The best thing about this game is that it is going to be on ESPNU and we do not have to listen to Oakland's idiot color guy that has his "of course" saying he uses after ever 3 point shot made.

Oakland 1-12 from three and they hit their second one.... “OOOFF COOURSE!” Obnoxious. Yet people say we have the worst broadcast team in the league. Chris has to be the best play by play broadcaster in the HL, but I can see how the coach may be irritating on occasion.

Coach sometimes talks a little too long, and often times Chris has to cut him off in order to keep up with the in game action, but other then that they are good together.

Don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say that. If they do say that then they have no idea what they’re talking about. Chris and Coach Brown are fantastic.

Just about every game against us at least one person brings it up.

Winning contributes... who wants to hear our broadcast team when their team is on the losing side of things?! About every mention of our broadcast team includes grumblings about the officiating. Hand-in-hand.
I think Chris and Coach do an admirable job. Let the haters hate.

Except the two that basically have no message board. The entire league cant stand Coach Brown. I think the "of course" guy at Oakland is bad, but the YSU "bang bang" guy is also pretty bad.

The WSU play-by-play team is one of the best in the Horizon League, but that said, I do miss when they teamed Collins with a former WSU player. Why not add a third person to the mix? Have always liked Brown, but he does ramble and he does say the same things over and over. Rotating former players would provide additional insight into the WSU basketball experience, plus provide a players perspective (and cut back on Brown's hogging the mic). We went away from the former players because most nights it just didn’t work. They weren’t experienced broadcasters and made it harder for Collins to call games because he had to try to call the game and get whoever he was teamed up with to contribute to the conversation. The whole broadcast made us look Mickey Mouse because we didn’t have a consistent broadcast team and honestly I don’t think Chris would have stayed on much longer if we would have kept up with the rotating partners for him. In regards to Coach Brown, most opposing fan bases don’t like him. He is a homer and he does stutter his way through a good portion of every broadcast. He sees things through green and gold colored glasses and that is why he is one of our broadcasters. Our fans love him and our broadcasts are for our fans. We shouldn’t give a shit what the fans from the rest of the HL think about him. He is at least educated about the game of basketball and does his research on the opposing teams we play. How many play by play guys do we have to listen to for HL away games that don’t know a damn thing about our team?

Collins and Coach do a great job for the reasons Big D listed. I think rotating a third guy into the broadcast team would be awkward to get into the flow of the Collins and Coach. It's not broke, so don't fix it.

Coach Brown is a great guy and is a better color guy than the clowns the other HL teams put out there...BUT...Chris needs a mute button when Coach talks through the entire next possession. Coach, when the ball gets to mid-court you need to stop talking so Chris can do his thing. It's quite annoying.

We need to start on the right foot with a road conference win and keep that road winning streak going. If we hold them to their average in the low 60’s, our offense should take care of itself.
