Fran knows the B12 and watches a lot of it so that helps.
He definitely roots for KU to loose but tries to do a good job of hiding it.
I prefer him over most of the guys we get.

I actually kinda miss Musburger.

Some people say

TV trio of Dick Enberg, Al McGuire and Billy Packer was the best ever

Three voices behind the March Madness microphones are one too many, unless their names are Dick Enberg, Al McGuire and Billy Packer.

A little history

When CBS acquired the rights from NBC in 1982, it put an end to the best television trio in basketball history. Enberg remained at NBC, calling the NFL, tennis and regular season college basketball with McGuire alone. The boldly opinionated Packer left for CBS where in time he would tally a total of 34 Final Four broadcasts. But March Madness’ best show on television was over

Once Billy left 27 years later after the 2008 title game, CBS misguidedly hired Clark Kellogg to succeed Packer. One of Jim Nantz’ many strengths is eliciting the best from his analysts. Tony Romo might be the shining example of not only Jim’s ability to seamlessly evoke the most out of his broadcast teammate. What’s more impressive is how effortless he makes it all sound.

But Nantz, now doing his 30th Final Four, squeezed the most he could from Kellogg, Mr. Nice Guy. But there’s just so much he was able to do. Kellogg has lots of fundamental knowledge of the game but shared little expertise. And unlike Packer he had no bite to his commentary. If you listened and got the feeling that Kellogg wouldn’t say anything nasty about a bothersome fly, you’re probably right.

TCU stomped us at AFH.
Would be good to return the favor.
But that won’t be easy with Miller back in the fold.

Tough matchup for us on a quick turnaround. I usually love us as underdogs though.

Worst BB venue in the Big 12. Drowning victim floor color. Bad sight lines. Weirdly aggressive fans unsure of what to make of success or their feelings of inadequacy. Did their parents really love them? How did they wind up on that side of the metroplex? Where is Doyel?

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Man are you right. The Big 12 was healthier to me when it was a one-team show.

Many believe TCU when healthy is the best B12 team. I'm in that group. We'll see tonight who is right by sweeping KU or losing their postulate.

TCU can win by 15pts tonight and I'll still think KU is the best team in the big 12. The resume speaks for itself. Nobody has as many good wins as we have.

the way the league has been going this season. i would expect to lose at tcu.

i figure if we can go 2-2. we should at least get a share. i would be happy with getting a share.

There is a reason we are underdogs.

A win tonight would be huge for this team.

The key to this one is lock in on D early. Especially the 3 pt line.
