Keep Steve Brown fire Boler

I have a horrible feeling Locke is being groomed to take over the play by play duties.

Can you imagine putting Harpring's teasing style with Locke's combative attitude? This all equates to a ton of jazz fans watching games with the sound muted.

Good lord I hope you are WRONG.
Locke on TV would make the games unwatchable. I have to miss the games if I can't get in front of a TV now as it is. Because I'd rather not know than suffer through a Locke broadcast.
 
I love Boler, he's like our own Ron Burgundy.
Steve Brown always comes off as a guy who is trying to fit in. Plus Harpring seems to hate him- very bad chemistry.
I dunno, for the play by play announcer part...I don't really care about bball knowledge. They just need to be able to narrate the game. Brown seems to do pretty bad at knowin our own players or the other team.
 
They should do a play by play Reality Show competition. Pick ten people let them do the play by play for the rest of the games this season and the winner gets the full time job next year. It would be a way to add interest to this abysmal season.

I love Locke; he's clearly the best. I don't mind the radio/internet being his domain, but I don't know why he never gets the TV bump when someone's out. Also, why does Harpring miss so many games a year? He like only does homegames. He's got a Phil Jackson contract or something?
 
Boler will miss a lot of Friday/Saturday/Sunday games in the first part of the season because he does College Football. I'll be interesting to see if Harpring does more away games/weekend games once Boler is back instead of Brown. Brown/Harpring definitely don't really work well together.
 
Steve Brown makes me want to puncture my ear drums with sharpened popsicle sticks............

Not only does he got that bball knowledge, apparently he knows something about Ben mclemore's balls.

Talked about them a couple of times in tonight's game.

And waxed philosophical about cousins headband.

Well, I've lived in as many NBA cities, and I disagree with you. So there.

Boler is well below average. Matty has been tainted by him. I thought Boone was fine in his prime. Steve Brown is just shameful.

I actually don't mind Boler. Matt is a bit too combative and probably makes Boler feel bad all the time. No joke. Booner was really forgetful the last couple years but has been much better this year. Steve Brown reminds me of my dad. Just a genuinely nice guy who gets along with everyone. Locke has good knowledge and passion for the game, and he has gotten better working with a team, but he still needs a bit more polish.

Overall, the team is pretty decent. I also like the variety they've been giving us. Although, I don't think I have a favorite. A mix is good for now.
 
Brownie might be a little hard on the ears every now and again but he has solid bball insight and actually understands what's happening. Boler might be great w football but he's lacking a lot at bball.

I like the whole staff overall though. Harping has been great this season.

Zounds!! I told you i had trouble detecting sarcasm. Now it seems i detected sarcasm when there was none intended. Guess that underlines who much i disagree with this quote. Almost all announcers today have quit "describing the game action" which was always their initial responsibility and replaced it with the cult of "personality". Clever (or not so clever) nicknames, interviews while the game is in progress, sophomoric banter, banal phrases and despite franklins endorsement a complete lack of insightful analysis (which should in my opinion be kept to a minimum). They all seem to be auditioning for "Sportcenter". Which is where this cult of "personality" all originated. Watching a telecast today is almost like participating in a fan message board! Oh Yeah, its exactly like that because you actually can participate to a large extent through the internet. It should take a cast of 6-10 to announce game action in a sporting event? Maybe its my age (don't think so) but lately i prefer to watch the games with the sound muted so i can actually key on the "game" without all the peripheral flak.

By the way i do not actually use words such as "Zounds" in daily conversation. Just trying to stay in character.
 
I dot know why Booner gets a free pass. His stuttering drives me nuts. He and Steve Brown were comically bad.
 
sounds like i'm the minority here but brown and booner are heaps better than boler and harp.

it's been good to have a break from those 2.

Booner reminds you of the old days when he did broadcasts with Hot Rod. A reminder of one's youth and how good we had it when Hot Rod was coherent and taking swigs of Jack Daniels between every commercial break. Steve Brown and Boone are like a double negative..... It just doesn't work. Steve Brown reminds me of the following....

I don't know if I'm just imagining this, but on one of the weekend games, it seemed like Steve Brown used the word "body" a lot. I'm glad that college football is wrapping up so we shouldn't get too much of Brownie on play-by-play going forward.
