It seemed like maybe he covered Baylor and the Big 12 during the season, so he knew more about them and, basically, provided his commentary from that perspective.

Doesn't mean a person can't develop early onset alzheimer's, suffer early effects of CTE, or, more likely, just be biased af. Or just suck at announcing.

Yes as stated before he is not a good announcer in my opinion.

But I’d guess you would also probably be an awful announcer, does that mean you have CTE, or have brain disease?

Hes a dumbass. The worst was when he critcized a perfect nuss pass that anderson dropped for a td in the back of the endzone...very next play nuss threw a fairly bad pass that anderson had to dive for to try and catch and he said "now thats a better pass right there". Dude is a moron. Affirmative action has to be the only reason he has a job on air for espn calling games and "analyzing" the sport.

Most true baws have this “gift”. That and the gift that women just can’t understand and will never achieve. That being the gift to sit and “just think about nothing”.

Guy was super biased. I thought he might’ve played for Baylor the way he was talking

Both announcers were so pro Baylor all game it was sickening. Even with 41 seconds left they were laying out the plan for Baylor to win.


That is kind of there job to keep people interested and eyeballs on the screen.

They were trying to hold onto their audience. I’m an LSU fan, who watched the broadcast, and I don’t think they were any more pro Baylor than they were pro LSU. They spent a lot of time talking about how great LSU was going to be next year and how much talent LSU had this year. I can just about assure you the Baylor fans are complaining that the announcers were LSU homers.

I found both announcers were negative about many plays. Looking for something wrong was not what I wanted to hear. I can see what was wrong.
They did seem to have more problems with LSU doing wrong.

I think he did a bad job but he can probably improve with time.

I actually took huge issue with the production crew panning over to the Weeks family during the injury not once but twice. That was creepier and more detestable than Musburger and Mrs. McCarron.

He's mostly on studio shows, and he's on a LOT of them. I admit I used to have a lot of trouble watching him, all those gums and teeth roaring into the television screen.

Still, he seems like a genuinely likeable guy if you can get past his incessant talking with his hands. He makes Saban look like his hands are tied down. For the most part, though, I like him on the studio shows.

His brother, Emmanuel, is a different story. The very epitome of smugness and arrogance, and completely unlikable.

After the multiple threads on this it’s seems like rg3 Gus and acho have one thing in common to hate for these guys. They are black. Although he is interesting, the hate isn’t worth the next day boredom

No. He’s just that guy sitting next to you that won’t shut up and let you watch the game.

I had no idea who you were talking about had to do a search on the web. Maybe next time add more context so people don’t have to waste time trying to figure out what you’re talking about.
