Author Topic: Onions! Bill Raftery will call tomorrow’s game eleem Player Member # 884 posted 02-27-2015 04:02 PM                     Prepare yourself, Hyatt bar, Bill Raftery is rolling into town. That’s right, the best announcer in college basketball is coming to Lexington to call the Kentucky/Arkansas game with Kevin Harlan. You know it’s big when they break out Raftery. Get used to seeing Raftery, because he’ll also call this year’s Final Four alongside Jim Nantz and Grant Hill. Last year, Jim Nantz, Greg Anthony and Steve Kerr had the honors, but Raftery’s been calling Final Four games for years on the radio. Here are his notes from last year’s Final Four in Dallas: Link Posts: 13248 | From: flatwoods,ky. | Registered: Oct 2000  |  IP: Logged eleem Player Member # 884 posted 02-27-2015 04:03 PM                     Bill Raftery is far from being the “greatest announcer in college basketball.”I think he is in the running for the worst. I find his manic-depressive style extremely irritating. His intermittent unintelligible outbursts may play in the Big East, but not with me. I agree 100% Posts: 13248 | From: flatwoods,ky. | Registered: Oct 2000  |  IP: Logged FlaCatz Player Member # 925 posted 02-27-2015 04:52 PM                     At least we don't have to worry about Billy pACCker anymore........ HE drove me nuts.. I'm a little more interested in who the REFS are?

Dickie V can get on my nerves at times, but he truly loves the game. Oneof the few that I really hated was Billy "ACC" Packer. I also think that former IU coach should be chained to a chair and forced to watch a video of himself throwing the chair across the court over and over again. Can't remember his name, but he was the one who refused to call "Kentucky" by its name for a couple of weeks one season.
