Although it was fun listening to him deflect any flaws the rats had in their loss at UO. As far as the game, UO pretty much dominated from the tip to horn. The rats made their typical late run and the ducks tried to give it back, but prevailed in the end. Thanks for setting them up for us rats!

He went away for a good 6-7 years it feels like.  Why the hell did ESPN give him another job?

He's not saying that they will far that far, but they're definitely over rated. Their OOC wins are going to hold them afloat but Florida doesn't look like a top tier team like people said and SDSU only has 2 good losses but no good wins. What's funny is that if DePaul was replaced with a top 10 team there's no way we get ranked where SDSU is. Fact is, unlike football, rankings have more to do with school history and how many stars your recruits had then how the team is actually playing.

have all been a point or so win for them in regulation time

I don't think it's fair to drop them from no. 4 down into the teens yet. They still had some big wins in their OOC schedule. And honestly I hope they are still in the top 10 when ASU plays them.

I like his zany approach, and many Grateful Dead references.

I think he is refreshing and really funny.  A lot of those talking heads are just that.....Bill Walton is a classic. 

Walton-

"I have always wanted to be part of something special, and when I got to Boston... actually, when I bought, begged and pleaded my way onto the Celtics... it was already a championship team. I was just glad to be able to sit there and cheer and to be Larry Bird's valet, to be sure that his shoes were fine and his uniform was folded neatly."

"Raef Lafrentz and Shawn Bradley should start considering a new career."

"The art of tossing up the jump ball has really declined. These officials need to spend more time practicing in off-season."


"It looked like they were moving forward when they bought out Shawn Bradley's contract. Now, they still have him. His name just changed to Erick Dampier."
