I think my biggest grievance with Bill is his tendency to launch into long stories that have nothing to do with the game or the teams (or even basketball) when the game is tight and the action deserves its own space. It’s like watching with my father-in-law when I usually want to say “hey old man, can you give it a rest? I’m trying to watch the game.”

As a big fan of Big Bill, I have to agree...

... OTOH, Bill is a reliable indicator of just how boring much of basketball can be, especially blowouts. And, one has to admit that the second half last night was boring AF.

I actually enjoyed every minute of the second half especially watching Pauley (where I played pick up games as a kid) turn into McKale NW.

UofA! UofA! UofA!

There was a lot going on to for 'Cat fans to enjoy - but not a competitive basketball game

Dave, you ever been to Westwood?

RJ with the digs towards Duke was just classic.

I don't recall a funnier UA player. He's a natural.

Couldn't watch with sound yesterday but glad he did good.

RJ stole my thunder last night - I was literally typing a post in the game thread...

RJ: "Kentucky is gonna beat Tennessee on Saturday! It is written..."

Another (which I said earlier in the week):

RJ: "Arizona is gonna win out!"

RJ ascended beyond Wildcat deity status last night. He's now alone in a pantheon yet to be filled with living gods of equal stature.

Can't even get him for our last game

FUCK

Really hope Walton is okay

Something tells me this is serious. Hope Bill recovers nicely.

The universe will not allow Bill to be taken from us.

Surprised there's not more information being shared. Get well Bill!!

He did not announce for very long but Steve Kerr was an incredible NBA analyst.

Kerr was the best. Funny and insightful.

Rewatched the game. RJ is supreme at sounding self-effacing while he humerously slides a shiv into Pasch's eye, causing Pasch to begin a round of sympathetic support only to get half way into it as he notices his own blood.

The best was at the end of the sequences where RJ went over the top with Wildcat praise and Pasch pushed back in the tiniest way possible, RJ asking in a very sincere and almost hurt tone… “Why do you have to bring up all this negative stuff about Arizona?”

Scheer inquired about Bill and he was told Bill is fine

Okay then he will be at tonight's game if he is fine.

Hope Bill gets better soon. Sucks he's missing the end of the Pac 12.

Been a month, doesn't read good.


Walton has also worked several Pac-12 Network games this season but hasn’t worked one since the Feb. 10 Washington State-Oregon broadcast.

Some fun times in that thread. Hope Bill can beat whatever is going on.

Is Pasch grave dancing?

Just reminiscing

Nothing will be 10% as good in the Big 12

Loser talk

Stuff likes this makes me a little sad.

Fuck that chair. It should die in a fire.

Here's a big shocker. For lead-in conference tournament stories, Wilner (world renowned expert on media contracts and economics with his journalism degree) picks us to lose right out of the box in Vegas, and his conjoined twin Hansen bemoans the loss of some obscure HOF ceremony that I don't even recall hearing about at the tournament and also bitches about future Big XII tournaments that he's never been to. Well, I'm glad we got the burning questions about their attitudes cleared up. Now maybe an IP search to see which board name they use while stealing story ideas.

Any update on Walton?

Haven't seen anything new, they did bring his chair and a pac 12 shirt out on the AZ/OR game broadcast and said they'd brought him along for the last P-12 Network broadcast

Hope hes OK

Matt Muehlebach believes he will be doing some Big 12 games next year, especially on FS1

No Pasch so that's good. He always works better with everyone else.

Also hope he gets some boring blowout pre-season games.
