They never, ever, ever stop talking. Same with Lowell and Lance for hoops. but it's even worse with Ahmad. Ahmad spends literally every spare second post-play breaking down whatever just happened like it's a post game break down show. 

 

Also, Lowell often seems like he's watching a different game. Whatever he's saying wil be the opposite of what's actually happening.

 

"He's got some room!" (he's gang tackled .5 seconds later)

"One man to beat!" (he's immediately tackled by five guys)

"And that field goal is good." (the field goal was not good)

someone please tell these guys to chill out.

I just turn down the sound.  It sucks because you can't hear the crowd, but you have to take the good with the bad.

they both suck, but honestly i haven't found them to be complete abortions tonight which is definitely a pleasant surprise. 

My favorite part was when Ahmad was discussing Montgomery suspension, dismissively saying everyone throws punches in games. 

What....

Ahmad could ease up on the use of the word moxie. 

During baseball season I kept hoping that Moreland or Swindell would just punch Galindo in the mouth.  It often sounded like they wanted to.

Lowell, if he plays his cards right, is the next Rece Davis. At least that is the model. He's good. He's calling national games now. He's not great, but he's "predictable" and that's what the suits like. Hate on him, but he's better than most people calling games for ESPN. 

LHN only has 3 commercials. I have them memorized.

for fun , just have 2 comedians do a game. Amy Schumer/Aziz Ansari?

He’s not good.  If he were good at all he wouldn’t still be at LHN however many years later this is.

He calls national games as well.

what a fucking horrible take.  he is nowhere near rece davis.  lowell has worked at LHN since it's inception while people like sam ponder, jane slater and emmanuel acho have all moved on to bigger jobs.  lowell isn't moving up because lowell sucks. 

Do you think these guys will be upset if Montgomery doesn’t come by and say hi after the game? They seem smitten.

he's not good. he's terrible. he does play by play like it's a weekly coach's show. he constantly asks long, inane questions, he's constantly talking about off field stories, and he's just constantly talking. he is objectively bad at his job, among the worst I've ever seen.

None of this is true. 

Montgomery ain’t coming back to school Ahmad.

Yeah one time he said “he’s got blockers” 

 

on the heard reverse he had no blockers

That one was my favorite.  wtf is he watching.

Still better than listening to Beth Mowins call a game.

All of that is true. But the morons don't get that. 

ESPN is a fucked up organization. I don't evaluate on the basis of their promotion policies. Yes, I knew it should be posted in the unnpopular opinions thread. But I like him, he's good enough. He's got what the higher ups are looking for. He's kind of a Rod Gilmore. The idiot you can deal with. Look at the guys they actually promote: morons. I'm not saying he's great, Gus Johnson is great. I'm saying he has what they are looking for.

edit: I can't explain why all of my text is bolder as well. shitty stupid mobile site.

 

how can you keep speaking with such confidence when the exact opposite of what you are saying is true? also, how do you reconcile, "i don't judge guys based on whether or not they get promoted", followed by, "Lowell Galindo (been watching all of his peers at LHN get promoted for years) has what the ESPN higher ups are looking for"??? That's insanity. and dude, look around- you're alone in this opinion, because you're wrong. he's objectively bad at doing pxp. nobody is looking to hire him.

so why the fuck is he the ONE person who hasn't moved on to greener pastures?

 

hint: he fucking sucks and isn't even worthy of the job he has now.

There were OL out in front, neither of them actually blocked anyone.

Ahmad said the Vince Young superman game at Kansas happened during the national title run. C'mon, man. 

 

For Galindo, just take a shot every time he talks, and you stop noticing him after a few minutes.

 

 

I would prefer 2 random people , picked from the crowd, with no prep just to react . 

Way better that the shit bubbling out of the tv speakers when these guys pair up for LHN.

After being subjected to Brando, Herbie and whoever was calling the Baylor game, I honestly don’t think the announcers were all that bad.

This is literally the worst take on surly since that guy said Zion Williamson would be the 4th-best player on Duke.

I had to turn the volume off.  Theyre terrible.  I don't think they've gotten any better. 

I think I'd prefer Gary Danielson and I loathe Gary Danielson. 

I'm not a guy that is bothered much by broadcasters either

Not popular but I like Galindo.

of course you do.

They’re better than the vast majority of broadcast teams out there. Sad but true. 


Most definitely the Fox duo that sucked Brewer’s dick all Rapey Baylor game.
