God Help Us: Look Who Our ESPN2 Announcers Are For Tonight's Game

For the life of me I cannot understand how he keeps his job.

It's almost like the game is a distraction to these guys.

The play by play guy just keeps blowing him off. Even he knows Walton sucks

Jason made a comment at the start about his career being on the line working with Walton.

Walton is horrible tonight, even for him...........

I knew we were in for a long night when the show opens with Walton doing the hula. No way to unsee that image.

Go ZAGS

God Help Us: Look Who Our ESPN2 Announcers Are For Tonight's Game

Came to watch basketball, and I ended up learning about volcanoes. Can’t say I have had that experience before when watching a game...

How true...one of life's mysteries. It's one thing when he rambles on about everything but the game at hand. However, tonight he won't even allow the other guy to do his job! I would say, without a doubt, this is the worst "performance" from Walton I have ever heard.

Anybody know how many turnovers the Zags had the 1st half? I ran out of fingers.

Bill Walton isn't good, but it is pretty hilarious hearing the interaction with him and Benetti.

Where else are you going to hear about the beach of the game?

That was the worst watching experience I’ve had in 23 years of watching Gonzaga Basketball. Bill Walton is the worst announcer I have ever heard. Miss me with his “schtick”, he’s a bumbling idiot and I never want to sit through that again. Thank God we won.

Do not like Walton as an announcer! That was just agonizing!

After the 5 minute diatribe about Volcanoes in the first half... Bill had me thinking about our boy Heister

It is a complete mystery to me....it is a insult to anyone who wants to watch the game...

"That guy should play more" (referring to Jeremy Jones)-- the only thing he said all night that I liked. I don't get what the production director and ESPN are thinking with this guy. It is as if they thought they were here to put on a travel show and a basketball game broke out. If they were going to do that they should at least have the decency to get Brooke Burke in there. They should muzzle Walton! Wild on Basketball or send him on a really long bike ride to his favorite volcano. It was hard enough to watch all of the ticky tack foul calls and to have it narrated by Dazed and Confused Walton was almost too much.

Walton legitimately did not know that both feet had to be entirely outside the restricted area on the block/charge call. As a professional basketball player and announcer, I honestly do not know how this is possible.
