Kara Lawson moved to my least favorite after provoking the longest string of expletives I have ever spewed in Sectiom 21. :flame:
I thought her comments during the halftime show were slightly less than professional.

Whichever voice announces a Duke loss. I hope to not hear that one again this season. :D

I would much rather listen to Vitale than have to endure the agonizing pain that is Verne Lundquist. :Angry Orc:

What's so bad about Verne? I can think of at least 20 announcers who are worse.

He started bugging me during THE GAME. After Laetter pulled his Timberlake move, Elmore backed off, and said that he didn't know if Laettner did it on purpose. Verne chimed in condescendingly and quickly, "Yeah, he did. Pretty obvious."

I've never been able to like him ever since. Dude is worthless to me... except in Happy Gilmore.

Do you not think Laettner did that on purpose? I do, and I love the guy. To borrow Verne's words, I think it's "pretty obvious" that he meant to step on Timberlake...he was looking straight at him when he did it!
And anyway, that single incident shouldn't cloud the fact that Verne is one of the more incisive basketball analysts still going.

Cathy, is your Christian really named after Christian Laettner? 'Cause if so, that's awesome.

Yes, my Christian is named for Christian Laettner. The discussion came down to two names: Grant or Christian.

I would love to meet Christian Laettner some day. I think he is so cool and so talented.

He was a nice guy when I walked into him in the dairy section of the Kroger on Hillsborough Road in 1990.

Sounds vaugely familiar. :D

If Laettner really wanted to hurt the guy, he could have. Intentional? As a knowing tap, yeah.
