I wish he would just use his regular. He sucks.

Agreed. The "Rock Chalking Rim Rocking Dunk" thing with some weird ass nasal inflection is not fun to listen to

I used to LOVE listening to KU basketball/football games on the radio...I know Hanni is a true Jayhawk, but he makes it tough to listen to sometimes.

The too-clever-by-half idioms are the problem. Completely unforced errors, every single night out.

Hanni is mostly fine. He has some negative moments. But he's probably the best KU can do at this time and during the time he was hired as well.

He is too cliché a lot of the times. "Thunder jam" and "He wants a 3, he'll get a 3" are my 2 least favorite things he says, and it's not close.

This is what, the 10th Hanni thread?

He is really great at play-by-play.

People just hate his style. Including me.

we were spoiled for too long by having Bob and Max
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?

He’s too popular for that position.

If you could even convince Harlan to do it, which I doubt, he'd probably demand a million a more. Not sure that would be the best use of a million bucks a year.

I tried to find my old Hanni posts but couldn’t find them.

But Hanni's not paid by KU is he? Isn't he a paid employee of Learfield-IMG and then the school gets approval of his hiring/continued employment?

I'm not sure how it works, but I am guessing the more Learfield spends on Hanni's position, it takes away from the profits split between Learfield and KU.
