Wow... love the butler reference

Thank you....that's about the only good one I've come up with in the past 24 hours.

"It's so good to be Young and outstanding." (Not sure which guy it was, probably Brando.)

"Oh It's so good to be Young and outstanding." - Brando How many times does he want to use a catchphrase with young in it in reference to Young?

Please, no more photo montages unless you include the hot Mormon chick. Thanks in advance.

- Telecomedian

I'm gonna have to rewiind the Tivo, but it sure looked like WKU was TRYING to foul to get the last possession - not avoid it idiot Brando.

where's the call on that last drive?

jeez

I hate Klayton Korver and his family. Why do you gotta spell it with a K to match the last name?? It's CLAYTON, spell it right.

If his middle name started with a K...


Yeah. I won't go there. Either way, time for Drake to hopefully win it with the last possession (it will be the last possession right? Eh.) I hope so, though. I have em in my bracket. D:

@anon

maybe his father is Roger Clemens

How can someone be so damn boring during a moment like this? Seriously. 98-98, one free throw coming up, a little over five seconds to go and he sounds like he's bored!

Wow, that last scramble under the basket looked like a 5th grade girls game. Damn mid-majors midgets, get a big man.

Finally, some good games. (And Davidson hadn't beaten anyone halfway decent in at least two years; why'd they have to start today?)

WOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!

Where's your Gus Johnson now!!!!

Well, there goes my third Sweet 16 team. *throws bracket in shredder*

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HOME KLAYTON, GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!

"WESTERN KENTUCKY BENDS, BUT DOOOOESN'T BREEEEAK!"

I think that's what he said. Either way.. winner of the next game better watch out for the upstart Hilltops.

There goes one of my Sweet 16's.

Verne and Bill don't know they're on right now. They keep clearing their throats. Asking for stats about South AL vs. Western KY

Brando called Klayton Korver "Kyle" toward the end of regulation.

Why the hell did so many people put Drake into the Sweet 16? They are not good. WKU is just as talented and there is no way Drake would have beaten UCONN.

Announcers/Anchors/Analysts have been callin him Kyle this whole tournament during highlights and stuff.

I'm guessing Ian Eagle doesn't have the stones to remember one of the greatest players in Austin Peay state history - James 'Fly' Williams.

The Fly is Open
Let's Go PEAY!

Go WKU.

Drake never looked that good when i watched them and I had WKU.

though unforatunately I also had Gonzaga winning today. Wasn't coutning on an entire team losing to two players.

Just listening to the radio broadcasts during the day, but why during the 2/15 and 3/14 games and such, the announcer says "the longer they (15 seed) stays around, the better chance they have at an upset." Well, no kidding.

Graves really knows how to stroke it-Raftery

Serious question - I'm late to the shenanigans around here, but is anyone else experiencing goofy sound problems? The game horns sound like euro police sirens - don't know if it's a broadcast thing or my system.

Someone should market the offense of Austin Peay and the announcing of Ian Eagle as a cure for insommnia.

Quote of the first round from Ian Eagle. Talking about how the anti-Texas crowd had quieted down: "The infectious 'let's go Peay' chants have been flushed away"

Sam, I heard that. That may actually be so awful it's brilliant.

i remember watching clue in 8th grade. between the maid and leslie ann warren....

-dan

AA, I take it this set of games is exciting.

Hey hey, look who it is, my main man SS. RISE AND FIRE!!!!!!!!

John Thompson is calling the UMBC-Georgetown game for Westwood One. Am I the only one that sees a conflict of interest here?

Ha sorry SS....I was trying to get that WKU clip up.

Is it just me (I'm watching on my local CBS station's secondary channel, the primary is fine even though they are showing the same game right now), or does the APSU/Texas feed have a weird warbling going on with the sound? Or at least, did it as it was entering the half?

@ Joe D, STFU.

@Morgan- it sounds ok on my feed(MyNet is our "other" CBS channel), but then I just turned over to the game, so...

@morgan

I referenced the same problem in an earlier post. Must be a transmission issue.

good to see the lazy UConn team from the first two months show up.

Sorry for the delay in posts in this thread. Yep, I'm having the same exact problem. Not sure what it is.

So, the only interesting game is at half. Butler is beating the @#$% out of South Alabama, and Texas and Georgetown are doing what 2 seeds are supposed to do.

"Here's DJ Abrams" - Spencer Ross for Westwood One

Well, I just want to congratulate the CBS production crew during the post-halftime stat recap. As they were coming back from break, the camerman was focused on the cheerleaders of Texas, and continued to move down and down until it became about a 7 second ass shot of the UT cheerleaders. Bless you CBS for making something good out of UT-APSU...

