It's truely amazing to me that CBS continues to give this guy the shaft with the C level games. I don't even want to talk about how he was replaced calling a regioanl final in the NCAA, even it was only for one year. And it won't change as long as he is at CBS(Can't Broadcast Sports). <BR/><BR/>A couple of years ago I saw aAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-66739404962518120942008-02-11T07:09:00.000-05:002008-02-11T07:09:00.000-05:00I hope the day comes when Gus replaces Jim Nantz a...I hope the day comes when Gus replaces Jim Nantz and gets a crack at doing the Final Four.

A couple years ago he called almost every Bengal's game, I wanted to strangle him by the end of the season. Nothing but an endless stream of hyperbolic drivel and shouting.
