Dang! I am watching Tom Leach being interviewed on 'This Is Kentucky Basketball'. He looks absolutely NOTHING like I had him pictured!

He's a lot bigger than I thought he'd be

The hostess, Ms Palumbo sure is easy on the eyes

Norm, I have talked to Tom Leach many times at UK games. He is one heck of a nice guy. When I go to UK games I always visit with he and Mike Pratt, two of the very best. Yes, Tom is a big man, considerably overweight but one hell of an announcer.

I never thought anyone could ever replace Cawood but we got the only guy in the country that could come close to him. Tom Leach is fantastic.

Thank God for SportSync radio!! I can watch the game, hear what's going on, and not have to listen to those unprepared, biased, boobs that do the games for CBS.

I love Tom Leach's enthusiasm when UK does something great, like Aaron's three toward the end of the game Saturday and Andrew getting fouled with 6 seconds to go.

Jarcat, I agree with your CBS Boobs comment, but in my opinion, they are very professional, when compared to those at TBS! They openly rooted for Kentucky's opponents on every play.

Happy to say that Tom is from Paris - my home town!! [Smile]

WE WILL GET JIM NANCE THIS TIME, AND HE IS VERY GOOD.

But he has Grant Hill, a Dookie, as part of his announcing crew. Former Duke players dominate the studio's of ESPN and are now getting into the CBS area with Spanarkel, Grant Hill etc.

Nance is a big upgrade for sure. (Ed, sure didn't know you were from Paris KY.)

Bruce born in Cynthiana but spent most of my youth in Millersburg and finally Paris until I left for the Army and parts unknown!!
