The homerism wouldn't be so bad if this team was actually good, but to make it seem like beating D2 teams awesome...

Re: *** Official UH vs New Mexico St Game Day Thread ***
I'm being a homer here but the best ever was George Kay/Dave Walsh back in the 1980s to the late 1990s were the best broadcast teams you'll ever hear on the radio! They even took the time to prounce the names of the Hawaii players correctly during Paniolo games.SundayJam wrote:I've watched/listened to many home broadcast teams. This isn't one of the worst.

Not be annoying with his intonation, not overstate everything, not think every Hawaii player is going to the NFL, etc.SundayJam wrote:He's coherent. He gets the names right. He calls the plays correctly.warrior1984 wrote:[

Sportscasters are all about fluff, my man.
They are always trying to make something out of nothing.
