I'm starting to really like The Bleacher Report

No doubt that Len Elmore should be on that list. Besides being a bad commentator, he is also a big conference shill. THAT is a bad combination.

Dickie Simpkins should be on this list for sure.

I thought LaPhonso Ellis was very good in his rookie season last year, but he also needs to stop giving nothing but superlatives and be a little more critical.

Dante Jackson and Brad Redford may be a team in the booth in a few years.

Dickie Simpkins is too anonymous to be on the list.

I actually really like Elmore- he is pretty insightful IMO and he studies/knows his teams pretty well. He may be a big conference shill- but when he does Xavier games I always thought he did a good job.

I hate bleacher report and I hate slideshows. So obviously I didn't look at who made it, I'm just gonna say my least favorite announcer is Jim Nantz. I hope he made the list.

Bleacher Report exists solely to get page hits. Terrible website.

Joe Buck better be #1 on that list.

Sorry, X. You need to go back and listen to him when he does XU games. I've listened to him plenty of times. I don't know if he has some vendetta against Xavier, but he sure has no love for us.

In the K-State game a couple of years ago, he must have said 15 times that the referees messed up by not calling a "first" foul on Tu Holloway then calling a foul that sent him to the line for 3 free throws. I get giving an opinion once, but 15 freaking times? Meanwhile he never said anything when the calls went against XU and for K-State. No credit for XU and fawning all over K-State. Thank Gawd Gus Johnson was there to balance it out.

Add to that a few years ago when he did the X-Borecats game and he sounded disappointed at the end when SucKS threw the ball away to cinch an XU win.

Screw him.

There was a 15 second advertisement in the middle of that slideshow. Unbelievable.

[BBC 08]

Websites that do slideshows for lists and other info need to be ended. I get why they do it (slideshow increases page views, increased page views means increased ad revenue) but it is so annoying.

[Xavgrad08]

I thought Bob Knight deserved to be on this list. Yes he was a great coach and knows basketball. However, he is very rarely prepared for games, and usually struggles with players names. He will also reiterate that he is a big proponent of the shot fake.

Hmm, My mistake. I guess I just have watched him do other games more and i feel he knows a lot about each team.

There was another list of worst basketball uniforms and the Dayton Flyers made it. So that list was pretty good.

After looking through the list some more UC also has some terrible jerseys.

You got away lucky. My computer got hung up for 15 seconds, played the ad, then stalled for another 15 before getting back to the list. And that was in addition to the 2 pop-ups, one of which took me to its page even though I clicked 'decline.'

Maybe no one wants to risk injury.
