Really….. i’ve gotten to the point I prefer them… There are so many idiots in the booth anymore. Trying to be funny or cute or smart, my son and I make fun of them all day long while listening to games. There really isn’t one where I say. Oh thank goodness they’re doing the game.
It was a a little tongue-in-cheek but, otoh, I can't say I've heard a good crew yet. Admittedly, a small sample size.
I think I would really enjoy a female crew if they could relate something unique to the women's game. I'm not even sure what that might be, but as is, it's just a lot of the same-ol-same-ol.

Moral, tonight:
I had to go into work early today too, this is going to be a rough one. I regret never becoming a person that can take naps.
Thanks. This is a great idea, especially for basketball. I think I'll give it a try. Thank gawd for the wisdom and insight on this board.
I think the lady hawks need to buckle up tonight. Caitlin and others are going to be bumped and checked more than against holy cross and CC didnt like that treatment very much with the lack of whistles.
Lady Hawks really like to play that clean uptempo offense and very good positional defense.
Not sure how WV is with height and rebounding but Iowa really rebounded well against holy cross to make up for some sloppy turnovers.
The 2 guys in the booth for the Iowa men's game last night really were BAD in my opinion.
So you're saying Iowa's basketball players prefer playing basketball to rugby. I think you are correct. And I much prefer watching basketball instead of rugby. Any significant contact in basketball is, by rule, a foul. If the officials called the game that way, all this BS "physical" play would stop--men and women.
I am SO sick of seeing some behemoth repeatedly crash into a defender, knocking them back a few feet each time, until the offensive player is under the basket for a lay-up. That kind of garbage is ruining the game. And when "physical" play is allowed, it undermines the fundamental nature of basketball. The truth is, when one team plays rugby and the other plays basketball, it's a wonder there aren't fights all the time. If the officials won't protect the integrity of the game, what is a player supposed to do?
If you don't understand CC's frustration at this BS, you've never played basketball . . . not even at the Y or the rec center . . . where "physical" play results in payback.
Again, your description of Iowa is the definition of textbook basketball. It's a beautiful thing. James Naismith invented a noncontact sport. It's up to the officials to make sure every game is played that way. Sadly, few of them are up to the task.
need to stop this gal
Iowa had Quinn Early. WVU has Quinerly.
Think Catlin’s dad probably told her to chill out a little in this game. He probably still has some influence.
I actually appreciate good defense, it’s why I am OK with Fran McCaffrey leaving because our men’s team couldn’t guard a fireplace if they were chained to it.
And I also really enjoy Iowa State “winning” but as I said to my uncle the other day, a huge Iowa State fan, I enjoy watching them play per se, but it is literally like watching a rugby match.
They absolutely beat the crap out of people!!
Affolter's been doing a good job since she's been out. Be a beast, Hannah.
She rarely misses on that left-wing. It seems to me. @littlez this bozo thinks you are me… You might want to explain to him some of the riffs we’ve had on the football board. Lol.
Steulke game. If WV likes to press, get out and run and break the press. Lots of layups for Stuelke
I took WVU, mostly for the reverse mojo effect. It worked last year until The Bayou Barnrats.
