Cox Broadcast of Drake Game

[jcdshocker]

Ewing not perfect but 10 times better than Bruce H. Bob H any day over Craig. Craig needs to go back to frying burgers.

Speaking of the Lockerroom Show, why is there no longer an assistant coach there?

Would you keep coming in if you had to take those calls every game? We have some all stars making really annoying calls and I bet they got tired of it.

It would be especially terrible after a loss when everyone calls in to ask you why you didn't win. I don't blame them.

I don't understand the love affair with Hull. I haven't watched much of Bruce and Craig so I have nothing to compare with, but to me Hull just states the obvious that the person with average BB IQ should already know/pick up on. I'll watch the replay to see what it is really like but Hull is just so so to me.

If you haven't watched Bruce and Craig, then you have absolutely no idea how bad they are.

Is Ewing the guy who couldn't pronounce Van "V"leet?

Seriously, how hard is it for Bob or someone in the truck to give him the correct pronunciation during a media timeout?

It drives me CRAZY when they say Van Fleet - actually, it is just being lazy on his part. One of them had it right - one wrong. But, what can you expect when there does not seem to be agreement on EO's last name pronunciation by coaches and media, eh? (Am I the only one that says "Chadrack Lufile" out loud when I am alone in my car just because it is such a cool name? - never mind, I probably am . . .)

Plus, he kept saying "particularily" (par-tik-you-LAIR-a-lee) - several times. No such word. It is "particularly". Weird from someone who makes their living pronouncing words.

I picked up on the peculiar pronunciation of particularly. Maybe he was disorientated. ;) And Hull mis-pronounced Fred's name a time or two before correcting it.

And speaking of pronouncing EO's last name correctly, I figured that by the time EO was a senior Mike Kennedy would have figured it out. Every time I hear Mike mispronounce his name, I say, "O-Roo-Pay." I know Mike prides himself on getting the opponents players' names pronounced correctly. Maybe he could get EO's name pronounced correctly, too.

I am an old man in my 60's and always thought the worst broadcast team ever was Tony Kubek and Curt Gowdy who did baseball on NBC in the 60's. I was wrong, Haertl and Steven are definitely far worse.

Steven has no business doing broadcasts.
