Fishback

This was a boring ass game, in which UK was just going through the motions and, despite winning the game comfortably, routinely got cooked on defense by a bunch of 2-star guards as per usual, was a step slow to every loose ball, and forced a bunch of ugly shots instead of passing to the open man. You can’t blame Fishback for piss poor commentary. It was a piss poor game. The last game he did was UNCW and that one sucked too.

We scored 96 and looked solid overall to me. I guess you like rock fights but have a feeling u will bitch about those too.
 
I know he's not the best, but I really like him.

If I had heard one more know what Im sayin I was going to put clothes hanger wires in my ears.
 
Those in-game interviews are ridiculous. This ain't the Merv Griffin show ffs.

The worst one I can remember was the Notre Dame game where Dick Vitale interviewed the ND football player with the fake girlfriend. Seems like it lasted the entire half ! You would have thought the guy was Jesus!

Crazy thing is, it almost won him the Heisman. Can you imagine the egg that woulda been on everyone’s faces at that point? Would’ve tainted the award forever.
 
Saying he's a so-so announcer is being very very generous. Dude tries to fit in a cliché phrase every play like he's a shitty DJ trying to impress the crowd. Dude tries way too hard to impress.
 
I hated it when he went to Auburn. I thought for sure he would go to UK.

I agree, he is a so so announcer.

He was a really good player for them too. We had owned auburn historically about as bad as any team in the league and i think he actually took a few games from us

Edit: okay they beat us once and it was close but it seemed like more lol

Fun fact. He and JP Blevins had several battles in the 4th region. Not many times 2 players come from the fourth to major sec teams.

Sure does. They had some damn good teams during his heyday, in the late 90s. Won the league in 1999, IIRC.

Ahhhh the good ole days. College basketball was as strong as it ever was and being in high school. I feel old. 🥴
 
On the Rupps Rafters to real world scale, getting called a so so announcer is the equivalent to being called pretty damn good.
 
He's fine. I don't understand why people pay so much attention to the announcers and then get worked up over them. I barely notice them.

I would have felt I wasted every penny going to a game like that. Just awful. Clearly we were far more talented, but this was a poor coaching / planning effort.
 
I thought Sam bowie was awesome and hell he got into standard breds and quit broadcasting
