Gus not being a part of the madness has really been a bummer
Raftery is the next best thing though.

He has.
It's just a lot of the famous calls you hear of Gus are from the early 2000s.

I'll never forget when Billy Packer destroyed Ben Voogd during the Final Four game against UCLA.

I dunno…I heard him do something recently (Pac-12 Title Game maybe?) where I thought "chill, dude"
And he called Coach K's 1000th win game with a severe hard on, also.
I am just not a fan. If others are, then cool. He just isn't for me.

Billy Packer
Would be the leading face on my Mount Rushmore of most hated announcers. He was a smug know-it-all prick, especially in his later years. Tim McCarver gets the spot right next to him for the same reasons.
I am not sure I hate 2 other announcers enough to complete my Mount Rushmore.

Fantastic!

Enberg, Packer, and McGwire were the shite back in the day. McGwire kept Billy Packer in check. Packer solo was unwatchable.

I like Kellogg, but Raftery should be in that spot.
