"Resilite", "hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya", etc. All I know is I was fine with these guys before...and now I just went back and watched the B1G Semis and Tim Johnson was annoying the hell out of me with his talk about Ridge Lovett in the room and how Nebraska guys are all about their team and then he dropped in a fact about the first time Neb has had two undefeated Wrestlers(and then about 2 minutes later and after others had spoken) he said...since 1961...as if he was scrolling through the guide. It reminds me of watching TV with my Grandma and I pointed out a laugh track to her...and it ruined the show for her. If fact I just posted a Nelson Brands video from 2021 and Shane Sparks mentions resilite a few times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not134 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I like listening to Jim Gibbons. He's brings a lot of technical knowledge to the table and delivers it in a colorful way. Tim Johnson is okay too but does have a tendency to nut-hug the Iowa guys a little too much for me. Shane Sparks is just flat-out annoying - it's like he's trying too hard all the time. He should also just propose to Spencer Lee and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the Okies call it a Tulsa Ride and according to John Smith it is a turn for legit competition (from about 20 years ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a difference. Is Robles scheduled to call NCAAs? I don't think he was on last year (or maybe just partial sessions?) but not 100% sure. I thought the same thing. I seem to remember that he did some commentary in past NCAAs and wasn't terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I would like to hear Sparks, Bader, and Ironside do pbp at a tournament together... but only with the volume on my tv turned down to 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
