The homerism wouldn't be so bad if this team was actually good, but to make it seem like beating D2 teams awesome...
I've watched/listened to many home broadcast teams. This isn't one of the worst. The best might be BYU's. Those guys know football.

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.

Smartest kid on the short bus justification doesn't quite cut it for me, but nobody in Hawaii is probably any better.

Uh...homerism sells local games.

Kekaula does give credit to opposing players.

He's coherent. He gets the names right. He calls the plays correctly.
What else do you want?

Not be annoying with his intonation, not overstate everything, not think every Hawaii player is going to the NFL, etc.

Stuff broadcasters are supposed to do...

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