ESPN did some switching and now it's going to be Dave Pasch and Bill Walton at the Slim Gym. I really don't know how I feel about this; Walton seems to be biased against the Zags for some reason.

Cannot stand Bill Walton.

I don't need commentary by a guy that seems to be tripping on LSD. His mind wanders way too much and he doesn't talk about the game nearly enough. He talks about flowers, John Wooden, and the PAC 12. Relentlessly. His commentary on the officiating is insane. Disagrees with calls non stop, whether they are correct or incorrect. Every charge is a blocking foul (and a "flop"). Every "over the back" is "just basketball". His emphasis is never about team basketball, but always about individual superstars. He gets into pissing matches with the poor soul doing play by play....whomever the unfortunate guy may be. He absolutely ruins the game watching experience for me.

I think I'll listen to radio broadcast while watching the game.

I didn't like him at first but now I think he's a refreshing change from the same-old-same-old color guy.

If you listen to the radio, it's about 10-15 seconds ahead of ESPN.

I suggest that we turn the game thread into Bill Walton BINGO.

I hope to learn a lot about Mission Valley foliage tonight

[SorenTodd45]

I plan on being crocked by halftime, so if Bill rambles on, it wlll go in one ear and out the other. Thank God for either Fox or Dickau on Thursday.

Kentucky Tennessee game running way over. Waaaay over!
I hate it when the Zags are on espn. I can always count on missing the beginning few minutes at least.

[23dpg]

Oh man. At 6:45 there’s still 10 minutes left and both teams in the bonus.

[LTownZag]

what station will they bump us to? ESPN U? ESPNEWS?