"This ain't Carmen San Diego"-Brando

"This ain't CARMEN Sandiego" - Tim Brando

Why couldn't these games get a real announcer?

"This ain't Carmen Sandiego!" (Brando)

Looks like we may have a 12 v 13 matchup on Sunday. San Diego up 4, 50 seconds left.

Ain't Carmen Sandiego, eh? Well last I checked you ain't qualified to be a gumshoe or even a member of Rockapella, Brando.

Video coming....so bad.

Learn to subtract, Brando. 59-56 does not mean UConn can tie with a 2 or win with a 3.

"A chance to tie with a 2 and win with a 3"...when the score is 59-56, Brando? I mean are you bleepin' serious.

Since when does 59=58?

"And we're tied."- Brando

59-58 SD

"now it's tied" -Tim Brando
UConn was down 3 and made a 2
LOL

After seeing the early games in Tampa, Gus Johnson is throwing something at the hotel room TV...probably Len Elmore.

Dude, anon, shut up. First, you were wrong on the quote, and don't EVER use LOL in a AA comment.

Cheerleaders taunting a player that gets knocked down? They're asking for trouble

NOT COOL, AA, NOT COOL. I was clearly first on the Carmen San Diego comment. How are you gonna go and give credit to spartandan like that?????? Why you gotta do me like that? Don't hate, appreciate.

The good news: Looks like Katie Couric might get pre-empted.

The bad news: It's for the Tim Brando Drunken Monkey Hour!

Joe, it was three of us simultaneously. I don't care who gets credit, but all three comments came in within two seconds. Quit whining.

No, you guys just were too late. Sorry, I'm the rightful contributer of that comment and deserve full credit.

It's all love my friends. You all jumped on that like jackals and I couldn't fit everyone in.

I love you Joe D.

joe d...for being such a douche about it, you deserve none of the credit. It's not like this is a competition.

Oh no, you didn't get credit for something many others clearly heard on an online blog. Your whole year most be ruined. Christ.

"Who knew Connecticut could be knocked out by Gyno (pronouned Geno)?" - TB

God, dude. Go away.

Dude, It's a big deal to see your name on AA. When I contribute I like to get the credit I deserve. Y'all need to stop hatin.

Is it just me, or was there no contact at all on that last foul (the one that sent SD's top scorer to the bench)?

"The trajectory a bit lower than the norm..." - As spoken from a guy who can't handle GED math, Tim Brando.

I dunno if I'd call it a "dagger" when it gives you a 1-point lead with about 20 seconds left, Tim.

"Rob Jones with a dagger of the window pane" - The Wizards announce team questions the use of TB saying dagger here

Uhhhh.. he walked. I didn't know you could put the ball on your hip and take 3 steps. It's not the Association refs.

Joe - watch again. He lifted his non-pivot foot and before it hit the floor, the ball did. That was not a travel.

It doesn't help that the douche announcers do not know the rule.

WOW!

"If it's not Johnson & Johnson, it's likely to be Jackson!" - Brando must be getting a year's supply of baby powder for that plug.

Tim Brando is the worst announcer I have heard in ages. I guess the last 1.2 don't matter - he said it was for the win.

I think with the way Brando has been going, it's pretty surprising he didn't do anything with Gyno Pomaire, too our collective relief, I'm sure.

"FOR THE WIN...with 1.2 seconds left." - Tim Brando

Ed, I think he was talking about the foul with 9 seconds left. The travel on SD seemed pretty blatant to me, two steps before he started dribbling.

Brando makes having testicular cancer seem more enjoyable.

"San Diego makes 13 so lucky in Tampa" -Tim Brando

As a play by play guy, I'm guilty of doing what Tim did on that last shot...saying it was for the win when there was still a second and change on the clock. That's about the only time I'll relate to him.

"San Diego makes 13 so lucky in Tampa!" - TB

Gotta give him that one, decent line!

How bad is it that the worst announcing crews (Brando/Gminski and Bolerjack/Wenzel) got the best and closest games of the tournament?

"You can talk about great shots, y'know Mike Eruzione making a shot against the Soviets in the semifinals. Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge! I didn't sleep for two nights." - Digger Phelps



So BYU taking down Notre Dame in 1981 is comparable to one the greatest upsets in sports history?

Great. Googily. Moogily.

Brando did do a corny line with Pomare when he fouled out... something like "Who thought Gino would do this to UConn?". Ugh.

I've never noticed Brando to be this terrible before.

I generally like Timmy Brando. Living in the Southeast, I hear him do a lot of SEC and ACC games. Buy my God, those puns are awful. One or two wouldn't be bad, but he was a bad pun machine today. Please stop Tim, most of them aren't funny.
