I never thought I would even consider a time when I would long for Brian Davis...
But after further consideration, no one is worse than Brian Davis. These two, however, are close….

I didn't realize those guys did other games for FSN.
Although I think Heister might not be that terrible if he was actively rooting for your team.

Ehlo is horrible, just horrible
Thankfully I will be out of town for work and wont be able to watch or hear him.

remember the year he did sonics games?
too brutal.
Gesser is really bad too. I think I’ve heard him say “we” in referencing the Cougs before. thankfully he didn’t to many FSN things this year

Francis Williams actually did the best job I've heard in a while
It’s probably because Bone’s a Seattle guy and Reggie Moore is from Seattle, but still, he was decent.

Williams is pretty good
Marcus Johnson is the best FSN guy but for the northwest Williams is a good addition. Heister and Ehlo is brutal but if you have DVR you can try to sync up the radio and tv broadcast.

I like Johnson
Although his use of the word “overpenetration” gets a little old. Williams truly knows his hoops; I just get tired of his Seattle/UW-centric view sometimes.

Marques is great
but I really have only found him fantastic when he’s Callabro’s soul-powered sidekick. When he’s with Physioc, I can take him or leave him.

I was raised by Calabro and Marques.
My favorite sportscasting team ever.

Johnson and Calabro were great in the beginning
But then everyone told them how great they were and they began to believe the hype. They got too cute in their calling of the game and it became annoying.
Kind of like when you go to an NBA game they inundate you with so much external stimuli that it really isn’t about the game. I could only stand on going to a few games a year because I would rather watch at home without all the extra garbage.
That is how I began to feel about the way that Johnson and Calabro began to call games.

Yeah, I was pretty young so I didn't notice much of that.
NBA games suck live too by the way. FOR THE LAST TIME, I DON"T WANT TO CLAP MY F****** HANDS!

You and I are pretty much in agreement with NBA games
That is why I love going to college games so much more. It is the game that is important.
The NBA marketing guru’s overwhelm the senses and it is too much.
I agree about the forced clapping of hands over and over and over again.

Agree.
Calabro might be my favorite voice ever.

How would that work BornCoug?
Satalite TV is always slower than radio… so matter what you do with the DVR, you will still be behind the radio broadcast.

He still had his moments.
My favorite being the “If you followed Daven Harmeling’s career, you’d know that he just wasn’t the same after the shoulder injury” line.

That's where his Seattleness shined through
When he was talking about the current team, he was knowledgeable. You can tell he did his homework. But previous editions? Um, no.
