listening to his interview on wfan. he just said if ND/GTOWN were in Big 10 they would give michigan state competition for big 10 title. i think the guy is arrogant and talks too much but he does know college bball and has called every final 4 i have ever watched.
he's real high on Big East. thinks that pitt-west va game could be reginal final and instead was a conference QF matchup.
interview should be up on wfan.com later

He's called every final four you've ever watched because he was CBS' lead announcer and they had the rights to it.
When Kim Jong-Il wins every single election held, no one says it's because he's a great leader.
I know that this is an unfair comparison. Kim Jong-Il doesn't denigrate every single person who mocks him.

yes, i know that is why he has been lead announcer. and i also know why he got pushed out/retired. but the guy has been right there for all these games and knows his stuff. is he a great guy? no. i heard nantz hated working with him compared to his other football/golf guys. does not seem like a real fun guy. he talks too much and overanalyzes but for me the guy's opinion counts more than any of these other guys on CBS or ESPN.

Doesn't sound like Packer watched ND or GT this year.

Say what you want about him, the guy knows basketball. Cold. Pop in a tape of our game against UNC. He was predicting our comeback minutes before it happened, and at a time, as someone who was at the arena, when it seemed like things were slipping away.

I like Billy a lot better this year because I can't hear him during games. Time for Sean McDonough to go the same retirement route.

Speaking of which - Why is McDonough not covering the BE semis or final? Small favors, indeed.
