Horrible. That list of top 5 nyc. No Mullin, louie, Ewing, Carmelo , Julius irving. Coach k and jimmer. Blasphemous
Hate to break it to you guys, but this is what the young generation finds entertaining. It's all about hot takes, witty lines, outrageous comments. Really has nothing to do with announcing the game. It has to be tailor made for tik tok and social media. Sad that's it's gotten to this point.
I can appreciate hot takes, witty lines and outrageous comments as much as anyone. Not only didn't I hear any of those, I didn't hear anything that remotely resembling knowledge of the game and/or intelligence. If this is what I have to look forward too on SJU broadcasts, I'll just tune out. Let them cater to a younger demographic, we know how well they've done with that strategy-if they've even had a strategy-over the years.Room112 post=443866 said:

Actually thought they were fun to listen to at points. They acknowledged fans were hating on them and laughing it off. It was funny that they displayed twitter comments bashing them. The top NYC 5 was a joke and the only reason it wasn't as funny as it should have been is that their lists were similar.
They are not good as game announcers at this point but will get better if they continue. When/if that happens they will attract a following because they are entertaining.
Let's not forget that Rizzuto would sometimes forget to announce what was happening on the field while engaged in humorous banter in the booth. This is nothing new in sports broadcasting.
TV play by play is often superfluous because viewers see what is happening. Color makes the game and that's why Raftery, Al McGuire, and Vitale are/were so popular. Of course they were better at announcing bit these guys will get better too.

I never heard of these guys and they stunk on ice as traditional “announcers” but did most people not pickup on the sarcasm?
-They led off by saying St. John’s-St. Francis was the game of the day on the night #1 was playing #2.
-They listed Jimmer Ferdette as a NY basketball legend lol
-When we scored our 69th point, one of them said “and the race to 69 has been won by St. John’s”
This was their first time announcing apparently and they weren’t very good. Still crazy how people thought they were actually serious about 90% of what they said.

2 things: When the majority of your audience doesn't realize that you're trying to be funny, then either you're not being funny, or you don't know your audience. Second, something ceases to be funny at some point after you've repeated it multiple times.sirvoo post=443938 said:
