That dude’s best days are way behind him. Finally got to watch the game today and man did he struggle. Continually got players names wrong, didn’t know who was on the game at times, kept saying that Barney called for a fair catch, etc. Then he wouldn’t shut up about the refs not blowing the fumble return dead because it was a forward pass. It wasn’t as obvious as he thinks and I believe refs are inclined to let a play keep going like that knowing that replay can correct it if they are wrong.

The man's post-game show was on point, though.

My favorite was when he commented on our two time all Big Ten punter. Plus he as much as admitted that he put coin on MSU and was all giddy when they got the garbage time TD.

I don’t know, he seems like a nice guy, loves Nebraska and is self deprecating if he gets something wrong.

What’s to hate?

I didn't catch that one.

I said this in another thread but I have a coworker who is really good friends with Brando and they get together when he is here for Pickle Smoochers and Nebraska games. Says 2 things about him: a) he’s a A+ human being and b)he drinks like a fish

Yeah he mysteriously brought up Vegas and odds right after MSU's long pass to the goal line. Devin Gardner being kind of slow upstairs took a bit to catch on but then was like "But of course you wouldn't bet on the game" wink wink nudge nudge

Ok so he was drunk for the broadcast …

I like Brando as far as those folks go. I don't mind when broadcast team makes some mistakes as long as they aren't clueless throughout or biased in their presentation.

Yeah I notice it during the game but I couldn’t give a fuck less if they call our punter who is 18 a 2 time all big 10 player. Beats the hell out of listening to Gus Johnson screaming dumb shit for 2.5 hours.

That reminds me how annoying a broadcast is if they are either using a thesaurus in word choice or have given a nickname to a player that they repeat over and over and over. Also, if the broadcast repeatedly brings up other teams that aren't playing the game they are calling. Gary and Vern would talk about Alabama for 40% of the time during say a Ky UGA game. Even worse if Bama was playing at the same time. I actually liked them both, but that drove me crazy. I like Kirk H as well, but if your team is playing tOSU then it isn't exactly level and unbiased from him. He used to be the opposite and would go out of way to be extra critical of tOSU.
Jesse Palmer did a great job this past weekend calling UGA/KY game, and his critique of UGA's issues on D were excellent. I hope it reaches the ears of the coaches.

Holy shit, it’s like you’re reading my mind. I originally started hating Gus Johnson when he would yell “MASERATI” every time Marvin Harrison Jr. made a play & the worst part of all of it was Gus gave him that nickname.

I didn’t notice Herbstreet switched to being a homer, I’ve thought he was overly critical of tOSU for awhile.

I absolutely hated when in the beginning of the game, an MSU defender got a little aggressive in pass protection against our WR and Brando says, 'looks like the refs are going to let them play."

Fast forward a quarter and our DB does the same to their WR in the endzone, "That should have been interference" or "That should have been holding on that DB."

Shut up Brando.

B - drinks like a fish automatically makes him top shelf in my eyes.

…and don’t judge me for that tPB.

Beth would tie you in knots with her sharp analysis and quick wit.

I will turn on split screen if the game I want to watch is being called by Gus and switch to the audio of the other game.

He drives me up a fucking wall.

Early in the game Brando started talking about how Rhule was in year 4, he turns around programs in year 3, but year 4 also.

In any other person we would call that Early Onset Dementia.
