddy the announcers were early when it was 23-10. They seemed to lose their luster once the heels went up by 20 though.

I don't remember that line. But Brando had a terrific line late in the first half when Justin scored on a drive where he just kissed it off the glass from a difficult angle. Brando said: "Justin Jackson with the Roberta Flack...killing them softly."
 
Found this on crack ride...I love those jokers when we beat them....


"Just got in from the game. We played great for 10 minutes. Is there a bigger POS than Roy Williams? What sportsmanship by that SOB. With 1 minute left in the game and up by 15 points he calls a timeout and puts his starters back in the game. REALLY. He better watch his step going down dark alleys at night. What a useless turd."


They are not happy with Roy....
 
It irritated me that they kept referring to him as Anthony "Cat" Barber. The guy has a name and he has a nickname; why do we have to hear all the names the entire game? Pretty much 100 % of viewers know who he is.

There certainly were some interesting things said by the announcers last night. "The Brice is Right" was a personal favorite.

Daaaamn. I missed that one too. I watch the games with my kids these days and I often miss much of the commentary because of their hootin' and hollerin'. I DVR the games so I might go back and look for that. I absolutely love that call - "The Brice is right!" I will use that.

I could be wrong but I thought we finished the game with a lineup of Berry, Paige, Britt, Pinson, and Jackson.
 
I seldom think the announcers are really biased either way. I think two fanbases watching the same game could often think the announcers are against their team. I thought the announcers seemed to have fun calling the game last night from what I could tell, though often I don't pay a ton of attention to them.

Yeah and the timeout was with more like 3 minutes left. The same TO he should have called against the evil empire. State was making a mini-run and Roy, bless his learning heart called the TO to calm them down. Good coaching Roy.

Yes! I forgot about that one, I'll have to use that one myself. My gf was on the couch doing work not even paying attention to the game, but looked up when he said that and said "Did I just hear 'The Brice is Right'?"

He's learning...

Yup - and that's all we ask. (ok, maybe not all we ask, but a good portion of it ;))

Roy called another timeout with 1:03 left. I thought the last timeout was for his critics.

Exactly LOL. Y'all get too darn worked up over announcers...

Bonner was just all over himself when moou was ahead. Just another ABCer.
No he isn't lol.

I tend to agree, with Len Elmore being the obvious exception. I do think announcers tend to subconsciously root for the underdog and that's sometimes reflected in their delivery/commentary.
 
Roy didn't have to "learn" anything! He followed the same procedure that was passed on from the genius and best coach in history, DES, when he called a timeout with around 3 min. left. UNC doesn't call timeouts before that point unless it is an emergency. WE should have learned when the team figured it out on the fly in the first half without TOs! Gotty called his and we stretched the lead, Miami called all theirs and nothing changed; why are these not proof that TOs are overrated?

Great win against a true rival! I expect nothing intelligent to ever come from Crack fans so I am not surprised by the quote.
 
We did make a few silly plays down the stretch. At that point the wolpies were not in need of a cattle prod to hit the doors of their tenant palace.
 
Elmore is terrible for sure. He doesn't just hate us though.

I think the only reason Roy called the TOs was because he was pissed.
 
It's not a matter of them being abc'ers. We're in the crosshairs though and represent what they see as rampant corruption in college sports. And that's one of the hot topics of the day. Therein lies their desire to see the NCAA make an example of someone, especially a big time program.

If Elmore hates anybody it should be Wake. I remember when they sent in a hatchet man to pick a fight with him and get him tossed from the game. I cannot remeber the Wake player's name but they had some real fisticuffs.

They were in meltdown mode for sure last night. I saw one where their own fans called the martins the taliban twins. I couldn't stop laughing at that
